BIMfest is approaching slowly and our files are coming to an end as well....
Here are 32 Crash
Who are they?
32CRASH is the name of FRONT 242’s frontman and singer Jean-Luc De Meyer’s new project together with 2 infamous Belgian partners of crime Len Lemeire (IMPLANT) and Jan D’Hooghe (IMPLANT/ex-VIVE LA FETE drummer). An upbeat cocktail of influences ranging from electro to punk with an eighties EBM flavour. This is body-clash punk/pop!
The world of 32CRASH:
Long-lasting complex machineriesdevelop a sense of self-awareness. Millions of protesters worldwide violently oppose the presence of refugeed aliens on earth. The audiences’ musical tastes turn to the purity & roughness of natural/cosmic sounds. Reality often fails to match the promises made to the space settlers. Individuals accidentally entering time doors disappear to be thrown in the future/past. Gurus and prophets of all kinds deplore the fall of mankind’s conscience. A monthly meditation about ‘the ideal planet’ is mandatory in most of the countries on earth. Shifts of paradigms and quantum leaps make life feel more intense… and dangerous. The advanced nomad alien race Ol-Lesar destroy the planet ZX4 on feb 14, leaving no human survivor. ZX4’s settlers knew they couldn’t survive the Ol-Lessar attack. The systemical post mortem use of chemical components of the human body becomes legal in France. The chase of illegal human look-alike robots intensifies. Machines are totally reliable, non sensitive to circumstances, and work 24h a day. Kenzi Artigues (Brazil) wins the Nobel Prize on developing Ilya Prigogine’s theories. Pocket laser tools are the top-selling manufactured goods on earth. The Ol-Lesar sends a 24h notice before attacking ZX4. Beings from a parallel universe discretely enter and plunder our dimension at will. The secret of invisibility is stolen during an international highly protected top-secret meeting. Vast areas are regularly subject to toxic rains causing the vegetation to perish. Telepathic Guides’ higher intuition is an unmatched source of information about aliens.

Who are they?
Come on, give us a break!!!! But still if your recordcollection only contains Julio Iglesias....
With a career fuelled by ambition, built on hard work and constant perseverance... An overpowering blend of digital pulses, distorted guitars and intriguing vocals... A stance that cannot be ignored, thriving on experiment and emotion...
A SPLIT-SECOND are simply too good to be ignored, and from their conception in 1985 it didn't take the world long to acknowledge the importance of their unique musical vision.
With having released classic records like 'Flesh' (THE blueprint for the Belgian-based New Beat movement), 'Rigor Mortis' and 'Ballistic Statues' they secured themselves a place at the forefront of the international underground, while elaborate albums displayed a group capable of embracing a variety of lyrical themes and musical ingredients, arranging them into the ultimate aural synthesis for body and mind.
Lengthy tours throughout Europe and North America further established A SPLIT-SECOND's reputation as one of the most vital forces in electronic, subversive rock.
After years of silence A SPLIT-SECOND emerged again with a fantastic ‘best of ‘concert on the first edition of our own Belgian Independent Music Festival (Antwerp, Belgium 2002) where they stunned friend and foe with their hard hitting and energetic live show.
Since A Split-Second has been gigging successfully around the world from Leipzig (Germany) to NYC (USA) and from Stockholm (Sweden) Sao Paulo (Brazil).
How do they sound?
Hmmmm, never heard the one included below?
What do they have to say?
Well, read the interview Jurgen did.
This week saw the launch of the debut single from quite an exciting newcomer act, Mondträume. On the "Life is short" single the Spanish duo Mondträume brings a modern synth pop style with strong club appeal and a touch of darkness.
The single acts as a teaser for the release of their forthcoming debut album "Empty" that will surely appeal to all fans of bands like Wolfsheim, Namnambulu, Melotron or Beborn Beton.
The single features the original version of the track completed with a club mix of the title song by Cosmic Armchair and a more laid back pop one by Norway's best electropop export product Electro Spectre.
Add to that a dark-elektro one of the B-side track "Parasite" and you know you are in for a very good treat.
Available now via iTunes, Bandcamp and Spotify.
