Electro-Industrial artists Haujobb have announced in the Spring of 2015 they will release a new album titled Blendwerk. It will be released in Europe on Basic Unit Productions and in North America on Negative Gain Productions. Haujobb is a German musical project whose output has ranged drastically within the electronic music spectrum, from electro-industrial to IDM and techno. They have become a staple crossover act, bringing several forms of electro into the mainstream industrial music world.
Haujobb was formed in 1993 by Daniel Myer, Dejan Samardzic, and Björn Junemann, pulling the name from the Blade Runner translation of "skin job". More information on Blendwerk will be made available after the new year.
On Novermber 28th Haujobb will be on the Alliance Of Sound tour with Skinny Puppy, Youth Code, and a possible replacement artist for VNV Nation. Do to some extra travel expenses that have come up for Haujobb they have launched a crowd funding campaign to help cover some of those costs. From their Indiegogo campaign....
"Hello Friends!
We have never thought about launching a crowdfunding campaign before as for our past projects, albums, productions, etc. we could always count on your support so far. But this time we really need additional help. As many of you already know, we are booked for The Alliance Of Sound-Tour in North America (see details below). After (too) many years this is now a great opportunity for us to play an extensive tour on the other side of the world again. Unfortunately, due to altered circumstances our initial plan for transportation on this tour failed. We are working now on plan B and C, which are both significantly more expensive. Regardless if this campaign reaches its goal or not, we will still do this tour (unless other unexpected hurdles cross our way to North America). This campaign is only made to help us cover, at least partly, the now increased costs of travelling and accommodation. Financial support is not the only way to help. Show this campaign to your friends or family or whoever might be interested. Thank you for your continued support, not only in this campaign, but over the past years!"
Haujobb are offering such perks as signed copies of the upcoming album, remix services, equipment that was used to produce their albums, and even to produce an artists release.
Remember this name!
It's a new AMBASSADOR21' side-project!
Debut full-length album is ready. Where, when and motherfucking title - more news to come very soon.
Stay tuned!
With great regret, we have to let you know that, VNV Nation have pulled out of the Alliance of Sound Tour.
Due to a problematic situation, that had unexpectedly worsened in recent weeks, and which was likely to continue doing so, the band and crew deliberated over how to proceed before unanimously coming to the very reluctant decision that the appropriate course of action would be to pull out of the tour.
To all the VNV Nation fans who have bought tickets for this tour, we sincerely apologise for this news, which we know will upset many people. A decision like this is never lightly made and it has pained us greatly to have had to do this. We had been very much looking forward to doing this tour and had planned a great set and show but the situation that had caused us to make this decision had made matters too problematic to continue.
sincerely,
Ronan and Mark

Now out on Homescreen
Die Frau des Polizisten
The story of a young couple who live in a small town with their four-year-old daughter. The husband is so caught up in his work as a policeman that he gradually becomes increasingly alienated from his wife and daughter who become ever closer to one another as they discover the new town. It is only a matter of time before the conflicts within the family manifest themselves.
Director: Philip Gröning
Stars: Alexandra Finder, David Zimmerschied, Pia Kleemann
DIE FRAU DES POLIZISTEN is Philip Grönings opvolger van het enorm succesvolle en gewaardeerde INTO GREAT SILENCE. Net als deze film is DIE FRAU DES POLIZISTEN een waar kunstwerk dat je als kijker moet ondergaan en waarin je jezelf volledig kunt onderdompelen.
Christine is getrouwd met Uwe, een politie agent. Samen met hem en hun dochtertje wonen ze in een klein Duits provinciestadje. Ogenschijnlijk vormen de drie een harmonieus en perfect gelukkig gezinnetje, maar hun dochtertje blijkt het enige cement waarop hun huwelijk is gefundeerd. Voor de buitenwereld verborgen - achter de claustrofobische muren van hun appartementje – blijkt iets kleins al genoeg te zijn om Uwes achterdocht en spanning te laten omslaan tot geweld. DIE FRAU DES POLIZISTEN ontrafelt de duistere kant van liefde, verlangen, macht en schaamte en werd op het Filmfestival van Venetië bekroond met de Special Jury Prize.
Ahead of the release of their ‘Sadako’ EP, Fairchild have unveiled the video for new track ‘Arcadia’.
To create the fun, energetic visual, every frame from the clip was printed onto A4 paper, hand painted and photographed back into the timeline for a stop-motion effect - totalling over 4000 frames. The video was produced by the band’s bassist, Tommy Davies and directed by Turk Lees.
The Queensland outfit’s ‘Sadako’ EP is out on 17th November via Canvas Sounds. The six-track EP was recorded in vocalist Adam Lyons' bedroom before being mixed by Catherine Marks (Foals, Wolf Alice) in London. It follows the band’s debut EP, ‘Burning Feet’.
Over the past eighteen months, Fairchild have been touring through Hong Kong, China and North America, as well as playing Singapore’s Music Matters and Canadian Music Week, refining their live shows. The band also includes Adam’s older brother Nathan Lyons on keys, guitarists Patrick Huerto and Tim Voeten and drummer James Alexander.
