So it's like this: I find a lot of new stuff via satellite radio, but the things that I like to seriously bounce (and write) to tend to come from the goth-industrial clubs that I spend a lot of time in. Unfortunately, since about May my travels have taken me to awful, Goth-forsaken places that are hundreds of miles from the nearest noise-fix, and that's not likely to change for a while. Can anyone recommend some stompy stuff that's surfaced in the past few months, so I can refresh the playlists a little? It's not that I'm enjoying Grendel's "Harsh Generation" any less, but variety is the spice of life and all...

This may be something of a stretch, but at the moment I'm in love with ZU. I've been listening to Carboniferous a lot, which has some strong electronic/industrial elements to it. Primarily, though, it's a lot of math/jazzy kind of stuff.
Another favourite of mine which might be stretching the 'electronic' classification are BATTLES. Although most of what they do is recorded with live instruments, they do a lot of looping and mixing, and some of it sounds very electronic in the end. Again, it can be a bit mathy, but it's probably more danceable than Zu. Along similar lines to Battles are HOLY FUCK - live instruments (including a lot of toys and found objects) fed through mixing decks and loops.

The most recent industrial albums I've enjoyed are the new Throbbing Gristle material and Somatic Responses latest. Hocico had something last year that was decent but only ever had a passing interest in the aggrotech/goth rave stuff. More into Skinny Puppy, TG, Front 242, Godflesh etc. As Krista said, Zu is also very cool but stretches the club-type stuff that I think you're asking for?

Emmymau — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 07:40:16 -0700

I think I'll check out Zu, Battles and Holy Fuck anyway; they sound interesting, danceable or not. Many thanks!

I'll second the REALICIDE recommendation. I played with R. Inhuman once long ago and he's a great guy and REALICIDE keeps getting better and better.

I'll third the Realicide recommendation. They have a ton of releases but the best to start with is Resisting The Viral Self.

Realicide Live @ my loft The vocals are a little high on the recording.

My band AMERICANS UK has some pretty industrial songs in ROCKTRONIC and ELECTRIC CLOSET. ZOMBIES ATTACK!!! and I, APE-MAN veer there too. You can download I, APE-MAN for free from our website: www.americans-uk.com, but ROCKTRONIC and ELECTRIC CLOSET are super industrial.

SMB are well worth checking out --danceable, stompy stuff. And the song "Smash TV" samples the movie Falling Down.

Someone else already mentioned HORSE the Band, but i'll second it.

Looking for new industrial/electro recommendations

Emmymau — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 07:37:10 -0700

@phill_sea: Sampling Falling Down has been done--Frontline Assembly has bits of that movie scattered all over the Millennium album. Sampling Johnny Dangerously--now that's genius.

Also, a second thanks for all of the recommendations. So much new stuff to sample! It's a good thing.

@emmymau

Time to blow all my (hahahahaha aaaaaaahahahahah) street cred:
I have no idea what "Johhn Dangerously" is, and thus don't know who sampled it. SMB?

Looking for new industrial/electro recommendations

Emmymau — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 13:29:35 -0700

Johnny Dangerously is a fabulous bit of 1980s Michael Keaton cheese. If one listens carefully, Run Level Zero samples it in "Under the Gun."

King Cannibal-Let The Night Roar

its dark, its distorted, its bass heavy, (in my mind) people who like industrial music should dig it. and if you like dubstep, D&B, or IDM you would probably like it too.

I've got to mention Aaron Spectre/Drumcorps. Very noisy, not industrial per se but has roots there as NIN is one of his main influences. Definitely something different.

http://www.myspace.com/drumc0rps

Full disclosure is that I work for Aaron**. Almost done recording an album of new stuff. We've got a gig in Lebanon Saturday where he'll be taking the opportunity to debut some of the new stuff.

I agree with who said Realicide . . Rob drove me and Aaron from SF to LA once and we really got to know him. Very very nice guy.

**The back catalogue is more or less out of print so Aaron is chill about downloading; if you can't find it via filesharing just let me know and I'll see what I can do.

I discovered Xykogen through Scott Deathboy's recommendation in his Livejournal. Some of it is kind of mellow compared to some of the other stuff on my playlists such as Interlace's album 'Under the Sky' - also recommended, but for different reasons. Some MP3's in their discography section.

The following is a good example of Xykogen:

James O'Dwyer — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 07:58:35 -0700

Also, because everyone has to hear this song at least once:
The infamous 'Revolution' by Deathboy, featuring vocal samples of Warren himself, and a brief cameo from Dylan Moran via Black Books episode 1.

It can be found here It's the seventh song there, titled (strangely enough) 'revolution'. It is a classy, catchy little song, and I love it to pieces.

Download and enjoy. Deathboy also has a lot of other cool stuff and he encourages people to download his music.

Polyfuse (from Chicago) has been on a tear lately w/ a massive industrial/acid album called No One Will Come To Save Us and has an ambient album out on saturday. (Both are free downloads from polyfuse.net)

Some preview clips of
Le Petite Le Mort
the whole album reminds me more and more of the instrumental passages of The Fragile crossed w/ classic Saskamoto.

And a live acid set from a few weeks back

Emmymau — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 08:57:11 -0800

A lot of what's listed falls outside the range, so to speak (not that this is a bad thing). What I'm looking for is stuff that falls into the range of Grendel, E-Craft, Rotersand, Run Level Zero, God Module, Aphemia and Angelspit. (And yet for some reason I don't like Combichrist. Anyway.)

Aslan Faction? Informatik? Project Pitchfork? Are those along the lines you mean? I used to spin the shit out of God Module-- Headscan and Aslan Faction mix really well with GM. Revolver1010 are good along those lines, too.

D.Miranda — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:00:51 -0800

Some albums that I've recently enjoyed:
Project.E.V.A.'s "Shake my pain"
Dolls of Pain's "Slavehunters"; they also have a new remix album downloadable for free. Didn't like it as much, though.
Plasmodivm's "Paradise under Fire"
Jabberwock's "Sweet Limbo"
Stahlschlag's "Antropocene"
Phosgore's "Domination"
[syndika:zero]'s "Blindness"
I spent most of last week lopping Ext!ze "FallOut Nation", which is mostly, I guess, some kind of trance industrial.
I'll definitively second Jeremiah on C/A/T.

On a more electro-ish note, I usually find that anything that comes out on the Ad Noiseam label is worth listening to; they had a couple recent releases, like Raoul Sinier's "Tremens industry".

Whenever I'm searching for new music, I pull out my iPhone and use the Pandora Radio app to create a new channel based on the the kind of music that I want. Recently I put in a search for new electro with a fast BPM (for bicyling to) based on Calvin Harris as a jumping-off point, and came down with these two CDs which I've been enjoying (neither of which seems to have broken in the US, though both have charted in Europe):

Frankmusik: Complete Me

La Roux

I wouldn't listen to either of them when I'm writing, but on the bike, Electro works out great.

@WilliamZombie: Thanks SO much for the mention of the Fixmer/McCarthy album! That slipped past me, and I just picked up the first one and a few tracks off the most recent one on iTunes; EXCELLENT STUFF.
Man, I really miss having a local record store to shoot the shit and find out about stuff in this way.
