Going strong off his productive musical career on the electronic scene METROLAND’s Passenger S decided to embark on a refreshing challenge by setting up his own conceptual solo-project under the 808 DOT POP moniker. Emerging from an uncontrollable burning passion for vintage sounds, and acknowledging inspiration from acts in the likes of ORBITAL, KOMPUTER or the unmatched technological pioneers of KRAFTWERK, 808 DOT POP will guide the listener on an electronic trip coloured by authentic warm sequences, melodic synthetic layers and robotic vocals, the whole project spiced up with analogue drums with a clear wink to a legendary drum machine…
808 DOT POP’s debut album “The Colour Temperature” is an aural blend of the best ingredients of many decades of electronic music and a vibrant sonic world. From the majestic first single “Blackbodies” featuring guest vocals by Noemi Aurora (HELALYN FLOWERS) to the edged bass sequences of the up-tempo “Thermal Contact” or the polished bubbly pop tones of “Incandescent”, it becomes quite obvious that each very electronic sound on this album was meticulously selected with care to fit and deliver the right atmosphere. On “The Colour Temperature” Passenger S does not hesitate showcasing his trademark shammy soft sequencing that can be best experienced in songs like “The Tungsten Filament” or “Ultraviolet”, while “Illuminants“ and “Thermodynamica” unveil his more sinister creative side but still keeping the finger on the right electronic pulse.
More than just another 12-track album, “The Colour Temperature” houses a full package of conceptual creativity where music and vision neatly melt together around a well-considered central theme: glorifying trivial elements from our daily surroundings by taking them under the particular loop of 808 DOT POP and giving them another interpretation through uplifting synth sequences and warm melodic tunes. This is luminous ear candy.
With this 12-track remix EP, PSY’AVIAH showcases their unique and highly addictive electro pop song “Hold On” (taken from the “Soul Searching” album) and reveals it in multiple sonic flavours ranging from progressive (psy)trance (UNTERBERG, BRONZI) to modern techno pop (METROLAND, ROB DUST) through harder electro goth (CYBORGDRIVE). An enjoyable release for music lovers and an exciting creative garden for the DJ’s thanks to the various 7” short, 12” long and other dub versions.
“Hold On” is also, and above all, the result of a fruitful and collaborative effort between Belgian artist Yves Schelpe and the highly emotional and expressive voice of Mark Bebb better known for his own projects SHELTER and FORM.
This moving song was also influenced by the poignant bond between Matilda and Léon in the unmatched movie “Léon”, reason why PSY’AVIAH decided to pay a homage to this beautiful and inspiring movie…
Bandcamp fans will enjoy the exclusive bonus booklet for this EP release with lyrics, credits & more

