Across 12 new hard hitting Industrial N’ Beats tracks, NEIKKA RPM write the goth industrial techno soundtrack that plunges us back to their origins when underground club night in New York City felt like the everything, when the night never ended and all senses were ignited. Clubbing was a prominent way of life, a sort of obsession including the intoxicating hangover it can produce… NEIKKA RPM captures the dark scene’s ultimate club night feel with its sexual wildness, its messy world of drama, madness and excess, its glamouring parade of less-than-clothed girls cage-dancing under dizzying strobelights, to earth-shaking basslines and toxic noise beats, lead by the impressive complex force of compelling artists who each contributed to building the unique unpolished and distorted sounds of a devious era.

“”Scorpion In The Hourglass” is a special gift to excite your inner beast, the demon that keeps you awake, the obsession and all its cravings…” whispers Dominique with a mesmerising bewitching tone.

This is oppressive sinister techno elektro with addictive melodies, hypnotising beats and sultry bewitching female vocals. Embrace the sonic indulgence of NEIKKA RPM, enjoy the taste of sweet submission!

As special bonus for their hardcore fanbase, the physical CD edition of this album includes the previously released digital-only 5-track EP “Battle Scars” including remixes by XOTOX, CUT_OFF SKY and M.O.D.

A flash of light? A burst of pain? From out the gray mist, she appears before you: the New-York-based enigmatic Alfa Matrix act and serial-sound-killer NEIKKA RPM is back!! With her lush and loud new 5-track EP, she stands there with open arms… With eyes that invite and lips that tempt. You awake in a daze, confused wandering across this battlefield of lust with the open wound of the scorpion’s sting still burning your flesh… Is she your savior or your master? You search your soul for the answer as her storm of relentless industrial grooves and distorted break beats ravage your body! She holds you to the floor and destroys your ego with her hard-hitting sinister techno elektro. And with her sultry bewitching voice she cuts you deep to the bone! NEIKKA RPM gives you “Battle Scars” and pushes you off the ledge into the sinister abyss of her “Deep Dive”. 

Addictive and disturbing, the title song gets reworked by the dark modern elektro genius CUT_OFF SKY, and the hard industrial groove masters XOTOX, while “Deep Dive” gets a ripping upbeat treatment with additional guest vocals by the Italian cyber goth ravers M.O.D. 

The industrial’n beat she-devil is back to haunt your club nights with whiplash sex appeal and attitude…

Today the Alfa Matrix label roster is paying homage to this great and unique band: THE CURE, choosing classic radio hits but also songs that are less known to the public-at-large but which deserve even more to be heard again, showing that the songs written by Robert Smith and current/ex-members also lend themselves to different music style treatments… All electronic music genres have their very own ambassadors on this 31-track double CD compilation from electro dance to pop rock through dark elektro and modern EBM. Compiled by and for THE CURE fans, “A Strange Play – a tribute to The Cure” will offer you astounding interpretations of classic hits like “A Forest” (MARI CHROME), “Just Like Heaven” (LOVELORN DOLLS), “Charlotte Sometimes” (KANT KINO), “Lullaby” (CYNICAL EXISTENCE), “The Walk” (STAR INDUSTRY), “The Lovecats” (JUNKSISTA), “Fascination Street” (ZOMBIE GIRL), “Lovesong” (SEBASTIAN KOMOR), “Close To Me” (METROLAND), “Pictures Of You” (DIFFUZION), “Why Can’t I Be You” (PLASTIC NOISE EXPERIENCE), etc. But some Alfa Matrix bands also dug deeper within THE CURE’s huge discography and vast repertoire of songs, covering tracks like “In Your House” (ALIEN VAMPIRES), “Jumping Someone Else’s Train” (KANT KINO), “Cold” (TOTEM OBSCURA), “The Drowning Man” (TECHNOIR), “A Strange Day” (AIBOFORCEN), Lament (MONDTRÄUME), “The Figurehead” (SCHWARTZBLUT), “A Night Like This” (XMH), “The Baby Screams” (ARMAGEDDON DILDOS), “Fight” (I:SCINTILLA), “Anniversary” (AESTHETISCHE), “Burn” (HELALYN FLOWERS & ESSENCE OF MIND), “Friday I’m In Love” (COSMIC ARMCHAIR), “Prayers For Rain” (HALO IN REVERSE & REGENERATOR), “Disintegration” (AVARICE IN AUDIO), “Trust” (ACYLUM), “All Cats Are Grey” (AIBOFORCEN), or yet “Sleep When I’m Dead” (NEIKKA RPM). 

THE CURE was, is, and will continue to be a major influence and reference, conscious or not, for many underground artists and music lovers. We hope that together with us you will rediscover THE CURE in a way you didn’t expect, cruising through their vast catalogue in different soundscapes but always remaining faithful to the band’s darker sound.

“Chain Letters” is a concise collection of dark grooves and bangers all firing from the depths of the subconscious. It’s not just beats grooves, “Chain Letters” is complex with Dominique’s slinky vocals that seduce the soul while deep bass-lines and tricked-out acid track hooks that rip through the entire album. Male vocals penetrate the inner works as well, deep and diabolic, the inner-voice that torments. “Chain Letters” holds true to the unique sound of NEIKKA RPM, which can be compared to an explosive mix of FRONT 242 bass-vibes with technoid upbeat assaults, while Dominique’s bewitching voice lurks the shadows and infiltrates the body, soul and mind of all that dare to cross her path. You have entered her domain, a psychic-warzone, but it is a battle that you have already lost… you fall to your knees at her feet, you beg for mercy… and then you ask her for more. And she gives you… a killer upgraded version of her mega-hit “Here’s Your Revolution”. Simply uplifting!

This limited edition box includes the bonus disc “Deceive & Destroy” with alternative versions of 3 songs and the remix work by artists: DJ Blackout, Memmaker, Firemensch, EX.ES, Red Industrie, Syndika Zero and DCTB. If there is one thing NEIKKA RPM brings to the scene it is sex appeal and mystery that storms the front like a sonic cyclone.
