To kill time while waiting for the Monocorpse (and FOQL and FFFC) vinyls to arrive (expected later this month) there is a second video track online now… After the track Monocorpse “Arrival” the musician serves you now “2nd Offer”… enjoy!

After almost 20 records in about 2 years time it is time to change the concept and the looks of Gooiland Elektro a bit… three new releases show the new direction… first of all the records by FOQL, Monocorpse and FFFC are released in a small edition of 150 copies only… as original intended when the label was conceived. Next to that the records will from now on come in sleeves which are hand printed by myself…
What stays the same is the focus on new and unknown artists and projects and sounds which are not released by other labels… so the sounds, but also the looks, will stay recognizable as being typical Gooiland Elektro and Enfant Terrible…
FOQL, Monocorpse and FFFC all deliver an EP filled with techno related sounds but all three are different in their ways to treat this music tradition… FOQL brings in some (spi)ritual sounds and structures and touches of Coil, The Future Sound Of London and even maybe Kobosil. Monocorpse on the other hand delivers some pounding raw, primitive and occult dark techno which will appeal to fans of Ancient Methods. FFFC will make you trip away on synth tapestries placed on top of techno and EBM rhythms…
Previews of sounds and artwork are available here…
Full track previews are available here…
The records are expected at the end of June… but you can pre-order these now here…
Several things went on the past few days… so here is a short update on all of
that…
Last sunday Diamantener Oberhof performed live at Radio Resistencia… it was the first ever concert by this German Dada folklore duo… the session will be narrowcasted on Intergalactic FM on IFM1 on Monday 4th of May from 22.00 CET onwards… here is picture of their performance… 
Next to that the albums by Neugeborene Nachtmusik and Tobias Bernstrup were released… I am still in the middle of shipping them around… but they are starting to arrive at shops and private orders already… here is teaser/promo video for the release…

Embers did get great feedback on their mini album but had some personnel changes which prevented them to perform live the last couple of months… but they are back! They have two different live line-up’s now… one as a duo with the electronic sound as on the record and one with an additional live drummer and an acoustic oriented sound…. they did a try-out concert with this new line-up at my favourite Belgium record shop Wool-E-shop… see here and listen here how this looks and sounds…

And… even though the new records still have to shipped partly I am already busy with getting the next records to the pressing plant… one of these will be a 12″ by Dutch dark/occult techno project Monocorpse… here is a video of one of the tracks featured on this 12″…

Both the Tobias Bernstrup LP “Romanticism” and the debut LP by Neugeborene Nachtmusik are ready and I will start shipping on monday the 20th of April… here are pictures of how they look…
For the local people there is an option to get these records already this sunday at Radio Resistencia… just another reason to drop by at Kapitaal in Utrecht for Diamantneer Oberhof live on stage… if you decide to join us and want a copy please drop me note so I can secure a copy for you…
This week I had a meeting with Roberto Auser (who is also in Kaval)… this as he will be doing the design and styling of Enfant Terrible records together with me from now on… first thing we are working on is the new design for Gooiland Elektro… so starting with Gooiland 20 (coming before summer) the Gooiland records will have a new look and feel…
Anyway he gave me the third release on his own Ausland Records… the final part of the trilogy by Roberto Auser… which is truly an impressive body of work…
The three 12″ EP’s take you by the hand and leads you through different places in the world of Ausland… it starts with a trip to a weird tropical place with “Future Exotica”… jungle sounds and synth sounds go hand in hand in a soundtrack for a trippy sci-fi film about a future past?
After this “Darkness Walks” mixes electronics with some jazzy influences to fit a film noir context for sure… the jazzy part is even more articulated in the new and last EP entitled “The New Dimension”… about of Dale Cooper Quartet can be found here but also more weird psychedelic touches are there… feeling like you are transported back to a wild 60’s party…
Intended as a trilogy and ending with a record called “The New Dimension” one can only guess what will be next…
Here is one piece from the “Future Exotica” release…
This sunday 18th of January there will be a Radio Resistencia session at Kapitaal Utrecht. The line up is dj M., Former Descent (live) and dj Alacidus.
Former Descent will be presenting his recent release on Gooiland Elektro… so expect tough beats and a melodic touch… all done on the Tenori-on…
We start at 15.00 hour and end around 18.00 hour… entrance is free… there are drinks for sale like locally brewed beers..
If you are in the area we like to see you there… and here is a track by Former Descent to get in the mood…
