Spielzeug is proud to announce the arrival of two new releases.
Froe Char "Fossils" LP
"Froe Char aka Italian / Parisian Christina is also known as 1/2 of the synth duo Illustration Sonore who has an amazing Lp being released by the fantastic Medical Records label.
There have been a pair of previous Froe Char releases of dark beautiful ambiance but with “Fossils” she takes the distorted haze and murk of her prior work and uses it as a texture amid percolating synths and minimalist rhythms. “Fossils” is the sultry minimal synth record for the experimental crowd or the noisy bleak record for the coldwave kids.
I once heard someone say “you can’t dance to pain” but this record really proves otherwise."
This record is the first in a collaborative effort between Spielzeug Muzak and the excellent DIY label Modern Tapes from US.
V/A "Toilettes Publiques n°2"
Once again, the Disco Kaos crew brought to your ears the best of neo 80's trash wave!
Once again we celebrate the lowfi side of new wave and synth punk. Provocative and fresh. Expect some new unborn hits, parasite pop and obscure sounds.. Negative spirits and electronic freaks welcome!
Flush it again!
The first season of the Swedish-Danish thriller The Bridge was 95.000 times sold and Lumière, the Belgian company that also has become the co-producer, informs us that it looks like the second season will break this record.
In Sweden 1,2 million people were watching the second season, just like in Danemark. To say it in other words: a rise of the market share with 30%! This popularity is also seen in Holland where The Bridge is since two weeks the best sold series.
So if you don’t know what to put under the Christmas tree: The Bridge 2 could be a tip!
Synopsis:
When the power is restored on the Bridge of the Americas, at the US-Mexican border, Judge Lorraine Gates' body is found directly on the border line. Both El Paso Detective Sonya Cross (Diane Kruger) and Chihuahua Detective Marco Ruiz (Demián Bichir) arrive on the scene. Ruiz allows an ambulance with Charlotte Millwright (Annabeth Gish) and her husband (Robert R. Shafer), who is having a heart attack, to cross back into the States. When Gates' body is moved, it comes apart at the waist, and the coroner identifies the upper part of the body as Gates', but the lower part belongs to Cristina Fuentes. Ruiz matches her with a previous case wherein 23 dismembered bodies were found in a "death house", one of many body drop sites.

The second track to be lifted from "Sun" as a video, "Goodbye" is an ironic and poignant farewell from the artist to the fans, as this album concludes. We enjoyed the journey as much as you did, and "Goodbye" is IIOIOIOII's "thank you for listening". The follow up album is in the works.
Released officially on 13th December 2013, "Sun" is limited to 100 copies in a 4 panel digipak, and is very nearly sold out.

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.
