Defender is a one of a kind Industrial-Tech experience. Andrako, having his roots in the rock and metal scene, puts out some very unique grime. We are proud to have the DFNDR EP as one of our own on Techno Moshpit. Stay tuned for Andrako remix exploits...

Wish Upon A Blackstar, one of the most anticipated albums of the year, is a masterwork by a master artist. The album's sixteen songs seamlessly blend genres from Electro and Dubstep to Rock and Orchestral with an intricacy and precision seldom heard in today's Electronic music. But it's not just studio wizardry and digital complexity; even the best production has little staying power without strong songcraft to back it up, and this is where Celldweller brings his deeply honed songwriting ability to bear, making Wish Upon A Blackstar an album that will long outlast its contemporaries. Truly epic in scope and execution, Wish Upon A Blackstar...

On February 14, 2011 - Valentine's Day - dark electro artist Miss FD releases Love Never Dies, the emotionally intense follow-up to her debut release Monsters in the Industry. Where the first album captured a personal journey through darkness and into light, FD's latest creation sets out in the opposite direction, venturing through the mirror into a shadow world of anguish and despair, of riddles with no answers.

With Love Never Dies, Miss FD's music and lyrics take a much darker turn - even the title itself is an ironic stab at the heart of the romantic ideal. Far from a collection of love songs, instead these seven tracks spin a tale...

We are proud to present this ridiculously good EP from the latest signing Mark Instinct! Known for putting out straight bangers on Rottun recordings and murdering remixes for various labels, Mark has stepped into the Subhuman arena with these 4 sonic weapons. Dieselboy and the team have been testing these out and they have been known to instigate moshpits! Heavy, dirty and OFF THE CHAIN!

Released as a massive single with Excision's Rottun Records, Vaski's fresh new vocal banger "Insane" ft. Ava is a genuine dubstep with of absolutely titanic magnitude. Sultry, seductive vocals propel the song forward, bolstering Vaski's anthemic synth-work and absolutely exquisite progressions. Building energy to the point of an apocalyptic meltdown, Vaski's signature electro-infused synth-work tears through reality with the force of a hurricane, ripping apart genre barriers and highlighting Ava's track-making vocal performance, "Insane" is a vibrant dubstep anthem that would make a strategic addition to any high-energy EDM performance....

Over the course of its existence, the FiXT Remix community gave rise to a handful of producers who transcended the role of remixer and became successful independent artists in their own right. The Luna Sequence is one such example. Kaia Young's trademark touch mixed high velocity drum'n'bass rhythms and glitchy electronica with razor sharp metal guitar riffs that betrayed the artist's background in hardcore punk. Winning the Take It & Break It contest for Celldweller's "Frozen" with her As Ember Remix brought The Luna Sequence to prominence early on, and as FiXT Remix evolved out of TI&BI and grew into a fully-formed community, Kaia's remixing...

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...

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 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...

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...

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...
