French artist Remy Pelleschi's long-standing electronic project Mlada Fronta will see its first new material in nearly a decade via Artoffact Records this Fall and Winter. The album Polygon has Mlada Fronta experiment with a new palette of sounds, drawing on influences ranging from Digitalism to country-mate Gesaffelstein. The vinyl edition, available on both black and orange vinyl, offers exclusive remixes from the album sessions.
Mlada Fronta began in 1993 with the My Visions release and has since then constantly reinvented itself, releasing everything from minimalistic sound-pattern collages to dance-floor ready EBM assaults. The club-hit "XB-33" (from 1999's High Tension) is still a regular part of DJ setlists worldwide. In 2013, Mlada Fronta signed with Toronto's Artoffact Records and released a career-spanning 10CD boxset (Every Thing) which collected all the project's output to date. The release was praised widely; Exclaim! Magazine called it "a glittering sonic gem."
After a near decade-long hiatus, during which Pelleschi focused on developing his recording and mastering studio (he is by trade a sound engineer), Mlada Fronta returns with Polygon, available this November, and Night Run, available on vinyl in December.
Mainstream wants nothing to do with their particular brand of sound and they wouldn't have it any other way.
W.A.S.T.E. has managed to stay a prevalent entity not only in the clubs and on the dance floor, but in the minds of all those who have been lucky enough to witness their unforgettable and brutality filled energetic live performances. Led by Shane aka Vuxnut, W.A.S.T.E. has been pounding out their particular blend of audio anarchy for over 10 years. With each new record, they are proving that they aren't slowing down, but only gaining momentum and moving forward. With the soon to be released "Warlord Mentality” on Vendetta Music, they plan to take the genre into new heights with a crushing and unforgettable mix of rhythmic noise, dark ambient, power electronics, and extremely harsh yet danceable industrial. "Warlord Mentality" only proves this further with the addition of vocals, and even their take on Gone Away, an Offspring cover, which is sure to take the club scene by storm. This act plans to lead us into our fate of entropy screaming and bleeding but loving every minute of it.
Warlord Mentality will be released October 28th on Vendetta Music. It will be available on CD and Digital Download.
