Out Of Line
12/12/2020, Peter DOLPHEN
Out of Line is still one of the largest and most productive labels for quality dark electronics. As proof of their status, they like to release their famous 'Electrostorm'-sampler, which gathers the best club tracks from the bands signed to the label.
This ninth (!) edition is no different. Like the previous 8 Electrostorm-samplers, this is again a compilation with high standards. Tracks which are almost designed to put the crowd in motion. 17 masterpieces of bands like Solar Fake (I despise you), Blutengel (Wir sind Unsterblich), Solitary Experiments (The struggle, Midnight Resistance mix), Suicide Commando (Bunkerb!tch), Dive (Death machine), Rummelsnuff (Interkosmos), Hocico (Cross the line, Zardonic remix) and more of those.
Still, after all those years, Out of Line still matters, is still a label which keeps the finger on what is hot in our dark scene, always delivering high standards with bands which keep showing their quality. Lots of samplers don't get to 9 episodes, but I am very confident that this number 9 will be followed by many more.
To be continued!
