After stoking the flames in our Gelsenkirchen electro-forges for the first half of this year, "Dependence 2012" showcases the fireworks that will be on display at Dependent in summer and autumn. "Dependence 2012" will contain unreleased and exclusive recordings from veteran artists as well as the first high-profile releases from some of the scene's hottest newcomer acts.
The track list features brand new songs and spectacular remixes and rare recordings from the likes of Mesh, Front Line Assembly, Seabound, Pride And Fall, Decoded Feedback, Ghost & Writer, Dismantled, Stromkern, SKOLD, Informatik, Encephalon, Velvet Acid Christ, Acretongue, KMFDM and more. The tracklist also features the very first release by the newcomer act Radioaktivists.
Behind the Radioaktivists moniker hide some of the best known and busiest artists in the electo-industrial and electropop scenes. One is Daniel Myer, known for his work in projects like Haujobb, Architect, Destroid and Covenant; another is singer Frank M. Spinath, the voice of Seabound, Edge Of Dawn and Ghost & Writer, and who has also lent his vocal talents to the likes of Liquid Divine, Diskonnekted, The Azoic and Stromkern just to name a few. Krischan Wesenberg of Rotersand and also known for his work with Dismantled, Aesthetic Perfection and Imperative Reaction among others lends a hand with production, and for further vocals the Radioaktivists must look no further than Leipzig-based singer and author Alexander "Sascha" Lange. As said "Pieces Of Me" is the first track to emerge from this collective, and one listen should be enough to convince you that Radioaktivists are a bright new star in the electro sky.
Dependence 2012 will come in a special embossed deep black jewel case containing 24-page booklet featuring massive detailed information on the label and artist roster and is the perfect introduction to the Dependent label for the uninitiated and a special treat for long-time fans. No outtakes or boring remixes here: just 15 high quality, basically exclusive tracks.
"Dependence 2012" is to be released April 27
Raw, uncompromising, and visceral, Skinny Puppy live cannot be called simply a concert. It is an experience. "Bootlegged, Broke And In Solvent Seas" proves this to be true. Recorded in Warsaw, Bratislava, Hildesheim, and Budapest, this is a documentation of Skinny Puppy in top form at their latest European tour. Unlike so many other live albums, there is no editing magic or trickery. These are the songs as they were played: captured from the soundboard by Ken ‘Hi-Watt’ Marshall. Ogre’s powerful vocal performances coupled with cEvin Key’s synth modulations and sound manipulations and the machine-precise drums of Justin Bennet make this a stunning testimony to the power of this legendary act. The album is to be released June 15 in Europe via Dependent.
Tracklisting:
01. Prelude (Warsaw) / 02. Rodent (Warsaw) / 03. Dead Lines (Bratislava) / 04. Dogshit (Warsaw) / 05. Addiction (Bratislava) / 06. HateKill (Warsaw) / 07. Worlock (Hildesheim) / 08. Morpheus Laughing (Warsaw) / 09. Assimilate (Warsaw) / 10. Shore Lined Poison (Budapest)
Mike Herbage, one of the founders of Department S, kindly accepted to give his video greetings to the readers of Peek-a-boo after the show at REWIND FEST: watch the video below!
Mike explained how the band decided to cover Alvin Stardust's hit "My Coo-Ca-Choo" as an hommage to their original singer, Vaughan Toulouse, who was a huge fan of Alvin Stardust and unfortunately died of an AIDS related illness in 1991. Furthermore, the band will start working on a new album by the end of the year.

Crash Course In Science at REWIND FEST: Interview and live video of 'Flying Turns'
Michael Zodorozny, one of the founders of Crash Course In Science, the famous postpunk/prototechno band from Philadelphia, gave a short interview to Peek-a-boo after their show at the REWIND FEST in Ghent on 7th April. He said the festival is by far "the biggest show of their short European tour", which includes four shows.
He also explained how "Flying Turns", this legendary song from the album "Signals From Pier Thirteen", was recorded. As this original version is very hard to reproduce, the band is playing a remix version of it on stage. Michael also said that the band is considering re-recording the song again, with a different arrangement...
