Artoffact Records presents digital-only re-releases of the entire Individual Totem collection!

One of the most anticipated comebacks in recent years has certainly been that of the German duo Individual Totem who released their excellent album Mothfly on Artoffact worldwide in 2007. That album, as well as its companion disc WWW, catapulted Totem back into the industrial scene leaving fans in awe.

Individual Totem self-released their first CD in 1994. Aspects Of Theories And Reality is long out of print but is now available again as a digital-only release, exclusively from Artoffact Records. Fans interested in the early days of the band can now experience the first 10 Totem tracks from their favourite digital store, or directly at the Artoffact Store. What to expect on Aspects Of Theories And Reality? Industrial experimentation in the spirit of early Skinny Puppy or Klinik, a brilliant fusion of synth and psychology, and simply honest work. Scanning Instructions is one of those tracks that would certainly have been a hit had Totem been on a label in the early 90s, and a track like 21st Century shows exactly why this band became the classic it is today.

Aspects Of Theories And Reality is the missing piece of the Totem puzzle and reveals much about the band’s early days. Available as a digital download April 29th, 2008.

Artoffact Records, in collaboration with Storming the Base and Kinetik Productions present: KINETIK FESTIVAL VOLUME 1, a double-CD compilation showcasing the artists, producers, and DJs performing at the first Kinetik Festival in Montreal, Canada on May 15th, 16th, and 17th, 2008.

Complementing the festival’s four-Phase concept, the Kinetik Festival compilation is divided into four sections:

Phase 1 // Electro

Devoted to electro sounds, Phase 1 gives us DJ Mini’s infectious beats, an exclusive cut from electro-clasher Ascii.Disko, and the always in-your-face The Horrorist.

Phase 2 // Industrial-Harsh EBM

The second Phase is devoted to industrial and harsh EBM, including contributions from well-known artists such as Funker Vogt, Kiew, and Rabia Sorda as well as exclusive tracks from Headscan, Memmaker, Distorted Memory, and Cenotype.

Phase 3 // Industrial-Noise-IDM

More experimental and demanding, the third Phase is an exposé of avant-garde and conceptual music, starting from ground-breaking artists such as Feindflug, This Morn’ Omina, and Sonar, and including newer artists who are bending the rules and making waves in the scene. We have contributions from Terrorfakt, Empusae, Mono No Aware, Tonikom, and more. There are also exclusive tracks from Xotox, Iszloscope, and Displacer, making this the perfect collector’s item!

Phase 4 // Techno-Hardcore

Rounding out this collection is Phase 4, a nod to the influence of techno and hardcore on the electronic music world with contributions from Lenny Dee and Satronica. Both tracks are essential and speak not only to the vision of the Kinetik Festival’s organizers, but to the variety of music available on this collection.

Artoffact Bonus

Both CDs also feature exclusive bonus tracks from artists on the Artoffact Records label. You will hear new material from Run Level Zero, Colony 5, Blank, and Individual Totem, as well as previews of upcoming releases from Massiv in Mensch (featuring Mind.In.A.Box), ex-Haujobb member Standeg, and Canadian-American artist Kobold.

The Kinetik festival wants to be a reflection of electronic music and its evolution during the last 25 years. Artoffact Records gives you a piece of that magic to take home. Released April 29th, 2008.

You are now in the Impact Zone. Move.

The Italian EBM duo Blank is back, and this new stuff is killer. So killer, in fact, that we are giving away Sick And Dead, one of the many adrenaline pumping songs you will find on Impact Zone, their second album. This album is one of those giant shots in the air, and the near four-year wait between this and their last album has been definitely made worthwhile. The immense intensity of Impact Zone speaks for itself. Tracks like Persistence with its crazy synthy hook, Counterfeit with its tight melodies and infectious rhythm, or Puressence with new and exciting vocal styles — every song is priceless.

What has Blank been doing since 2004? Perfecting their craft. For sure. A few shows were played, sure they remixed Unter Null, DavaNtage, XP8, Neikka RPM, and others. They appeared on several compilations worldwide and garnered excellent reviews, a large fan-base, and solid club-play. Mostly, perfecting their craft. It’s not good enough that you bust your body on the dancefloor or sweat till you’ve soaked your shirt through. It’s just not good enough.

MORE BODY, MORE SWEAT. It is after all the Impact Zone.

This outrageously good album is available on Artoffact Records on March 4th, 2008.

Since 2005’s release of Cabaret’s brilliant Homophobia album, the band has been touring Poland and playing both acoustic and electronic shows, supporting the likes of Alphaville, meeting fans and making friends. 2008 marks the return of Cabaret as they enter the studio to record what will no doubt be a brilliant second album. We cannot wait!

Rain On My Skin marks the culmination of the Homophobia era for Cabaret, a sending off if you will. The digital-only EP features four mixes of Rain On My Skin, including the band’s own tribute to their loveable label on The Art Of Rain Is A Fact mix. The single ends with My Digital Dark Lullaby, a thick and dense electronic track reminiscent of Tangerine Dream.

Rain On My Skin is released February 12th, 2008, worldwide on Artoffact Records. You can hear more clips and talk to the band on their Myspace here: Cabaret Myspace.
