With “Der Böse Gott”, AD:KEY dive deep into the dark mirror of humanity. Inspired by a surrealist narrative, the title track portrays humankind as a self-made god – rising above nature through technology, only to turn into a destructive, remorseless monster. Chemical, biological, nuclear… every innovation perverted into yet another weapon. Cynical. Brutal. Unstoppable. “Der Böse Gott” is AD:KEY’s philosophical reflection on our reckless relationship with the world and with ourselves.

“Der Böse Gott” is a slow, heavy, atmospheric track where AD:KEY step out of pure floor-focus to deliver a dark, surreal reflection on humanity turning itself into a destructive, technology-driven “god.” It’s the spiritual successor to their “Anthropozän” song – tense, brooding, and conceptually loaded, while still unmistakably AD:KEY.

To expand the experience, the duo bring in allies like BAGGER 258, WHITE NOISE TV, MC1R and AKTION:FIASKO, each pushing “Der Böse Gott” into new territories — from gritty EBM pressure to driving dark electro reinterpretations.

They also open the vault to reveal “No Way Without You”, a late but deeply personal track from the “0609” sessions – melodic, emotional and a perfect contrast to the EP’s darker backbone. The closing “Psalm 121” seals the release with a haunting, cinematic touch.

Short, forceful, and designed to hit hard “Der Böse Gott” is AD:KEY at their most focused and impactful.

Framed by the instrumental pieces “Kontraktion V.01” (Prolog) and “Kontraktion V.02” (Epilog) – two synth-driven tracks inspired by the rhythmic contraction of the heart, symbolizing the album’s theme of heart fusion, the EP pulses with heart and energy. It also includes the “Prelude Mix” of “Bad Times Pass By”, originally created as a live intro, that turns into a powerful track about personal struggle and overcoming doubt.

AD:KEY also welcome two legendary EBM voices: Martin Bodewell (ORANGE SECTOR) lends lyrics and vocals to the emotional “Mein Herz”, while Uwe Kanka (ARMAGEDDON DILDOS) adds his trademark power to the infectious single “Fühl Den Beat” – a tribute to shared roots and long-standing friendships.

This new EP blends strong beats, emotional depth, and scene solidarity. Catchy, direct, and full of body music power, it is another strong step forward in AD:KEY’s ongoing evolution.

With “Kontraktion”, AD:KEY once again prove their ability to blend old-school body music with synth pop elements and emotional storytelling, while surrounding themselves with the very artists who helped shape the scene.

Feel the beat. Hear the heart.

“Kontraktion” is here.

This EP takes “Deine Augen” to new heights with a completely re-recorded single version that amplifies its electro-synth dimension, while the extended album mix stays true to its EBM-fueled future pop roots. The journey doesn’t stop there – the hauntingly atmospheric “Epilog” reinterpretation adds a mesmerizing, echo-laden finish to the experience.

AD:KEY also invites their friends into the mix to further reimagine “Deine Augen”: Dee Jay Pari turns up the heat with a floor-filling tech-house rendition, VILLABORGHESE tears it apart with a surreal, deconstructed Dadaist take, TRILOGY cranks the intensity with a pounding industrial-dance rework and ANTIAGE delivers a bold synth-rock transformation.

As a fiery bonus, the B-side “I Take You” pays homage to EBM classics, channeling the energy of legends like AND ONE, NITZER EBB, and FRONT 242.

AD:KEY is a masterful fusion of soulful body music with a feminine touch, where the interplay of male and female vocals creates an addictive tension. Their high-energy synth pop punches hard with old-school EBM basslines, shimmering melodies, and unforgettable hooks.

This EP is a sensual, electrifying celebration of love, harmony, and relentless beats. AD:KEY proves once again that their music isn’t just made for listening – it’s made for feeling.

Press play, turn it up, and let yourself be swept away by “Deine Augen”!

In “Nackt,” the lovebirds of AD:KEY invite you to journey through the depths of intimacy and desire, weaving a narrative that dances between the lines of passion and connection. Their music pulsates with raw energy, drawing you into a world where every glance, every touch, ignites a spark of instant affinity and profound symbiosis.

With their signature blend of male and female vocals, AD:KEY infuses “Nackt” with a dynamic rhythm that echoes the classic basslines of EBM pioneers like NITZER EBB, while intertwining melodic synth hooks reminiscent of the likes of AND ONE and ORANGE SECTOR. And on the B-side, immerse yourself in the dark allure of the “drama mix” of “Deine Augen,” a haunting journey into shadowy depths.

