Named after the Ancient Greek Goddess of the Night, “Nyx” is the stunning new digital-only release by cult dark elektro / industrial duo SIVA SIX! Born from Chaos, a shadowy figure, Nyx stood at the beginning of creation and mothered other personified deities such as Hypnos (Sleep) and Thanatos (Death). Nyx was a character of such exceptional power and beauty that even Zeus feared her!
This time “Nyx” brings us one step further into the apocalyptic concept of SIVA SIX’s last studio album “Dawn Of Days”. Some 17 unique artists reinterpret SIVA SIX’s apocalyptic visions. Each respective remixer had to fight with their own monsters and chose their own paths… Where does one head to after facing his own self? How do people deal with the apocalypse of the spiritual world? And what will be the next steps? Beware of the Night that may come next and reveal all the truth, the burden is hard, and never forget that you are not alone in this life-trip… Some paths are lead by Death and other delusions that the Night is full of, others are guided towards the light… But who will be mesmerized by the ultimate beauty and the explosive power that draw you into eternal sleep?
Let the story begins, featuring the dark industrial metal monster-minds FREAKANGEL, the Mexican dancefloor heroes C-LEKKTOR, the infamous techno DJ and renown producer Christian Cambas, the premium French harsh industrial band A-7IE, Belgium’s METROLAND and their unique nostalgic 80’s sound, other American label-mates VENAL FLESH and their edgy dark sound, the astonishing technoir / retro wave remix of CYBORGDRIVE, TECHNOLORGY and their great electro / synth dance floor remix, Greek surrealistic musician Anna Stereopoulou and her chaotic remix, the top notch remix by THE DEAD FOR A WHILE, Dutch WOLFCHILD and their nightmarish dark elektro style, the powerful German TBM newcomer ANTIBODY, guitarist Jimmy Tott for a sentimental analogue post/rock epic remix, Sakis Darkface with his cinematic masterpiece remix, Berlin based UNHUMAN and his ritual techno, IN MISERY’s brilliant hypnotising dark electro chant and last but not least, as final bonus track, ANAKIN LIGHTNING remixes one of SIVA SIX’s most unique tracks “Nemesis” from the previous “Superstition” EP a track no one until now had dared to remix…
Nyx has now definitely taken control of the noir dancefloors until eternity.
With the 7th edition of their now classic FREE “Matrix Downloaded” label digital compilation, Belgium’s ALFA MATRIX label prepared once more the perfect eclectic alternative music soundtrack for your end of year Season Holiday.

Controversy. Sex. Fun. Darkness: not many bands manage to polarize their listeners quite like JUNKSISTA… and they are about to do it again with their most accomplished studio album so far: “Promiscuous Tendencies” – the gripping next chapter after 2014’s “High Voltage Confessions”. 12 brand new songs like 12 thrilling love affairs, waiting to be explored.
JUNKSISTA seduces us with an incredible range of musical styles and the trademark twinkly eyed humour, that has been driving quite some music journalists nuts. Too silly to be meaningful? Too sexy to be significant, too mainstream for the underground? What the F*** is this?
Again, Diana S. and Boog haven’t exactly been faithful to just one musical genre. On “Promiscuous Tendencies” you will find bitching club anthems, melancholic electro-pop songs, funky electro tunes and even a hypnotic ballad. All these songs have two things in common: authenticity and an immaculate production that will tempt you to determine the performance limit of your stereo!
This extraordinary record is being refined by a number of well-known artists, JUNKSISTA collaborated with. Amongst them LayZee (Mr. President), the international Eurodance superstar of the 90s, best known for the hit single Coco Jamboo. Noemie Aurora (Helalyn Flowers), Emke (Black Nail Cabaret) and Erlend Eilersten (Essence Of Mind) also joined this ride and threw in some brilliant vocals.
“Promiscuous Tendencies” comes as a stylish 2-CD deluxe digipack that includes 12 remixes (XMH, KANT KINO, PSY’AVIAH, METROLAND, NERD REVOLT, TECHNOLORGY,…) and some beautiful artwork.
“Promiscuous Tendencies” – it will make you explore the dance floor, the dark places in your heart and the wet ones in your pants. Are you ready?

With the 6th edition of the now classic FREE “Matrix Downloaded” label digital compilation, Belgium’s ALFA MATRIX label prepared the perfect eclectic alternative music soundtrack for your end of year Season Holiday.
Again a prefect pre-X-Mas present for all of us with a selection of 45 songs nicely representing the label’s most recent singles and albums while giving a preview of some promising forthcoming 2017 productions including new releases by ALIEN VAMPIRES, POUPPEE FABRIKK, METROLAND, THE PSYCHIC FORCE, KANT KINO, MONDTRÄUME, NEIKKA RPM, AIBOFORCEN, SIN.SIN, ELEKTROKLÄNGE, LLUMEN, DIFFUZION, COSMIC ARMCHAIR, etc. as well as from the label’s recent recruits the unique German EBM duo AD:KEY and IMJUDAS (the new synthwave pop-rock project of HELALYN FLOWERS’ Maxx).
A 200 minute-plus compilation that reflects the label’s music repertoire and impressive artist roster in the full-force of its diversity also reminding us that ALFA MATRIX is one of the very few indie electro labels who still dare to scout new talents and to inject new blood into the scene while others would definitely choose to sleep on their laurels while focusing on their sure values of established bands.
Absolutely the perfect way for ALFA MATRIX to close their 15th year of existence – some 15 years of non-stop heavy sonic propaganda on the underground electronic music front with their impressive army of artists! The ultimate collection of scene famous and established artists featured next to rising new talents and stunning new discoveries… Since 2001, ALFA MATRIX has been offering to you electronic music with attitude… EBM, synth pop, industrial, electronic, indie rock, nu electro, dark elektro, avant-garde, goth metal, wave, techno house: you get it all!

