BLACK SPIDER CLAN is a side project of Beta Evers and Dystronic.
Their music can be categorized as Electro Dark Wave. They started in 2002 with a recording session and a release on Beta Evers' Kommando 6' label. As they were both busy with their solo projects, they only recorded sporadically after that. Since they mainly record and play with an extensive analog setup, they only played live twice, once in Belgium (Liege) and once in France (Paris). Besides a few contributions to compilations they released a total number of 2 EPs till 2015.
The retrospective album "Metamorphosis" presents you 15 years of dark elektro and contains all their tracks plus 2 new previously unreleased ones!

The Force Diminsion - A short history :
Originally set up as a trio (Rene van Dijck and Tycho de Groot with effect-generator Armin Elmensdorp) at the beginning of 1987, a demo was sent all over the world which resulted in a collaboration on a 7 inch with the industrial label "De Fabriek", a heavy experimental but melodic participation.
During the course of 1988 the band appears on several compilations and develops more and more towards Electronic Body Music, though never losing themselves in clichés, always giving the music their very own touch, like atmospheric ingredients.
At last by chance, tapes got in the hands of KK Records which offered them a record deal. The label owner took the unique decision to release the record in two versions. The Blue version produced by Luc van Acker and the Red version - produced by the band itself and sounding rougher and harder.
One more album "Deus Ex Machina" plus the12 inches "Algorhythm" and "New Funk" were released and after their 10th anniversary in 1997 the band fell apart. In 2011 an attempt was made to reunite, but this failed. In 2014 however, another attempt to restart was undertaken, now with a different line-up: René van Dijck (synthesizers, vocals) and Betty Correa (vocals, guitar, percussion).
Fragrance is a new emerging synthpop/dreampop artist from France, Mathieu Roche.
On his first EP Dust &Disorders, he carries you away in an emotional trip, from dreamy atmospehres, to more bombastic synthesizers along with hard bass drums and an almost classical touch in between everything.
The vocal part is done in English, not the most evident thing to do being a French guy.
The mastering of this EP was done by Hélène de Thoury (Hante) at Synth Religion, the artwork and photography was created by Atelier Belle Lurette. The music itself was composed, written and mixed by Matthieu Roche.
The first single is called Collapse. Nice dreamy synthpop, very melodic but it has some dark tone.
German Synth-pop band Alphamay released a videoclip for the song „Weak Philosophy“.
The German Synth-pop band Alphamay released a videoclip for the song „Weak Philosophy“. This song is the one that got them the nomination for „Best Elektropop-Band“ by the German Pop Foundation were the ended up as 2nd best Electro-pop Band of Germany.

ADULT. (Detroit’sNicola Kuperus and Adam Lee Miller) have announced details of a new collaborative album, Detroit House Guests - their first for Mute - out on double vinyl and CD on 17 March 2017.
Listen to They’re Just Words, the first track to be taken from the album, featuring Nitzer Ebb’s Douglas J McCarthy HERE!
And watch the album trailer HERE!
Detroit House Guests is a collaborative project, conceived by ADULT. in the early 2000s. The concept became a reality in 2014 after receiving a John S. and James L.Knight Foundation grant.
Based on the visual artist residency model, each musician came to ADULT.’s studio for a three week period with the parameter that they all live, work and collaborate together. The result - a total anthropological sound experiment and a full length album.
The album features collaborations with a whole host of musicians and artists – Douglas J McCarthy from Nitzer Ebb, Michael Gira from Swans, Shannon Funchess from Light Asylum, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe aka Lichens, Austrian thereminist Dorit Chrysler and multidisciplinary artist Lun*na Menoh.
ADULT. are the Detroit duo Nicola Kuperus and Adam Lee Miller. They played their first live show together in Germany in 1997 under the name Artificial Material. In early '98 they released their first 12" under the moniker Plasma Co. Later that year, they released their first 12" under the name ADULT. Currently, they have released six albums and 19 EPs or singles on Ghostly International, Thrill Jockey and Clone Records, as well as on their own label Ersatz Audio, (which currently has over 40 releases since it was founded in '95). They have remixed over 20 acts as well, including Tuxedomoon, John Foxx, Death in Vegas and Pet Shop Boys (for Moog Music).
Kuperus and Miller also make sculpture, paintings, films, photographs, performances, videos and installations. They strive to intersect the lines between art and audio and have exhibited their work at institutions such as the Austrian Cultural Forum (NY), Mattress Factory (Pittsburgh), Detroit Institute of Arts (Detroit), MOMAS (Saitama, Japan), and Centre d'art contemporain de Meymac (FR). They have shown their film The Three Grace(s) triptych at spaces such as Anthology Film Archives (NY), Distrital Film Festival (Mexico City), and Grey Area for Art and Technology (SF).
