Released as the May full moon arrives, the latest track from GÖRL – the duo of Robert Görl and Sylvie Marks – continues their post-DAF collaboration. The title track from their new album, it is moody, atmospheric, and primed with classic EBM energy. It’s sure to bring the werewolves out onto the dancefloor.
Track of the Day
Dina Summer, the Berlin-based project uniting Local Suicide with Kalipo, operate in the overlap between dark disco, EBM, and minimal wave. “Fuel” is a controlled track that prioritise functions over colour. The track bridges darker Italo and industrial-adjacent material without forcing a shift in energy – holding the floor through restraint rather than impact.
Some light pop for summer driving from Denmark’s ISSE. “Tæller Lygtepæle” [EN: “Counting Lamposts”] is the latest single from the project of Isse Sandorf Uth Jacobsen, who was named “Årets Danske Pop Talent” [EN: “Danish Pop Talent of the Year”] in 2018 and continues to offer sweet pop sounds.
Triggered by a romantic moment, the song is intended to capture the lingering feeling as street lights pass by on the journey home. It feels intimate, low-lit, and tentative, but the glow in the dark is internal as well as external.
ISSE is lining up dates for those in the area:
- Skive, Denmark – 6 June 2026
- Silkeborg, Denmark – 26 September 2026
The first EP from Jana Komaritsa (Darkrad) as Die in Eclipse develops her love for techno, EBM, and darkwave. The EP features remixes by iszoloscope, Antigen Shift, Cervello Elettronico, HORROH, and Spherical Disrupted.
Jana notes:
Die in Eclipse sound is erotic, eerie, and pulsating with raw magnetic energy. It is a dark dance of lust and sorrow, pleasure and pain, desire and void.
Sheffield’s Randloph & Mortimer is one person, rather than two. Taking his art name from the lead characters in Trading Places, Sam Evans makes hard-edged dance music with a touch of the 80s sound.
This remix features the talents of the Fleish artist, Neu Romancer, and Radondo (another Brit). With Berlin- style synths and Hooky-influenced bass, it’s like Brexit never happened.
The Read & Burn era of Wire gave birth to an unusual song that ran for almost ten minutes. For a band that was prepared to stop a piece as soon as their point was made, “23 Years Too Late” stood out. Graham Lewis introduced the track with poetry informed by a passage through the 90s and psychedelia. The band’s taught, electro-grunge production then took a turn for a cycle that was just shorter than a Wagner opera.
Wire always present the unexpected. So it is that they offer a “24 Years Later Edit,” complete with a video assembled from the forthcoming documentary, People in a Film. The vinyl version appears on Record Store Day.
Dave Baker’s Lonelyklown project returns with an 8-bit vibe. Were you expecting a future filled with robot maids and flying cars? Sorry, the best we can offer is a ten-step password reset. Did you think your relationship was going to last? Check the empty space in your bed. Holding out for the afterlife? Ummm… Fortran 5 suggested we look to the future; Lonelyklown offers a more measured focus on the present.
