Review: Mambana – Felicidad
MAMBANA “FELICIDAD” Soulfuric Trax Mambana is a combination of two very different personalities united by music, Isabel Fructuosos (of Afro Medusa, Afro Angel) a Spanish singer and songwriter writer with a wandering spirit full of Latin flava and Axwell (DJ/producer/mixer: Jetlag, Usher, Stonebridge, Room 5 and Soulsearcher) a young Swedish producer, with the expertise of

Review: M2 – The Frozen Spark
M2 The Frozen Spark Ant Zen Street: 06.08 Squaremeter has always been consistent for keeping his signature beeping and for having intense negative space, but changing it up enough to keep it interesting. This time Mathis Mootz goes into a completely different direction with ominous, ambient soundscapes filled with hollow whispers and eerie consistencies. The
Review: Laibach – Anthems And The Videos
LAIBACH ANTHEMS AND THE VIDEOS Mute 5/5 Laibach is an act that has surpassed the test of time. The Slovenian, multi-media act came into exsistence in 1980, and proved to be controversial before ever releasing an album or performing a show. Dressed in Yugoslav army uniforms with specially designed insignias on the arm bands,
Review: Lights of Euphoria – Gegen Den Strom
Lights of Euphoria Gegen Den Strom Metropolis It’s common nowadays that if your album isn’t good enough to stand alone, you should add some remixes from artists that people like. Lights of Euphoria were smart enough to do that for the limited-edition North American release of Gegen Den Strom (Against the River). The 12 tracks
Review: Kattoo – Places
KATTOO PLACES Hymen 5/5 Originally Kattoo (Volker from Beefcake) was commissioned to do the soundtrack for a low-budget German porno that featured midgets and de-clawed cats.

Review: Iszoloscope – Les Gorges Des Limbes
ISZOLOSCOPE LES GORGES DES LIMBES Ant Zen 4/5 To celebrate the five-year anniversary of Iszoloscope, Yann Faussurier has a five-track treat—Les Gorges Des Limbes. Similar to the dark atmospheres and hollow drones of Aquifère, Les Gorges Des Limbes is just the flipside to his previous release, Au Seuil du Néant, which weaves in and out

JENNIFER HOLLIDAY “THINK IT OVER” (REMIXES) JellyBean Soul Another classic hit is rediscovered and delivered in full force on JellyBean Soul; this time with Texan singer Jennifer Holliday on the vocals.

Review: Icon Of Coil – Uploaded And Remixed
ICON OF COIL UPLOADED AND REMIXED Metropolis 4.5/5 Icon of Coil set out to do more damage to dance clubs across the globe when releasing UploadedandRemixed. The Oslo boys released their third album, Machines Are Us, only a few months ago, then did a U.S. tour and now are outdoing themselves with fourteen tracks
Review: Hocico – Born To Be Heated
HOCICO BORN TO BE HATED Out of Line 4/5 It’s hard for me to get tired of Hocico. They produce so much consistently angry, quality music and it never seems to get old. “Born to be (Hated)” is the single to the album that is rumored to be released sometime in August. Four tracks (the
