Built from the diverse elements that have shaped CUBIC’s sound over the years, “Elements” brings together 80s electro, 90s techno à la R&S Records, acid and dub techno, with a nod to more contemporary electronic acts such as BICEP and MODESELEKTOR.

From the driving pulse of “Future Past” to the Detroit and Chicago-inspired variations of “BangBang”, the EP pushes CUBIC into a more energetic and dancefloor-oriented direction. Yet beneath the techno dynamics, those characteristic minimal sequences, vintage electronics and hypnotic patterns remain firmly in place.

It feels like a journey back to the future: classic electronic ingredients, reassembled through a modern techno lens. CUBIC evolves without ever losing its identity.

The title track is a dark, seductive and highly danceable exercise in tension, driven by an unusual 3/4 rhythm. Its evolving electronic layers and shifting pulse create an unsettling atmosphere where lyrics about control, cruelty and forced submission take centre stage. Seductive yet threatening, the song turns pain and power into a twisted performance. Catchy and unsettling, it shows IMPLANT at its most provocative and club-ready.

But this is no ordinary single. The extended 8-track EP offers a substantial preview of the new album while adding several exclusive treats. “Information Systems” opens the release with a long-form electronic soundscape constructed entirely around spoken samples and the mythology of computing, a hypnotic meditation on the machines that have quietly become an essential part of everyday life. Meanwhile, “The Insider” explores the darker side of privileged knowledge, questioning how much of what we perceive as “inside information” is actually fact, interpretation or simple assumption.

Also included is “Pills (in f sharp)”, a radical reworking of the album track that shifts the original into a different key while turning its uncompromising EBM attack into an even more direct club weapon. Its addictive “Pills, I want more pills” refrain becomes both provocative chant and sharp satire on society’s obsession with quick fixes.

And then come the remixes. Legendary New York electronic outfit CRASH COURSE IN SCIENCE strip “I’m Only Happy When You Bleed” down to pure physical impact, transforming it into a relentless club monster built for sweating bodies and packed dancefloors. PEOPLE THEATRE take the track in a very different direction, adding melodic and electroclash elements before letting a detuned lead gradually take over the senses. Finally, Belgian label mates AIBOFORCEN deliver a version that sounds as if the track had been beamed directly into their own studio: unmistakably AIBOFORCEN, yet still pure IMPLANT at its core.

8 tracks, multiple faces, one unmistakable signal. IMPLANT is back, and “The Kinematics Of Doubt” is getting closer.

This new 808 DOT POP “Minimalism EP” unfolds as a dialogue between rhythm and space, merging electronic grooves with analogue sequences that loop with subtle, human variation. Percussion forms the structural backbone, carving out negative space while warm synth patterns circulate with measured precision, echoing architectural form, proportion and balance. Smooth, immersive atmospheres add depth, like sound drifting through a quiet modernist interior where every surface resonates with intention.

These aural textures blur the boundary between structure and emotion, balancing control with fluidity, restraint with motion, and precision with warmth.

Rooted in the principles of 20th-century architecture, particularly Minimalism and Contextualism, this EP embraces clarity, reduction and spatial awareness as core compositional tools.

Inspired by the openness and transparency of the Farnsworth House, the hidden infrastructural logic of the AT&T Long Lines building, and the interplay of light and shadow in the Koshino House, it translates architectural thinking into sonic form.

Across its tracks, this release develops a language where sound is treated as architecture: restrained, deliberate, and quietly expressive where every element has purpose, and silence becomes part of the structure itself.

Strongly recommended to fans of vintage sounds and melodic electronics from KRAFTWERK, KOMPUTER, ORBITAL, etc.

Originally released in 2007, “Last Crusades” was a milestone for both STAR INDUSTRY and Alfa Matrix: it was the very first album released by the Belgian gothic rock powerhouse on our label.

Combining their trademark dark, melodic gothic rock with electronic and industrial elements, the album firmly established STAR INDUSTRY as one of Belgium’s leading gothic rock exports. Their sound draws on the legacy of THE SISTERS OF MERCY, THE MISSION and FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM while remaining unmistakably their own, with classic tracks such as “Lost Generation” and “Last Crusades.”

Driven by powerful guitars, dark synth lines, infectious melodies and Peter Beckers’ instantly recognisable vocals, “Last Crusades” remains a defining chapter in the STAR INDUSTRY story – an album that perfectly bridges the atmosphere of classic gothic rock with a more modern electronic edge.

