Digging is always a wonderful experience: some shop’s releases are sorted by genre (Sound Metaphors), artist or labels (Hardwax). It’s always good so have them in mind but it’s more fun exploring especially w/ listening stations. Met up with some label heads at Furanum Records with Dominik Müller & Kontralamakina.

I know it’s a touristy 😉shot but it’s a meaningful moment. Solid sets and danced all night 🕺🏻sharing good times with friends ☺️

We had a lot of fun at the Independent Record Exchange presented by Onyx Record Pressing, 6AM Group, ArtistMap, Groover’s Ball, & Igneous Records. The event was a success with great engagement and interest. It was a great vibe with everyone interacting. It was cool to see people not familiar with our music but were drawn in by the artwork. It was heart warming talking about our producers, their music and the artists of the artwork. Hope this will be the first of many. Special thanks to my better half Betty🖤 for helping me with my booth and @nickv.la for our very own producer on-site.

In the moment @noctis_la playing the dark tunes for the heavenly bodies…

July 5th (my 🎂🤫) I will have the honor to play my favorites for Noctis LA LA’s Premiere Dark Alternative Danse Klub Djs Virtigo and Frankie Macchia ( Coven 13) and Spheric Djs will be playing a Mix of New Wave, Goth, Industrial and Modern Electronics 21+ FREE before 11pm $10 after at Mals bar. #lagothmusic #darkwavelosangeles #losangelesnewwave #noctisla

We are proud to announce our first release for 2025. Nick Viola- A Ghost In Your World. The release contains 4 original tracks and two diverse remixes by Kenny Campbell and Substencia. As always, full purchase of release will also include a special bonus track. Track Order List: a1. A Ghost In Your World a2. It’s Still Real a3. A Ghost In Your World (Kenny Campbell Remix) b1. Drop Out b2. Negative Nancy b3. Drop Out (Substencia Remix) Digital bonus Track: c1. Tensor Written + Produced by: Nick Viola Mastered by: @timvitekmastering Artwork: @permiandesigns Design by: Elaine Stam @universe_dsn Video by: @termsect_ About EP: This album represents a significant evolution in the musical journey of Nick Viola, transitioning from the powernoise and heavy industrial sounds of his previous project, Fractured Transmission, into a techno-framed landscape. Spanning seven tracks, including remixes, the album features recurring sounds sourced from machinery, field recordings, and personal travels. These elements create an uneasy atmosphere oscillating between slight discomfort and absolute dread, offering a dystopian sonic experience fitting for the times we unfortunately live in. The opening track, ‘A Ghost in Your World,’ sets an intense tone with distorted atmospheres and ‘It’s Still Real’ follows with a relentless pulse and swirling mechanical sounds, seamlessly flowing into Kenny Campbell’s remix of ‘A Ghost In Your World’, providing a cathartic release for the A side. ‘Drop Out,’ guides listeners on a psychedelic journey into the B side of the record, while ‘Negative Nancy’ ramps up the energy with an aggressive industrial techno assault offering an antagonistic jab at the current trend within the genre. Substencia’s remix of ‘Drop Out’ delves deeper into psychedelia, offering an immersive trance-like experience relieving the tension of ‘Negative Nancy’. The digital-only bonus track, ‘Tensor,’ maintains the album’s heavy industrial techno feel of a well oiled machine, ready to pummel any underground sound system. #technoindustrial #newtechno #losangelestechno #industrialtechno #noisetechno

Out now is our 5th release on Venaeform Records by The Fifth Stigma called Shielded by Thorns. This is a very special release that contains 4 original moving tracks along with 7 notable remixes from producers Surit, Low Order, Nigh/T\mare, Boyd Schidt, Crystal Geometry, 3.14 and Hypnoskull. This release is available in digital, limited vinyl, and limited cassette. The vinyl release contains selected tracks (check description for track list), and the cassette release which contains all tracks. Reminiscences of a past that never was. This new chapter is a narration of an oneiric tragedy/drama (at the apogee of a realm?) about risking it all to overthrow the throne. Glory, Disgrace, wealth, ambition, misfortune, loss. Put down the mighty from their seats, exalt the lowly in a utopian new order. Out now.
