Muffler delivers the goods with this incredible 4-track dubstep masterpiece combining a science fiction concept tied together with his unique cinematic production style. The EP starts off with "Cybertron", an epic Transformers themed track with a huge soundtrack intro, booming narration and a grinding drop that will test the limits of any soundsystem. Next is "Machines" which combines industrial strength techno influenced dubstep with pounding 909 kicks and robotic percussion. Then it is the metal-vibe influenced "Heavy" which was featured on Dieselboy's "Unleashed" mix - churning guitar like bass riffs over a cracking break. Serious mosh...

Surfacing is the long awaited debut album from Empty which represents a whole new realm of sound by integrating organic emotion with raw elements of desperation and melodic electronics. Featuring fourteen immersive tracks moulded from a variety of genres including Electro-Industrial, Drum & Bass and Glitch, Surfacing offers the listener a unique auditory experience with a wide range of vocal styles and varying structural paces.

The sound of Empty is comparable to that of Electro-Industrial bands such as Front Line Assembly, Dismantled, Mind.In.A.Box, Imperative Reaction or Skinny Puppy and draws inspiration from bands outside of the genre such as Pendulum, Tweaker and...

Synthematik presents a brand new EP titled <em>Girl With The Knife</em> from the talented Ukrainian dark electro band Dirty Bird 13! The group was formed in 2009 by Denis Cherryman and Alexander Sol in Horlivka, Ukraine. After releasing a demo in 2009 and the single "Ja Budu Zhit [I Will Survive]" in 2010, DB13 have established themselves as one of the most promising newcomers in the East European dark electro / industrial scene.

In 2007, Bret Stahli arrived in Detroit, MI to create music under the tutelage of Klayton of Celldweller. Six years later, Bret has much to show for that fateful step north: a self-titled debut album of face- stomping, electronic-tinged alternative rock, three diverse volumes of instrumental soundtrack material (the Antisleep series), a season spent performing as one half of the live Celldweller show, and a ravenous fanbase begging for more.

Now Bret is closing the lid on this first 'era' of Blue Stahli as he writes songs for his second album and fashions a live show of his own. As a fond farewell to the years of creativity that brought him this far, Bret...

If you haven't yet heard, here's the news: Blue Stahli is indeed writing songs for the follow up to his ass-kicking self- titled debut album! Unfortunately, he's working on those songs from within a prison cell. This brand new stand-alone single tells you why. Musically, the chainsaw pop of "Never Dance Again" is Bret's love letter to the 80s. Thematically, the song is a love letter to...well, you'll see. In case it isn't overly obvious to you after listening, Bret's a jealous lover. Let that be a word of warning to any of his fans who wear some other band's T-shirt to a Blue Stahli show. "Never Dance Again" comes accompanied by a...

If the Blue Stahli who created the first two volumes of Antisleep was the fun-loving master of funk who crashed your Hollywood Hills garden party to cannonball off the roof into your pool, the Blue Stahli who made this third volume is the one who, clad in black and backlit by one flickering Exit sign, appears in your rearview mirror as you get into your car late one night in a dimly lit and otherwise empty parking garage. Is he there to warn you of imminent danger? Is HE the imminent danger? All you know is that the funk is gone and a sinister chill in the air is making the hair on the back of your neck rise. Better get your key into the ignition…whatever happens next,...

How will you choose to die? Presented here are the auditory essences of ten macabre ends. Select one, listen to it, let the sound construct a death scene in your mind. Pick your poison. With this first volume of instrumental soundtrack material, Varien has woven together a tense, sweat-inducing cinematic experience out of bass music, oppressive atmospherics, and orchestral elements. Having racked up multiple Beatport chart positions, a slot on Skrillex's Bangarang EP, and high-profile remixes of Gareth Emery and Celldweller in his young career, Varien wields a talent that promises to intoxicate film, television, and game screens just as effectively as it has infiltrated...

The Blackstar isn't finished yet with it's interstellar voyage. It remains in a mysterious orbit, exerting its influence on space and time, transforming all it touches.

The Space & Time EP includes new evolutions of songs from Celldweller's monumental Wish Upon A Blackstar album. The drumstep/metalstep monster "Unshakeable" has been morphed by Klayton himself into a dark slice of Drum & Bass with sinister growls of bass writhing beneath a steady rhythm. Under the watchful eye of Tim Ismag (courtesy of Play Me and Rottun Recordings), "Tough Guy" is turned on its head, revealing...

Soundtrack for the Voices in my Head Vol. 2 both meets and transcends the expectations placed on the followup to Celldweller's first volume of instrumental soundtrack material. Everything you loved about Celldweller is still here - pounding riffs, intricate electronics, flourishes of orchestral strings - but new elements now expand the scope of Celldweller's instrumental ouevre. Dubstep-inspired bass-play, flirtations with Moohmbaton and progressive metal, and several shades of ambient experimentation round out the diversity of sounds here. Soundtrack for the Voices in my Head Vol. 2 is primed to continue Celldweller's domination of film, television and...
