“You are cured!”

These words are a dream come true to any cancer patient.

Jim Semonik — scene promoter, DJ, and frontman of electro-industrial act Rein[Forced] — returns to give the vile disease another pummeling with a ton of his friends, comrades, heroes, and allies in Electronic Saviors III: Remission.

Jim, creator of the series, recently celebrated five years cancer-free and is eager to share his gift with the world. He was diagnosed in 2008 with stage 2B colorectal cancer, and has since made Electronic Saviors his dream project along with close friend Chase Dudley (boxed warning). The Electronic Saviors series has been one of the most successful compilation series in industrial scene history, having already raised over $33K for charity.

Now, Jim returns with an armada of talent to shake dance floors and crush eardrums. Brand-new and exclusive tracks from Combichrist, 16 Volt, Hate Dept, Stromkern, Rein[Forced], Panic Lift, Ego Likeness, Left Spine Down, Aesthetic Perfection, and many more make Electronic Saviors III an essential purchase. Limited to 1,000 copies, this volume is expected to sell out quickly and become a collector’s item.

San Francisco four-piece Vaniish began when singer and guitarist Keven Tecon (ex-Wax Idols, The Soft Moon, Veil Veil Vanish) left his previous bands after his mother’s death in early 2013. Upon returning home, Tecon decided to focus entirely on a new project along with fellow Wax Idols and Veil Veil Vanish member Amy Rosenoff (bass) and SF musicscene luminaries Adam Beck (guitar/keyboards) and Nick Ott (drums). The album Memory Work is both dense and spacious, combining the atmosphere of early 4AD with the psychedelic shoegaze of Creation Records to envelope the listener in a world of eerie soundscapes and surreal lyrics. The album was produced by Monte Vallier (Weekend, The Soft Moon, Wax Idols).

“Creating dark, dreamlike moods through dense, epic arrangements is definitely their strength … and if that’s the feeling you’re looking for, you won’t be disappointed.”

Borghesia, founded in 1982, is one of the founders of EBM. Full servicing to press, radio, and club DJs. Extensive targeted Facebook and Google ad campaign.

RIYL: Skinny Puppy, Laibach, D.A.F., Front 242.

Formed in 1982, Borghesia is an influential electronic rock group created in Ljubljana, Slovenia by members of the alternative theatre group “Theatre FV-112/15.” The band, along with fellow Slovenian music collective Laibach, were not only at the forefront of the Slovenian alternative music scene, but also on the cutting-edge of the burgeoning underground dark electronic scenes. After a period of dormancy from the mid-’90s to 2009, Borghesia began to once again create music; the result of these efforts is And Man Created God. This new album is a compelling, confrontational work of art; the subject matter touches on the idea that the corrupt, diseased systems of old are just replaced with more of the same.

• Press team already delivering positive reviews.

Guy Blakeslee (The Entrance Band) delivers his first solo album in 10 years! Produced by Chris Coady (Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeahs), the album Ophelia Slowly takes a step back from the dense rock sound his psychedelic trio is known for, delving into a sparse, spooky dreamscape where drum loops, synthesizers, and the occasional acoustic guitar frame haunting vocals.

Recording under his own name for the first time, Blakeslee seems to be clueing us in that his intentions for this project are that it be intimate and vulnerable, and as anyone who caught his recent solo dates opening for Spiritualized or Cat Power will attest, he delivers on that promise. His reworked 2003 version of Skip James’ “I’m So Glad” is heard in the soundtrack for Spike Jonze’s Academy Award®-winning film Her, appearing as the infectious song Scarlett Johansson’s “character” shares with Joaquin Phoenix, confessing she can’t stop listening to it. Hopefully Ophelia Slowly will produce a similar result.

Trio (New Haven) 2013 is legendary composer and saxophonist Anthony Braxton’s first trio recording with two drummers. The group includes Tomas Fujiwara and Tom Rainey, two of New York’s most in-demand drummers. Throughout the course of the four-CD set, the group moves from open improvisation to playing Braxton’s Falling River Music to excerpts from Braxton’s Ghost Trance Music Secondary Compositions. The group seamlessly incorporates improvisation and composition by using Braxton’s music system, which has been in development since the late ’60s.

This set is a rare glimpse into the first musical meeting of three musicians, which blossoms into a full-fledged compositional statement.

“Even if you ignore his purely conceptual triumphs, Braxton has amassed one of the meatiest and most varied bodies of work in experimental music.”

An international multimedia project based around the ideas of improvisational music and the coming together of musicians from different countries and musical backgrounds to create a spontaneous sonic landscape. “Skeylja” is an invented word combining the Frisian word for Terschelling (“Skylge”) and the Icelandic word for island (“Eyjan”). The project started when the Alvaret Ensemble (Greg Haines, Jan & Romke Kleefstra, and Sytze Pruiksma) travelled to Iceland to try to find a shared music language with Icelandic musicians Ingi Garðar Erlendsson, Kira Kira, Borgar Magnason, and Eiríkur Orri Ólafsson. They were joined by the 33 1/3 Collective, a group of visual artists from the Netherlands who began to collect footage that would later be used as source material for the visual side of the performance.

The year 2013 saw a sea-change for Cyferdyne, with the departure of previous programmer, producer, and co-vocalist Niall Robertson and the recruitment of local Lancaster-based Ritual Noise DJ Andy McBain. Any doubts one might harbor about how this might impact Cyferdyne’s sound should be swiftly and firmly laid to rest by the assured and powerful production of their exceptional second album, Keep Your Silence. Written by the original line-up including Niall, and recorded and produced by the new line-up, Keep Your Silence demonstrates the depth of development in both sound and songwriting one would expect from a second album, straddling the line between satisfying fans of the band’s debut Genesys and those seeking something more.

For fans of Scotland’s finest electro-industrial export Surgyn, the wait for a new full-length record has been a long and impatient one, only whetted by album-teaser Feed Me Fame, released as a digital single last summer to coincide with the band’s UK tour with Combichrist.

But where the previous album was more bruising and beat-driven, Envy is an entirely different beast, beginning in familiar territory before taking the listener down a dark and twisted path to deliver an entirely unexpected and brilliantly eclectic “second act.”

With their most recent effort, Crime & Compass, Anchoress have delved deeper into creating songs that defy categorization. On the surface, the album continues right where Set Sail left off. But, upon further inspection it becomes clear that the band has done some growing up. Crime & Compass is far from being just another run-of-the-mill hardcore punk album. The attack of the songs is schizophrenic in the best of ways. From the blistering rock ‘n’ roll swagger of tracks like “Curtain Call” to the dark, vicious lashings of “Last Sailing of the Miskatonic Mariner” and the ebb & flow of the epic “Dear Home,” the band defiantly explores the outer reaches of their sound, feverishly looking to expand their creative territory.

• The newest record from visionary composer Uri Caine!

• Available on CD and 180-gram vinyl.

Uri Caine performs all pieces on this album in one single pass, without any edits. The compositions are played on a special Steinway grand piano in the former Power Station recording studio, a room with excellent acoustics and best analog technique. Callithump can best be described as a “burlesque serenade,” in which Caine’s distinctive playing is at its fullest and most compelling.

“Uri Caine’s composer projects are in a league by themselves.”
