VoidWork
VoidWork was started in 2008 by Xavier with the purpose of creating a haunting musical atmosphere.The project is inspired by early 20th century supernatural literature and more recent horror cinema. VoidWork also draws inspiration from more general concepts such as fear, desolation, death...
Musically, VoidWork is situated somewhere in the genre wastelands that lie between neoclassical, dark wave and horror ambient.
Ann-Mari Thim (Arcana, Veil of Blue), Melissa Ferlaak (Echoterra, ex-Visions of Atlantis) and Zuberoa Aznarez (Diabulus in Musica) have all graced VoidWork with vocal contributions.

'Wear & Tear' EP
Catalog#: EKPMCD003
Format: CD, EP, Digipak, Digital
Released: 2012, May 4
Genre: Electronic
Style: Electro, EBM
The band ...
Access to Restricted Area: Restricted Area, from Sweden, have been around for quite a while, way before the growth of today’s electro and ebm scene with bands such as Covenant or Spetsnaz and have had a huge impact on the scene. The band released the first single entitled “Ett Gammalt Bergstroll” in 1994 which quickly became somewhat of an underground classic.
The band has had numerous constellations throughout the years with songwriter and vocalist Peter Elm being the constant driving-force behind the project. Equally featuring on a number of albums is charismatic Emma Johansson, adding a new dimension to the songs.
Although not easily labelled, RA’s music can best be described as ranging from melancholic electro to relentless, uncompromising EBM in its purest definition. Lyrics deal with life, love and loss, as well as aggression and integrity (a forgotten word in today’s society).
2011 marks a new start for Restricted Area. They are back, stronger than ever, ready to take on the world with a brand new double cd, which is sure to become a future classic!
Restricted Area are back with an extremely strong double cd! The first cd is entitled ”Core Excess” and should in many ways unfold like a traditional album.
It is a truly intense musical journey, displaying a variety of moods and feelings with lyrics sung in both English and French. The main themes being love, loss and life.
The second cd is entitled ”Underdog E.P.” and explodes with pure, relentless and in-your-face EBM! The songs here deal with integrity (or rather, the total lack of integrity in today’s society), excess and aggression and will set any dance floor on fire!
Listeners are up for a real treat can be sure that hey will not be left unmoved by either of the cds!

'IMPERIA'
Catalog#: EKPCD015
Format: CD, Album, Digipak, Digital
Released: 2012, June 8
Genre: Electronic
The band ...
Although Impakt! was formed in 2010, the foundations for the band were laid as early as 1985 when schoolmates Sam and Vince discovered they shared an interest for electronic and experimental industrial music.
Sam had a band at that moment with PW on drums and Vince joined in for a while. As months passed it became clear that the time nor the place was not right for the three of them. Vince moved on to form an all electronic act “Advanced Art” while Sam and PW continued to work together with more traditional instruments. Their band evolved and became “Ruby Tuesday”, mixing influences from both Irish and rock music.
In 1993 Vince and PW got back together for a few years when “Advanced Art” needed an extra percussionist for live shows. PW became an essential part of “Advanced Art” playing live and even on their last release “Force”. After “Advanced Art” split in 1995 their ways parted for the second time.
Sam and PW kept on playing together all these years in different bands, some of them being quite successful in Finland. Vince on the other hand decided to retire from the scene and gave up writing music.
In 2010 PW contacted Vince after over 10 years and came up with an idea of a new band. He had a name in mind and suggested they should ask Sam to join in too. They decided to give it a go and started to write some songs together.

CRAWLING CHAOS ‘SPOOKHOUSE’ (EE25 - CD)
limited to 500 copies
Remember Crawling Chaos?
Debuting post-punk art rock ensemble on Factory UK with the single 'Sex Machine'/'Berlin' (1980). They soon got dumped to Factory Benelux (who released their first LP 'The Gas Chair' in early 1982) for being too unclassifiable. Too weird? What else left but to put up their own Foetus Products for the musical output of Crawling Chaos and their many other disguises.... They reached a modest cult status, especially with the LP albums 'The Big C' (1984) and 'Waqqaz' (1985). 'Spookhouse' is a collection of their last ever recordings from 1987, unpublished so far, except for 2 tracks that were previously released before on cassette compilations by EE Tapes in 1987 and 1990.
Hey, this is CD EE25, these tracks are 25 years old and this label is exactly 25 years old too this year!Coincidence does exist, let's throw a party! Jeff, this one's for you!
