ALENIS

We have Tuesday and time to check out some of the new releases from last week and New Music Friday. 

First up is the Italian artist Alenis with the EP "Another World" that is out now through Retro Reverb Records. 

I get a bit of a Kim Wilde vibe on the EP, she even reminds me a bit of Kim sometimes with her look. 

About Alenis: 

Alenis is a dynamic Sicilian singer and artist hailing from Palermo, Italy. Since 2019, she has been a regular collaborator with synthwave label Retro Reverb Records. 

Pressrelease: 

A vibrant neon glow pulses from the speakers as Alenis transports you to “Another World” with her debut EP on Retro Reverb Records. Produced by Alex Vecchietti, these five tracks are a masterclass in modern synthpop, blending the genre's nostalgic warmth with a contemporary edge. 

Through Alenis' unique and intimate vocal style, she offers a lyrical roadmap for the 21st-century woman, navigating the complexities of life, love, and self-discovery. Each song is a shimmering, synth-driven story a testament to resilience and the pursuit of one's own truth. "Another World" is more than just an EP; it's a sonic journey and a celebration of finding your place in the universe.

A PROJECTION + REMIXES

Before lunch, time for a EP from the Swedish Post Punk band A PROJECTION. 

"Exit - 10 Years" is the new EP from the group. 

Pressrelease: 

"The Stockholm band A Projection celebrates the 10th anniversary of their debut album EXIT with a collection of remixes by Agent Side Grinder, JE T'AIME, Aux animaux and The Mystic Underground. 

This EP contains both hardcore Darkwave and other styles such as clubby Dance and smoky Dub, all with distinct strains of Post Punk! 

About A PROJECTION: 

The Stockholm based A PROJECTION started in 2013 with the ambition to be a true post punk band. The main influences were groups like The Cure, Joy Division/New Order, Sisters Of Mercy, Interpol and Editors. Electronic acts like Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, D.A.F. and The Knife were also important influences for the band. 

The A PROJECTION sound has been described as "a danceable mixture of post punk and electronica, with both depth and edge, bright colors and darkness". This description still holds today.

S Y Z Y G Y X

New week ahead of us and my first official day of my summer vacation. 

One of the album I have listened to this weekend is the new album "Sinner" from S Y Z Y G Y X, the synth based project of Luna Blanc from Washington, US. 

The album is one of last weeks new releases on New Music Friday, out now through COLD TRANSMISSION MUSIC. 

Pressrelease: 

An album four years in the making. It tells a story of growth, a story of life, loss, love, tears, laugh, heartbreak. 

And so we spend our days sinning. The sin of being happy in a world filled with sadness, the sin of moving on from pain while others can’t, the sin of feeling sad in a world filled with love, the sin of loving how we want and who we want. The many mistakes we make, the sins we might commit, are part of growth, or life, or being human. I believe imperfection makes beauty. This album was for me, and now, it’s for you. 

The party in Hell shall be fun; I’ll bring the music! 

The album contains 16 tracks, so lots of entertainment there, begins with "Golden Boy" a bit dark and moody but then the album accelarate track by track and I get an enjoyable feeling of darkness and tightness. Well produced and you really feel the 4 years production time of the album. 

If you wanna do it properly that´s the way to go, not B-songs, covercrap like David Guetta that dropping 10 new tracks on a week, no, this is QUALITY!!!

I like the songs that is a bit more uptempo, the electronic dance makes you wanna dance along on the desk. Darksynth and Darkwave with small elements of EBM when it´s the best. 

The singles "Climax", "Sylph" and the latest "Stranger" is not the best from the album for me personally but they are for sure on the top tracks of the album. If you are DJ you gonna like "Snake & Poison" and "Uncoerced" due to the typical underground clubsound. 

The album makes me happy in a dark way, not many bad songs here, and I enjoyed every minute of the album, definitely worth a place on the best albums lately. 

Check out the videos of "Climax", "Sylph" and "Stranger" aswell. 

My favourites of the album: "Unsedated/Complicated" and "Ruby Red" 

I give the album 4,5 of 5 espressos.

Pressrelease: 

This feeling is my life. Not a love story – but the story of what it left behind. It cuts deep. But it makes me real. It changed everything. 

What started as a melancholic goodbye turned into a powerful, emotional anthem – about connection, memory, and becoming who you truly are. ASSKICKIN' ELECTRO with a vulnerable heart – raw emotion, born of longing.

FRONTAL BOUNDARY + AD:KEY + UNTER NULL

Alfa Matrix is one of my personal favourite labels with many great artists. The Belgian label have been active since 2001 and has become a trademark for underground electronic music. 

Let us do a three songs post, all of the songs came out July 25 and from Alfa Matrix.
Frontal Boundary - "Hate EP" / Industrial, Dark Electro, EBM. 

