Capitalising on the astounding dancefloor success of their 4th studio album “Introspection / Extrospection”, with which the Belgian duo PSY’AVIAH managed to break all scene frontiers, Yves Schelpe and Emélie are about to expand their club invasion with this 13-track EP showcasing the unmatchable catchy electro-wave pop song “Ok” and the darker and more virulent upbeat “Virtual Gods”.
A 100% pure dancefloor/DJ oriented EP featuring progressive trance mixes by M.I.K.E. (PUSH, PLASTIC BOY) and JAN VERVLOET (FIOCCO, SCOOP). Add to this the Breakbeat/Dubstep power by MASAMUNE and NUDE, the progressive electro by RADICAL G or yet the subtle electro-bleep pleasure by Belgium’s new “KRAFTWERKian” sensation METROLAND or yet the atmospheric rework by Ghost of GHOST & WRITER.
With this EP release PSY’AVIAH decided to give DJ’s the freedom opportunity to be fully creative when doing their own mixes of these 2 songs, this by delivering them the extended versions to cater for beat-mixing, and releasing the dub-versions of the remixes. PSY’AVIAH even went that far to add acapella versions of both original tracks, for the ultimate mix & matching delight of every true DJ…
Modern and fresh, these 2 songs also benefit from a video clip release support. This is electronic music with the Belgian seal of quality.

Either as UNTER NULL or STRAY, American artist Erica Dunham always stays faithful to the “quality over quantity” motto. She always takes a great deal of pride, attention, care, and patience in her work, never leaving any detail incomplete. 4 years already after the release of the debut album “Abuse By Proxy”, it’s time for STRAY to let it all go…
“Letting Go” is a lot darker in content, confirming to us that STRAY was neither meant to be a ‘light’ project, nor was it meant to be ‘happy’ because Erica’s main band UNTER NULL is actually quite angry and pissed off. STRAY kind of reflects the feelings of despair and sadness when that anger wears off. This album is actually a great departure from any of her previous works, it’s a lot more polished and full of layered and lush-sounding tracks. Emotional piano tunes echo with melodic electronic sequences and get accelerated by pulsing beats and vibrating bass lines led by Erica’s half-sung half-spoken poignant vocals. The material is melancholy, bittersweet, and a lot of yearning, needing, wanting, and desiring is involved. It’s about feeling disconnected from the rest of the world, from society, from your peers, from your friends, your loved ones, and your family. A track like “Out of Place” kind of sums up that feeling quite well in so many words. Other tracks, such as “No Vacancy”, “Let Me Go”, are sincere with the idea of not understanding peoples’ actions and words, and feeling frustrated without necessary closure.
We will also notice the exciting remake of UNTER NULL’s “Failure Epiphany” or yet an open reinterpretation of The Flashbulb’s “Passage D”… The album is also available as a deluxe 2CD carton box with a bonus disc including 3 exclusive bonus tracks and remixes by Marc Hurtado / SOL IXENT, KANT KINO, GRENDEL, IVARDENSPHERE, METROLAND, INTERFACE, AESTHETISCHE, KEEF BAKER, MARI CHROME, etc.
Next to this, online orders at www.alfa-matrix.com get the “Holding On” (carton sleeve) bonus album as an extra. This 3rd disc is limited to 99 copies.
