DEFLEXITY

Up next is music from Deflexity, the mastermind behind Twin Rattler has created one of the weirdest and most peculiar contrasts of the year so far in my opinion. 

"Caramelldansen" and the original came out 2001 with the constellation of Caramella Girls or Caramell. 

It became an Internet meme in the mid-2000s after a sped-up version of the song was attached to a video loop from the Japanese visual novel Popotan, which went viral. This version of the song was officially released in 2006 in Sweden and Japan as "U-u-uma uma", the latter of which charted on Oricon. A virtual group called Caramella Girls was launched to promote the song, renditions in other languages, and other cover songs and original songs. This is long before AI fucked up the musicscene, if you compare the original to todays similar songs, that is AI all the way.

Pressrelease: 

Deflexity returns with a new release, taking on the infectious dance-pop hit “Caramelldansen” and transforming it through a dark, atmospheric witch house lens. 

The shadowy alter ego of Denis Frolov, also known for his high-octane electronic project Twin Rattler, Deflexity ventures deeper into the murkier reaches of the electronic underground. Glitch-laden lo-fi textures collide with heavy electronic rhythms, distorted atmospheres and ethereal witch house influences, giving the familiar track a completely different character. 

This is a really good version and I can imagine that Vasco & Millboy, the producers behind the original are quite pleased with this version. 

"Caramelldansen" is OUT NOW through skyQode.

PROLETARIAN POETRY

If you are a fan of minimalistic synth, Proletarian Poetry is the one for you, the Gothenbourg based act just released a new single in "Betrayal" 

Pressrelease: 

Betrayal is a dark and danceable song with drive despite the slow tempo (BPM 115). In the borderland between EBM, Darkwave and Synthpop. Heavy and playful drums, dark vocals and melodies with oriental elements make this a unique song. It starts calmly and minimalistic and builds on before, after an experimental break, it lets loose.

EMMON vs KRIS BAHA

Last out tonight is the new EMMON single that came out this Friday, well, a new remixsingle is the right word. 

"Relics" have been remixed by Kris Baha.

The remix is a big beat version with elements of Techno, a bit similar to legendary The Prodigy. 

Pressrelease: 

EMMON continues the road towards the forthcoming remix album ICONMIXED with a fierce new interpretation of Relics by Berlin-based Australian producer Kris Baha. 

Known for a mutant collision of EBM, industrial, techno, breaks and '90s rave—and for remixes of artists including Boy Harsher, Boys Noize and Kontravoid—Baha transforms EMMON's dark electro original into a peak-time dancefloor weapon. Big-beat attitude collides with hard techno, pounding rhythms and raw rave energy, while the darkness at the heart of EMMON's sound remains firmly intact. 

The remix does not simply increase the tempo or weight of the original. Baha pulls Relics apart and rebuilds it for a different physical space, replacing its restrained tension with forward motion and impact. Distorted electronics, forceful percussion and a sense of barely controlled momentum push the track towards the point where alternative club music, industrial pressure and rave abandon become indistinguishable. 

Originally released on EMMON's 2025 album ICON, Relics already represented a meeting between different corners of the Swedish electronic underground. The track features guest vocals from Agent Side Grinder frontman Emanuel Åström, whose presence adds another human shadow to EMMON's stark electronic landscape. 

That collaborative thread has continued through the ICONMIXED campaign. In August, Agent Side Grinder delivered their own remix of Relics, pushing the song towards '90s house through LinnDrum rhythms, Euro-disco riffs and acid basslines. Kris Baha now takes the same source material somewhere altogether more punishing: away from nocturnal melancholy and directly into the pressure of the dancefloor. 

The result captures the central idea behind ICONMIXED. Rather than presenting remixes as secondary versions, EMMON has invited artists with distinctive identities to reinterpret the world of ICON on their own terms. Each collaborator reveals a different possibility within the original songs, connecting EMMON's established synth and darkwave foundations with wider international scenes spanning EBM, post-punk, industrial music, techno and club culture. 

Across the project, EMMON's music becomes a meeting point between artists, cities and generations of electronic music. The songs retain their emotional and melodic core, but their surroundings keep shifting—from darkwave and post-punk to house, EBM, industrial electronics and hard techno. With Relics (Kris Baha Remix), that process reaches its most explosive point yet. 

The remix album "ICONMIXED" are set to be released in October 23rd. through the label Icons Creating Evil Art.

TWICE A MAN

In the end of the 70s, to be more exact, 1978, Twice A Man was formed in the name of Cosmic Overdose but 1981 they changed the name to Twice A Man. 

Twice A Man consists of Dan Söderqvist and Karl Gasleben from the begining and later on, Jocke Söderqvist. 

Twice A Man is signed by DEPENDENT, the home of acts like Covenant and Beborn Beton just to mention some and in the end of November, 20:th, the album "Reveries Before Silence" comes out. 

The first single of the album is "Desert Storm" and are available now on Spotify. 

Pressrelease: 

TWICE A MAN comment: "The first single track, 'Desert Snow', is one of our musical footprints in a time marked by uncertainty, division, and change", Karl Gasleben explains on behalf of the band collective. "This song reflects on the world we live in today while reminding us that hope and positive thinking can still be a path toward unity. As modern societies continue to challenge our sense of human connection, we need to find what brings us together rather than what drives us apart. If we can discover a common voice that leads us away from war, polarisation, and the climate crisis, there is still a future worth believing in. We want to be able to look our children in the eyes and speak about tomorrow with honesty, responsibility, and hope. 'Desert Snow' is our contribution to that conversation – a song that carries both reflection and faith in a better future." 

Parallel to their new album, TWICE A MAN will also release a collection of rare tracks revolving around marine themes that have been gathered in a 48-page 2CD artbook under the title "The Marine Trilogy" on November 20, 2026
