Oxygene – alive and kicking – Jarre concert report
Live in Stockholm – Release Magazine report
Now this is something that I never would have expected to see. Jean Michel Jarre, the undisputed king of grandiose stage shows on a tour of small venues, where everything is performed live without computers. The reason for this unusual move is the 30th anniversary of the groundbreaking “Oxygene” album. Jarre decided that is was time for a new master recording in high definition audio, but at the same time he also performed the whole album live, together with three musicians. This was recorded and released as a DVD; “Oxygene – Live in Your Living Room” and it’s this performance that is now taken out on the road.
MachineKUNT – new exciting female electro label
MachineKUNT is a new record label for female noise, electronic, and industrial musicians. Our mission is to encourage women all over the world to create electronic music. MachineKUNT was founded by Rachel (Experiment Haywire) who noticed we were strongly missing the element of independent females in the darker subcultures. She created MachineKUNT so she could connect with people: both musicians and listeners: who were ready to bring on some change.
MachineKUNT is ready for its first explosion with the upcoming release of its first compilation “Extreme Women in the Dark Future” featuring Chiasm, Neikka RPM, Noizekatt, Eva 3, Experiment Haywire, Aluminum Voyage, and Genocidio 1968 just to name a few.

Firefox AK – Singer/song writer goes electro/synthpop – NICE!!
Make sure to check her out and support her new electro album which from a pure electro music perspective has a very nice production going and the choice of sounds is really nice. Maybe a bit too sweet for many of you, but then again at some time point you will need to do some chilling when the EBM smoke has faded..
Btw It seems that her stay in Berlin has made some impressions – to the better, hehe
