Z’EV has been around since the early days of industrial and has worked with a plethora of artists and labels over the years. ‘Rhythmajik’ features 32 tracks, and none is longer than three minutes, in fact most are well under two minutes in length.

Vague and unclassified are fitting descriptions for the music of Dustmuffin & The Aluminum Cans. This US based loose collective uses any sound they like to produce their weird anti-pop music and neo cabaret electroclash.

This mysterious duo from Venice has produced a lot of obscure and limited releases on tape, vinyl and cd-r since the early 90’s. This untitled album (their first ‘real’ cd) is limited to 666 copies and includes a satanic tale and surreal drawings in the booklet.

Mute Bell Extinction Process features three tracks of original Nurse With Wound material that has been worked over by Irr.App.(Ext)- otherwise know as Matt Waldron. This release is the third installment of Nurse With Wound’s Angry Eelectric Finger series.

If you think you have heard strange music then listen to this record and think again. Severin Bestombes is a side project by one Novy Svet member and the record consists of two long tracks.

Lumottu Karkkipurkki means ‘The Enchanted Candy Jar’, which is a very psychedelic title for a very psychedelic record. The songs and sound collages on this album are built around vague electronic sounds, loops and melodies and dissonant plucked strings.
