Place this provocative and arrogant slogan in the context of the highly frustrating Covid19 lockdown situation and the duo’s difficult and extended physical separation of over 7000 km across the Atlantic ocean, and give it a kind of futuristic dystopic flavour à la Cyberpunk 2077, and you get this stunning new club hit by DIFFUZION on which Fof merges harsh distorted noise, technoid grooves, melodic synths and Xev’s filtered possessed vocals!

With the clear determination to invade the underground club scene, DIFFUZION carefully selected artists who were each able to give a totally new dimension to this unique song through their own sonic kaleidoscope. From the old school EBM take of FIRST AID 4 SOULS to the slow and oppressive dark elektro of ACYLUM vs. AENGELDUST, through CUBIC’s twisted dancefloor take evoking dirty tonalities à la PRODIGY, the noir and groovy industrial drum’n beat of NEIKKA RPM, the icy electro dance remix by AESTHETISCHE or the claustrophobic and suffocating minimal techno of MATTHEW CREED.

The lush and upbeat remix of “The Blessed” by AESTHETISCHE nicely serves as melodic intermezzo reminding us of the more catchy and sensual techno pop side of DIFFUZION.

Play it loud and let DIFFUZION’s spell fuck with your brain!

Taken from the band’s forthcoming 3rd full length album ”Still Believe” reveals a more modern high-tech break-beat sound approach while reinforcing its icy elektro blast giving a very interesting twist to DIFFUZION’s dancey cold synth pop music. On these 3 new songs, DIFFUZION enjoyed toying with vocoder fx on Xev’s sensual catchy voice to reinforce the frozen sensation of these vibrating techno-pop tunes with an edge. 

The EP then takes a more club frontal assault with AESTETISCHE’s massive “Coldmix” of “Still Believe”, immediately followed by an angry stomping dark EBM “Powermix” of “The Blessed” signed by DIFFUZION themselves reminding us of the harshest side of the band while MLADA FRONTA energize the dance floor appeal with their hypnotizing industrial dance remake of “Cycle”. Last but not least, we also get two radically different remixes of the EP title song by eclectic label mates IMPLANT and Mister Jean-Marc Lederman (THE WEATHERMEN, etc.) and his unique unpredictable sound/voice manipulations… 

Last but not least, let’s note the contribution of talented Belarusian graphic designer Gleb Zhurov for the modern EP cover artwork (www.behance.net/glebzhurov).

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.

Alternating straight and harder industrial moments (“C.S.”, “Pure Venom” or “DbD”) and more embracing mid-tempo darkwave textures (“Lace Of Veins”, “The One” or yet the album title track), “Winter Cities” will surprise you with its unique mixture of frozen electronic tones and haunting catchy vocals. Take the upfront dance-power of body music, spice it with the revolting sexiness of AYRIA, the catchiness of DE/VISION and the impulsive anger of PZYCHOBITCH the whole melt in the intricate arrangements of FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY, and you get an exploding cocktail we might call DIFFUZION.

You also are treated to 2 bonus versions of the club hit “C.S.” respectively rendered by the Swedish tough guys of AUTODAFEH with their faultless pumping bass-lines and by label-mate ACYLUM with their sinister bombastic dark elektro assaults.

This limited carton box edition of “Winter Cities” also contains a bonus-CD with a great variety of remixes, that include the intelligent inspiring electro and EBM cuts by such bands as CONTROLLED COLLAPSE, MORTAL VOID, IMPLANT, [DE:AD:CIBEL], EFF DST, IN[TOXIN], a sophisticated, harmonic industrial track of FABIOUS CORPUS ACT , an uplifting future pop remix by their Belgium colleagues PSY’AVIAH, a dark-ebm tune by CYGNOSIC, and a mysterious and deep remix by L’OMBRE. Add to this cover version of DEPECHE MODE and a cover by TILL IT BLEEDS, plus an enchanting collaboration with INXERA SYNDROME.
