TIME TO STOP QUOTING AND START CREATING!

“THE WHOLE WORLD SEEMS TO BE ON A BAD DRUG”
Alec Empire , taken from Control Drug of SHIVERS
Hey!
It’s spring 2009! flowers start to grow…slowly but surely!
The Golden Foretaste of Heaven Film by Richard Wilhelmer went down like a storm at Los Angeles David Lynch screening “Engine Collision Fest” and [...]

Audio Mashups are such old news…it is embarrassing. Why mix a new group which sounds like something old, with let’s say…Snoop Doog ? This was fun in 1997…maybe…or was it 1991? the Audio quiz show…
we find the audio visual approach much more interesting these days. Especially when the original audio source material has samples [...]

Genius “Shizuo” covering The Cramps “New Kick” back in 1997 on Beastie Boys Grand Royal label….(and DHR of course)
ok, I stop crying now…

…we were so busy partying…so
HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR!
While music journalists in Germany are wondering what happened to pop music (yes, we said it years ago. In a globalized economy national pop music is becoming less relevant every year. Music , after all, is not that different to the rest of the economy.) , we [...]

It was a hard competition, probably the hardest this year…(yes, harder
than the US election – why? Because only the hardest joined, only the ones
who know and understand…and they are called: the hardcore!)
The Bass Terror competition….man….

ALEC EMPIRE TALKS TO CHRISTOPH DE BABALON ABOUT HIS NEW ALBUM, BREAKCORE, SAMPLING TECHNOLOGY AND GREEK MYTHOLOGY

Alec Empire: “Please tell us about your new album. What made you come up with the concept? I think it is outstanding that a musician would think himself into such a imaginary world and drags the listener into it.”

Christoph [...]

SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH MSX HURRICANE
After a party like the one I witnessed last night, I get up with such a headache…it’s pounding my brain….like a sledge hammer..and I don’t even drink! X !
Berlin Mitte has spiraled down quite a bit since I was last there…and this is what you get when you do an old [...]

Writer Nathan Meunier interviewed Alec Empire about his Gameboy album which originally was released in 1998. Since then game boy music has really developed into a genre of its own. We had some request from subscribers to re-publish the interview as it is hard to find on the internet.

“Scylla & Charybdis”: This new release by Christoph de Babalon is dedicated to two unfortunate girls from Greek mythology. Once beautiful nymphs, both were jinxed to live their life as monsters.

To describe his melancholic viewpoint of their fate, he chose the long forgotten romantic art of the Symphonic Poem. Influenced by works such as Arnold [...]

“Schauen wir zur?ck nach Berlin. Bewusst in der Vergangenheit formuliert, da ich Atari Teenage Riot nicht mehr mit derselben Wucht als aktiv empfinde wie Die Goldenen Zitronen.
Was dem Respekt f?r sie und ihre Haltung und ihre Musik aber keinen Abbruch tut. Die Form, f?r die sich [...]

Another project which Alec has been getting ready is the remastered tracks from the
legendary Bass Terror era, the time before digital hard-core started and Empire and
his gang pretty much invented breakcore (yes, we are talking 1991-1993 here!).
A lot of unreleased music which was considered “too extreme” by former label Force Inc. Music Works.