This is more than just music; it’s a visceral experience, a celebration of the body and soul. AD:KEY invites you to lose yourself in the intoxicating rhythm of “Nackt” – this is body-pop at its finest.

Constructed on strong old-school EBM basslines and lead by catchy synth melodies and addictive choruses underlined by their characteristic male/female vocal duality, “Two Souls” stands between FRONT 242 and AND ONE and is the first new song announcing a more than promising forthcoming album “0609” by the Berlin-based duo of Andrea and Rene Nowotny. This body-pop pearl gets revisited by guest remixers in the likes of Martin Bodewell (ORANGE SECTOR), LETHAL30 aka CITRIC ACID and Andreas Schubert (FULL CONTACT69).

As B-side “Alles Bewegt Sich” is a darker and more low-tempo song putting Andrea in the spotlight with her unique blend of powerful and sensual German vocals. This cut also got remixed by drum n bass techouse Dee Jay Pari from Hamburg – Germany.

A very strong new EP proving once again how the beautiful Nowotny couple lead their project with one mind and slam their two bodies on the dancefloor to make you shake your body & soul!

The melodic side of the title song was beautifully reinforced by FINAL SELECTION who gave it a calmer and more melancholic touch, while label mates IMPLANT focused on the highly danceable potential of this club hit. AD:KEY themselves also sign here with three alternative versions of “Alles Was Ich Will” for your ultimate pleasure on the dancefloor, plus a slow and heavy remake of “Schlachfeld Der Liebe”.

An absolute must for fans of AND ONE…

But AD:KEY surprise us here once more by adding a second A-side to this EP with the exclusive non-album track “Can You Hear Me”. A very solid Electronic Body Music cut lead by heavy stomping beats, and fat ripping bass lines that make us want to march behind Andrea in her loud revolting assault to get her voice heard. The “reconstructed”’ mix of this song gives it a more old-school EBM dimension evoking DAF sequences and NITZER EBB bass-lines…

“YES!” AD:KEY: we can hear you and we can feel you!! Keep the machines pumping!

A new single that will quickly find its way to the dancefloors and will touch your heart with its questioning about how to go on with life after the loss of a loved one when sadness and painful memories set in.

AD:KEY enjoyed toying with both songs and here deliver 3 additional and radically different versions of both songs while German electro wave ALPHAMAY and Peruvian EBM heroes, MONÖCHROME both contributed with an alternative remix of “Herz Lass Loss”.

An EP to welcome with an open heart when you enjoy the tunes of AND ONE, :WELLE:ERDBALL, FRONT 242 or yet NITZER EBB…

Besides these very characteristic elements which all contributed, release after release, to the amazing ascension of AD:KEY’s trademark on the underground electro scene, the symbiotic duo of Andrea and Rene Nowotny take us one step further, revealing the production and songwriting maturity they have once again gained since the release of “Reanimator” in November 2017. They intelligently play with minimal analogue synth melodies to reinforce the melodic side of their work, fuse them with hi-energy sequences and top them off with meticulously arranged rhythm patterns which come and reinforce their murderous basslines, while the vocals also gain in both force and diversity, remaining straight and powerful, but being also backed by more spoken, sensual or whispered parts, or even vocoded words… 

On this new album, the AD:KEY couple also dare to bring us on to the dangerous battlefield of “love” shamelessly disclosing their inner feelings made of love, pain and disappointments, while always keeping some “tongue in cheek” lyrics here and there to avoid becoming too serious…

“Resonanz” reveals to us that AD:KEY at the top of their form, playing hard-hitting classic EBM songs at best evoking the pioneers of the genre in the likes of NITZER EBB or DIE KRUPPS reaching peaks on “Der Letzte Tanz” or the addictive “Ich Will, Dass Du Jetzt Gehst” (is it MISS KITTEN playing DAF?), but also more melodic body pop tunes à la AND ONE meets BIGOD 20 (“Herz Lass Los”, “This Is Not The Time”, “You Can’t Fuck Me”…) while being daring with some more experimental compositions with the slower vocoded “Schlachtfeld Der Liebe”, the minimal and poingnant “Du Und Ich”, the lingering atmospheric “I Stay” or yet the DEPECHE MODEsque “Nur Der Mond”. 

“Resonanz” is bound to be the German body-pop album of the year!  Enjoy AD:KEY’s electronic body music with an additive melodic edge and dominating lush fronting female vox.  To love and abuse without moderation. 

The first edition of this album is available as a limited double-CD deluxe digipak with 12 bonus tracks including alternative versions made by AD:KEY themselves, plus impressive and unexpected hi-energy collaborations with SCHRAMM, STERIL, ARMAGEDDON DILDOS and ROSSI BM.