Now, almost twenty years after its original release, “Last Crusades” finally gets the vinyl edition it never had. Featuring stunning artwork specifically adapted and designed for the LP format, this very first vinyl pressing is strictly limited to 500 copies worldwide.

Passenger S invites you on a historical journey ‘around the world (and back)’ through his latest conceptual piece of work. From Spain, Canada, Japan, Germany, the UK and France to Australia, he guides the listener through a series of places shaped by the defining architectural movements of the 20th century.

Diving deep into the many isms of modern architecture, the listener will discover a rich collection of remarkable buildings that have left a lasting imprint on landscapes around the world. These architectural structures, both iconic and overlooked, form the foundation of this new sonic exploration.

Ignited by the renowned Habitat 67, Passenger S (known for his relentless curiosity) immersed himself in literature, essays and video material, studying architectural landmarks and hidden gems alike. As he wandered through urban environments shaped by functionality, clarity and modernist ideals, he began composing sounds inspired by the forms and atmospheres that moved him most.

In doing so, he embraced a deliberately minimalist approach that mirrors the architectural philosophy he so admires. Just as modernist architects stripped away excess to reveal pure form, he applies the same discipline to his sound, structure and composition.

The result unfolds across two companion albums: “Maximalism” (this black album) and “Minimalism” (the white album). Across no less than 18 tracks, every sound, left or right stereo effect, was chosen with intent, allowing space, repetition, and restraint to play an important role alongside melody and rhythm.

This dual approach defines the sonic language of both albums, where simplicity and complexity coexist in aural balance. Rather than overwhelming the listener, Passenger S his signature soothing sequences and compelling rhythms invite close attention to detail, texture and structure, much like architecture itself rewards those who take the time to truly observe it.

Still firmly rooted in their trademark hard-hitting dark electro, FRONTAL BOUNDARY now pushes further into refined dark melodies, poignant synth lines and emotionally charged vocals, combining raw electronic power with an increasingly irresistible sense of catchiness. They make darkness shine.

The title track takes us deep into the darkest corners of the human mind, exploring isolation, grief and the struggle to keep going when hope feels impossibly far away. But “Alone” also reveals a more melodic and emotionally exposed side of FRONTAL BOUNDARY – without ever sacrificing their characteristic intensity.

The EP also takes an unexpected turn with a haunting reinterpretation of GARBAGE’s “Milk”, featuring the evocative female vocals of Kimber Parrish and adding yet another dimension to the band’s evolving sound.

And there is much more to discover: five very different remix visions transform “Alone” in their own distinctive ways. From the atmospheric approach of ASSEMBLAGE 23 to the harder electronic treatments of PROTOKOLL 19 and REAPER, through the more experimental perspectives of ASPHODEL IVORY and THE AXIOM DIVIDE, the EP offers a remarkably diverse journey around one powerful song.

“Alone” is more than a new single. It is a statement of intent – FRONTAL BOUNDARY are evolving, expanding and pushing their darkness into new territory.

On their 7th album, long-time Australian friends Gerry and Lawrie (STUDUI-X) take a violent detour into the darkest corners of 90s industrial rock, elektro-metal and noisy guitar-driven madness, dragging their familiar electronic DNA through a particularly filthy reality. The result is their most extreme, abrasive and deliberately uncomfortable album to date.

“Welcome Home”. “Let Them Eat Violence”. “Bareback In Babylon”. “Our Trade Is War”. “The Devil Gets His Due”. The titles alone should probably be enough of a warning. This is AVARICE IN AUDIO watching a world that has stopped turning right and deciding that the appropriate response is to turn the volume up. Part dystopian videogame, part political nightmare, part industrial-rock fever dream, the album blurs satire and reality until you can no longer tell which one is more fucked up.

There are hooks. There is power. There is even fun to be had. But don’t expect an easy ride. “Welcome To Weimar America” is intentionally difficult to digest, occasionally revolting and gloriously excessive. Fans of the band’s darker synth-pop, harsh elektro and EBM-driven past may need to leave their comfort zone at the door.

Featuring longtime friend STATIC LOGIC on a 2026 reworking of “Let The Boreal Burn”, and artwork by Kallisti Design, this is AVARICE IN AUDIO throwing musical restraint out of the window and setting fire to whatever remains.

“Welcome to Weimar America”. Please keep your hands inside the vehicle. The dead are falling at every corner.