With “recovery >for you<”, the Alfa Matrix label is closing this double-celebration year 2016 in beauty. For its 15th anniversary, the Belgian record label also celebrated in many ways the 35 years of existence of FRONT 242.
Pioneers… Artists who reached such an elite level. FRONT 242 have always had a vision of the future. For the last 35 years, they have showed us what could be possible with gear, human imagination, creativity, working to bend instruments far away from of their intended purpose. Since day one, FRONT 242 have always been employing the use of the most current technology available to keep their music fresh, groundbreaking and up to date, non-stop pushing their sound to its logical extreme. Their unique signature sound turned the group into a major driving force of electronic music for the many years to follow. What would electronic industrial music be without FRONT 242? Is it fair to say that many modern electro bands have a little FRONT 242 DNA? Are we all descendants?
With the most upmost respect, the Alfa Matrix label family decided to close this birthday year in beauty by paying homage to this living legend. 32 label bands each covering one song from FRONT 242’s impressive music repertoire, an influential work of pioneering electronic mastery on which creativity has steadily and genuinely been abound. Picking songs from the full discography of the band, from “Geography” to “Pulse”, we can only attest how ear-challenging the band’s work has always been, constantly offering to us an inspiring look to the future of electronic music.
“recovery >for you<” is an exclusive tribute collection of 32 songs reflecting the Alfa Matrix band roster’s high diversity. Besides solid remakes by other pure EBM heroes like ARMAGEDDON DILDOS, PLASTIC NOISE EXPERIENCE, ELM, KANT KINO or yet the label’s new signing AD:KEY, we also see the harsher dark elektro clan attacking the F242 repertoire with figures like ALIEN VAMPIRES, CIRCUITO CERRADO vs. C-LEKKTOR, VENAL FLESH, ACYLUM, AVARICE IN AUDIO and TOTEM OBSCURA. Other female fronted acts like HELALYN FLOWERS and SIN.SIN both bring more tortured electric moments just like Norway’s ESSENCE OF MIND. From the minimal percolating bleeps of electronic acts like METROLAND, NÖVÖ or yet ELEKTROKLÄNGE to the more upbeat industrial techno dance tunes of KOMOR KOMMANDO, AYRIA, IMPLANT, NEIKKA RPM, XMH, AESTHETISCHE or yet the dance pop of Singapore duo COSMIC ARMCHAIR. Besides lush noir synth pop reworks by TECHNOIR, DIFFUZION, REGENERATOR and IMJUDAS (the impressive new project of Maxx from HELALYN FLOWERS), and icy modern elektro covers by THE PSYCHIC FORCE and other LLUMEN, while SAR INDUSTRY and SCHWARZBLUT add a more gothic oriented touch to the compilation.
Simply join the rhythm and enjoy these cover versions giving an all new sonic and emotional dimension to these FRONT 242 classic tunes including amongst others “Headhunter”, “Happiness”, “Lovely Day”, “U-men”, “Commando Mix”, “Masterhit”, “No Shuffle”, “Tragedy for You”, “Take One”, “Funkhadafi”, “Moldavia”, “Operating Tracks”, “Don’t Crash”, “Body To Body”, “Welcome To Paradise”, and many more! Listen carefully…
Happy birthday to FRONT 242! Let us celebrate these anniversary moments together…
ELEKTROKLÄNGE is a Swedish minimalistic electro pop act based in Stockholm. The band’s signature sound combines repetitive rhythms with simple catchy melodies. The instrumentation is minimalistic and strictly electronic while all the lyrics are sung through vocoders and/or generated by speech synthesis.
ELEKTROKLÄNGE makes strictly non-improvised and meticulously programmed synth pop music. While remaining true to the “Düsseldorf sound”, ELEKTROKLÄNGE adds and develops the sound in sometimes unexpected directions and occasionally employs the piano which often brought the project to be described as a “more emotionally-charged version of KRAFTWERK”…
After several highly praised compilation appearances, the “Mechanische Tänze Nos. 1-4” EP is the band’s first release on the Belgian Alfa Matrix label who already brought us bands active in a similar electronic register like METROLAND, NÖVÖ, Sebastian Komor as well as early FRONT 242 material.
Opening with a homage to the Hungarian painter/designer Vilmos Huszár (one of the founders of the art movement De Stijl) who directly influenced the cover-art of this release, the “mechanical dance” gets deconstructed in 4 stunning “tanz acts” (in 4 different languages: German, English, French & Japanese), all again strongly influenced by Huszár’s “simultaneistic-mechanical dance” at Dada-soirée, held in Amsterdam on 19th January 1923.
This conceptual EP ends with an amazing extended ”Trudering Klang” mix of “Mekanischer Tanz”, preceded by another strong carrying “straight connection mix” of the now already popular song “Approach To Tokyo” which was originally written to celebrate the Shinkansen’s 50th anniversary (Japan’s famous high-speed railway network): a highly melodic electronic sound journey from Osaka to Tokyo…