Pressrelease: 

Brace yourself for a full-frontal sonic assault as FRONTAL BOUNDARY unleash “Hate”, the explosive new EP that marks the band’s first strike from their upcoming full-length album “Failure” – and also celebrates their signing to leading electro-industrial label Alfa Matrix, home to genre-defining acts like FRONT 242, UNTER NULL, POUPPEE FABRIKK, ALIEN VAMPIRES or yet KOMOR KOMMANDO. 

With “Hate”, FRONTAL BOUNDARY channel raw aggression and emotional turmoil into a blistering EBM/industrial anthem. “This track voices the fury felt toward those who constantly try to keep you down”, explains vocalist Krz Souls. Brendin Ross (ex-BILE, ex-INVA//ID, Dawn of Ashes, and Bornless Fire), the band’s founding member and instrumental powerhouse behind FRONTAL BOUNDARY is indeed joined by Krz Souls (ex-INVA//ID, Dawn of Ashes, Bornless Fire) on vocals and Jaysen Craves (Livernois) on synths. Melding fire and ice, chaos and control, FRONTAL BOUNDARY’s signature sound fuses dense industrial rhythms, driving EBM beats, dark melodic leads, and infectious synthpop textures – topped with harsh, emotional vocals that sometimes veer into future pop territory. Fans of SUICIDE COMMANDO, C-LEKKTOR, COMBICHRIST, LEAETHER STRIP and ROTERSAND will feel right at home. 

The “Hate” EP also includes club-destroying remixes by American industrial force FACT PATTERN and cult Alfa Matrix label-mate UNTER NULL, adding new layers of intensity to an already volatile release. 

“Hate” is not just a song – it’s a statement. 

Welcome to FRONTAL BOUNDARY. Resistance is futile.

AD:KeY - "Kontraktion EP" / Dark Electro, EBM, Synthpop 

Pressrelease: 

Following the emotional impact and critical acclaim of their double album “0609”, German EBM duo AD:KEY return with a powerful new EP that beats straight from the heart: “Kontraktion” on which they continue shining new light on album tracks, offering exclusive fresh versions and unreleased songs that expand on its concept of emotional and musical fusion. 

Framed by the instrumental pieces “Kontraktion V.01” (Prolog) and “Kontraktion V.02” (Epilog) – two synth-driven tracks inspired by the rhythmic contraction of the heart, symbolizing the album’s theme of heart fusion, the EP pulses with heart and energy. It also includes the “Prelude Mix” of “Bad Times Pass By”, originally created as a live intro, that turns into a powerful track about personal struggle and overcoming doubt. 

AD:KEY also welcome two legendary EBM voices: Martin Bodewell (ORANGE SECTOR) lends lyrics and vocals to the emotional “Mein Herz”, while Uwe Kanka (ARMAGEDDON DILDOS) adds his trademark power to the infectious single “Fühl Den Beat” – a tribute to shared roots and long-standing friendships. 

This new EP blends strong beats, emotional depth, and scene solidarity. Catchy, direct, and full of body music power, it is another strong step forward in AD:KEY’s ongoing evolution. 

With “Kontraktion”, AD:KEY once again prove their ability to blend old-school body music with synth pop elements and emotional storytelling, while surrounding themselves with the very artists who helped shape the scene. 

Feel the beat. Hear the heart. 

“Kontraktion” is here.

Unter Null - "You Made A Monster EP" / Dark Electro, Female Electro, Industrial 

Pressrelease: 

After smashing expectations with her previous single and reigniting the fire of UNTER NULL, Erica Dunham returns with a vengeance. Her new EP, “You Made A Monster”, is a brutal, no-holds-barred confrontation with trauma, betrayal, and the silent complicity that empowers abusers. 

Fueled by raw emotion and cutting honesty, the title track is a devastating dark elektro anthem built from real-life scars. It drags narcissistic abuse and its enablers into the harsh light, pulling no punches: “You knew what he did / You knew of his lies / You gave up your morals for your motherfucking pride.” This is not a song of defeat - it’s a battle cry. A reclaiming of power. A voice for the erased. 

“I wrote this because I was tired of being erased”, says Erica. “It’s for anyone who has screamed the truth into a void while everyone else nodded along with the abuser”. 

Also featured is the haunting yet defiant “Coming Up To Breathe”, reimagined as well in three powerful remixes: C-LEKKTOR brings his signature dark pulse, LEAETHER STRIP injects classic EBM fire with a melodic touch, and rising force FRONTAL BOUNDARY adds a fierce modern twist. 

“You Made A Monster” is not just an EP. It’s a statement. It’s UNTER NULL - louder, stronger, and more intentional than ever. 

Play it loud. Feel every word. And never be silent again.