One of Belgium’s finest electronica trademarks over the last decade, Antwerp-based PSY’AVIAH aka Yves Schelpe returns with “Soul Searching”, by far his best album concept ever for a unique experience in sound, story-telling and emotions…
Through some 12 brand new songs, PSY’AVIAH transports us to the most remote unexplored places of his dreamscapes. A virtual otherworld where we can enter a state of mind allowing us to question our nostalgic or depressive thoughts, our insomniac behavior, our self-centered existence, humanity as a whole… Some kind of meditative trance triggered by pulsating electronic sequences, wrapped by highly melodic synth melodies, augmented by a wide palette of ethnic instruments facilitating the exotic traveling experience and topped by bewitching blissful male and female vocals reinforcing the hypnotic sensation.
Personal stories told with passion and interpreted by highly skilled singers in the likes of Mari Kattman, Kyoko Baertsoen (ex-HOOVERPHONIC & LUNASCAPE), Lis van den Akker, Ellia Bisker, Addie Nicole, Saydi Driggers, Alicia May, Roeland van der Velde, Marieke Lightband, Mark Bebb as well as psychiatrist Prof Dr. Dirk De Wachter speaking on the intro track “Becoming Human”. Poignant lyrics we can easily relate to and which evoke intimate moments of the listener or awake personal demons.
As always, PSY’AVIAH knows no boundaries and crafts music ranging from atmospheric floating ethereal songs to harder pumping industrial/EBM tracks through sensual trip hop, nostalgic synthwave and other catchy dance pop tunes. It’s electronic music without limits for your ultimate pleasure!
May this reflective soul-searching experience help you find your way in this tormented world!
A must for all fans of DELERIUM, AVICII, MASSIVE ATTACK, THE CHAINSMOKERS or DEPECHE MODE.
Faithful supporters of the band will enjoy this limited edition of “Soul Searching” and its 16-track bonus CD presenting carefully selected upbeat dancefloor oriented versions of album songs that will guide us to tomorrow land and further thanks to successful collaborations with artists like METROLAND, KGPROJECT, PEOPLE THEATRE, J. WOLF, STUDIO-X, SD-KRTR, 11GRAMS and so many more.
This wonderful song is one of the most favourite songs from the last “Nyctophilia” album, and when playing it, it instantly becomes quite obvious why nobody could resist to its addictive fast-sequenced electro dance grooves and its highly catchy sensual female pop vox clashing onto powerful electric guitar riffs.
On this new “Tetrachromatic” EP, the HELALYN FLOWERS duo push the limits of the chromatic game to the next level by assigning the ambitious task to each involved remixer to not only reinterpret this song through their very own sonic kaleidoscope, but also by incorporating an emotional colour filter to their version. This spieling creative approach opens extra-channels for each collaboration for our ultimate ear pleasure.
This new release pulses like a colourful journey through different spiritual universes each represented by a colour. METROLAND and AESTHETISCHE took the blue filter, incorporating a melancholic and mysterious touch to their upbeat icy synth dance. AIBOFORCEN and MENTAL EXILE went green incorporating the two faces of nature into their work making their remix sound firm and steady but also raging and unsafe! While JUNKSISTA and SYNAPSYCHE took the red pill and toyed with passion and aggressiveness, blowing an intense and threatening and even sometimes sexual feel to the song. After which HELALYN FLOWERS themselves generated other alternate versions of “Tetrachromatic” including a yellow mix offering a light and almost dreamy flavor to this song…
A delightful conceptual EP injecting 80’s new wave colours into HELALYN FLOWERS’ surrealistic nocturnal world.
The Bandcamp version includes an exclusive extended 18-page booklet design with conceptual band photos & design by Toxic Visions.
It was back in 2009 when some Alfa Matrix artists came up with the crazy challenge of paying a collective homage to the unique and mighty DEPECHE MODE. That very band that has been a reference and influence for many of us, let it be for their matchless synth melodies, their carrying song arrangements, their inspiring lyrics or yet their so poignant dark touch.

Compiled by and for DEPECHE MODE fans, “Alfa Matrix Re:covered – a tribute to Depeche Mode vol.3” will offer you once more a very own insight in what makes the DEPECHE MODE songs so special.

Devoted Electronic Body Music followers will surely instantly identify who is hiding behind this new band project: DIE ROBO SAPIENS!
Ladies and gentlemen, Alfa Matrix is proud to present to you today the first EP by the new ultimate EBM project by the members of one of the cult electro industrial music pioneers of all times next to KRAFTWERK and EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN: DIE KRUPPS’ very own Jürgen Engler, Ralf Dörper and Marcel Zürcher.
Collaborating with the exceptional U.S. Electro artist JG and the ROBOTS, who also directed and can be seen in the DIE KRUPPS Video “Robo Sapien”, “Tanz Mit Dem Roboter” is a direct wink to the Düsseldorf synth origins of the band, intelligently reworked by label mates RETRO SCANNER, the unique Belgian vintage synth duo METROLAND and the uprising Swedish minimal electro pop talent of ELEKTROKLÄNGE.
The outstanding track “Teufelskreis” reveals the harder, stronger and angrier EBM side of DIE ROBO SAPIENS, with its fat and ripping basslines, powerful German vocals and upbeat synth sequences. This new instant club hit gets remixed here by two other prominent figures from the EBM scene and Alfa Matrix label mates ARMAGEDDON DILDOS and Sebastian Komor (KOMOR KOMMANDO, ICON OF COIL…).
A stunning hi-energy kick-ass 7-track EP giving a promising foretaste of the band’s forthcoming album “Robo Sapien Race” presenting a conceptual background about the dehumanization and technological dependency of mankind… without it you are nothing… so conform or revolt!
T.A.N.Z… T.A.N.Z… Tanz mit DIE ROBO SAPIENS! Volle EBM Kraft Voraus!
