GERMAN ELECTRONIC WEB CHART - WEEK 42

From Klangwald over to GEWC or German Electronic Web Chart and this weeks top 15.

Antiage is holding onto it´s grip on the GEWC and the number one spot, the track is now in it´s seventh week there, so it has just one week left on the list before dropping out of the GEWC. Just like on Klangwald, a track can only be on the list for 8 weeks maximum. 

Top Three: 

1 / Antiage - "Leaving Babylon" 

2 / NNHMN - "Turn Me On" 

3 / Mesh - "Trying To Save You" (olaf wollschläger remix) 

Newcomers: 

There are only two newcomers this week on GEWC and the highest of them is actually MESH on number three, so can we already now state that we probably going to have a new number one from them when Antiage and NNHMN leaving the list? both of those tracks have only one week left on the chart. 

The second and the last newcomer this week on GEWC comes from Destroy Me Again with "Moth". DMA goes in at number 13 and my guess is that DMA going to climb next week.

KLANGWALD RADIO CHART - WEEK 42

We have a fresh, new week ahead of us, it’s Monday, which means it’s time for my weekly look at the two charts I follow and checking out the new entries and the top three, for instance. Been unactive with my check the last weeks since I was hacked.  

Last week’s number one, Antiage with "Leaving Babylon" has dropped off the list, as you might know, a song can only stay on the chart for a maximum of eight weeks before it has to leave. 

We therefore have a new number one: Mesh, who were the highest-ranking new entry last week on number 2. 

Mesh are set to release a mini-album on November 27, and this is the first track we’ve heard from it. "Trying To Save You" and the remix made by Olaf Wollschläger is well worth it´s number one spot this week on Klangwald. 

The mini-album, titled *Fallen Angel*, follows their previous album, *The Truth Doesn't Matter*; you could say these are songs that didn't make the cut for the full album. Tracks that Mesh’s two key members, Mark Hockings and Richard Silverthorn, felt represented "unfinished business," as they put it themselves. 

Top Three: 

1 / Mesh - Trying To Save You (olaf wollschläger remix) / Dependent 

2 / Alienare - This Is Not The End / NoCut Music 

3 / Silke Bischoff - Under Your Skin / Dependent 

Newcomers: This weeks highest newentry on Klangwald comes from eXcubitors at number 6.

The song "I Don't Care" is originally a track from their album *Another Dimension*. A standalone single version of the song was released in October 2026 on the 4eck Studios label, called 240V remix. That is this weeks highest newentry. 

On number 9 we have the second newcomer and it comes from the duo Blackbook of Switzerland with "Different" and a stunning remix by the Futurepop kings of FrozenPlasma. 

The third newcomer comes from the UK and the artist J:Dead that release music on Infacted Recordings. The latest single from him is "Cannibal" and it hits number 13 this week. 

The last newcomer this week on number 14, comes from the german act of Undercut and "Todetrakt" The UNDERCUT project led by frontman Chewie Sakura is an electronic band from Germany, with a mix of EBM, aggrotech and post-punk.

SIMON CARTER

Simon Carter from England is a prolific artist, his latest single, "Introspective" has just been released. 

We have a club-oriented synth-pop track featuring plenty of arpeggios, stabs, and robotic vocals. At times minimalistic, yet infectious. As always, the productions from Simon is spot on. 

Simon Carter has been in the underground electronic music scene for over a decade and has several other projects including 'STUDIO-X vs. SIMON CARTER', 'SD-KRTR', 'NARCONIC', and 'HUMANS CAN'T REBOOT'. 

Pressrelease: 

A truly epic, full-length synth-driven journey built for maximum momentum and atmosphere. Containing huge analogue style synths, pulsing arpeggios, strong electronic drums, deep bass, soaring lead melodies and cinematic textures complete with a poignant vocoder vocal that resonates throughout. This is not just a synth track, but a full cinematic ride: exhilarating, emotional, dramatic, and unforgettable, with enough dynamic development to justify its full-length runtime. 

"It feels like the part of me, I've always been searching for..."

NIGHTS IN ATHENS (NIA)

Tina Boleti is the name behind the Dark synth outfit Night in Athens (NIA). 

She emerged from the DIY London punk scene in 2020, where she used to be a keyboardist in bands. Based in her East London room during the COVID-19 lockdown of 2020, NIA began experimenting with electronic music writing and producing “to exorcise her demons”. 

METROPOLIS was the debut EP in 2021. The songs contain that dark electro that swings along the circuit with punk, darkwave, and coldwave. She continued releasing recordings like 2022s CRIME SEEN which is a proto minimal-synth cult mixed with the analog synthwave tribe while also focusing on the preachings of the electroclash, across. 

In a short span of less than two years, NIA has played more than 40 gigs across Europe and has supported bands like the Covenant, Buzz Kull, Kontravoid, Harsh Symmetry, Kris Baha, and many more. 

Pressrelease:

"Requiem Mécanique" explores themes of vanishing, remembering, and the unpredictability of loss. The song combines cold mechanical rhythms with an undercurrent of tenderness, based around sparse synth textures, analogue 808 drum-machine patterns, and eerie vocals.

An ephemeral radio voice sample from the 1958 documentary "Have I Told You Lately that I Love You" might be heard near the song's outset, providing a glimpse into a bygone era of human connection. The voice is part of a larger reflection on the persistence of universal human emotions like closeness and distance against the background of contemporary electronic art. 

"Requiem Mécanique" is OUT NOW!!! through Artoffact Records

XOTOX

If you like it industrial, the German constellation of XOTOX released an three track EP on October 2.

"Wir Hatten Doch Träume" contains three track beside the titletrack, we have "Cherophobia" and "Hypnose", amazing that one, love it, my favourite on this EP, with it´s cinematic and dreamy sound, the EP is out NOW on Infacted Recordings. 

XOTOX is a German solo musical project that playing power noise, industrial, and EBM (Electronic Body Music). Andreas Davids founded this act back in 1998, and he discribe his music, Industrial for hyperactive people. 

Pressrelease: 

We once had dreams and longings that we shared with each other that night. Where have they gone? They have been drowned out by emotional noise, fading into a pale gray. What if we can never be happy again? 

"Wir hatten doch Träume" ("we used to have dreams") tells the story of all the memories and dreams that such a night evokes—and just as quickly lets vanish. XOTOX skillfully blends emotion with rhythm, noise, and yearning melodies that conjure up images from these memories.
