Hamburg-based industrial rock pioneers KMFDM have forged their own singular path since being founded by Sascha ‘Käpt’n K’ Konietzko in 1984, continually refining and redefining the parameters of modern music while also never missing an opportunity to address the social and political zeitgeist in brazen, belligerent and boisterous fashion. ‘HYËNA’ is the 22nd studio album from these quality purveyors of what Konietzko calls The Ultra Heavy Beat, and what title could be more appropriate as his band laughs mockingly at the current frayed and frantic state of world affairs? Driven by the vicious and virulent vocal onslaught of Konietzko and Lucia Cifarelli, the aural and angular guitar wizardry of Andee Blacksugar and the forceful percussive thrust of Andy Selway, ‘HYËNA’ blasts through the speakers with the force of a napalm airstrike. From the hip-thrusting swagger of ‘BLACK HOLE’, the in-your-face industrial rock of ‘LIQUOR FISH & CIGARETTES’ and the funky hip-hop overtones of ‘ROCK ’N’ ROLL MONSTER’, to the punky thrash metal fury of ‘BLINDFACE’, the sardonic blackgrass whimsy of ‘DELUDED DESPERATE DANGEROUS & DUMB’ and the irresistibly danceable electro of ‘HYËNA’ itself; KMFDM remains as vital as ever, never afraid to assimilate any musical style while keeping their lyrical talons sharpened and poised to strike against any and all injustice. Several members of the extended KMFDM family also return to leave their indelible marks on ‘HYËNA’, including guitarist Jules Hodgson, rapper Andrew ‘Ocelot’ Lindsley and Bruce Breckenfeld on the Hammond B3. In addition, Sissy Misfit adds a decidedly venomous digital hardcore flavour to ‘ALL WRONG - BUT ALRIGHT’, leaving Kumar Bent to close us out with a familiar yet fresh dub take on KMFDM classic ‘IN DUB WE TRUST’. ‘HYËNA’ is a maniacal laugh in the face of all those maniacs who assume control, desperately trying to convince you that what you see, what you hear, what you read is not real – don’t you believe it! Nearly four decades on, KMFDM continues to keep it real for you as ‘HYËNA’ proves to be among the group’s leanest and meanest efforts, feeding fuel to the fury! facebook.com/officialkmfdm metropolis-records.com German alternative rock newcomers Breathe Atlantis recently released the first single off their new album Soulmade. The single 'My Supernova' was launched alongside a video and in a trailer released today, the band give fans a behind the scenes glance at how the video all came together. Watch the making of 'My Supernova' here: youtu.be/hOtZ4fhz9lQ The new album will be released on the 25th of January 2019 via Arising Empire.

The lyrics have 100% come straight out of my soul, showing the spiritual abyss hiding within." The band recently released their own special take on Snow Patrol's song 'Chasing Cars'. Watch the video here: youtu.be/L3NeGCueQsg Breathe Atlantis are: Nico Schiesewitz | vocals Joschka Basteck | guitar Jan Euler | bass Markus Harazim | drums Amber Arcades, the alias of Annelotte De Graaf, today shares a brand new track entitled “Goodnight Europe”, which is available now via Heavenly Recordings. This is the first music since the Dutch-born musician released her critically debut album Fading Lines in 2016 followed by the Cannonball EP last June. The track is available to stream and share via Spotify HERE. Annelotte said the following about the track: "I guess about half of it is me actually being worried about the current state of the Union. The other half is me kind of messing around with, and making fun of, this archetype of the tiresome existentialist academic in me." Also shared today is a short film directed by Elliott Arndt (http://www.elliottarndt.com/) starring Annelotte, which hints at upcoming news of a second album. This video is part 1 of 3 and features Amber Arcades’ new single, “Goodnight Europe”. Director Elliott Arndt says of the film: "A lot of the themes Annelotte wrote about for her record struck very close to home. What I found especially poignant in her lyrics is how it’s mostly through a study of herself and a nonchalant look outside her window that Annelotte makes us get a sense of the political turmoil that’s affecting her. In that respect, I was interested in trying to represent this sense of “banality” in a young adult couple in 2018, who are not only the fruit of a vibrant European Union, but also perhaps the ones most directly affected by its dismantling. I wanted to depict a static, homesick, glitchy romance. And here it is, trying all it can to grow against, amongst and beyond the constricting geographical barriers surrounding it.” Watch and share the short film HERE. Amber Arcades will also be performing live in the UK and Europe this summer with a London show at Omeara on June 7th 2018. Full live dates are as follows with UK shows in bold: June 4 – 7: Beaches Brew Festival, Marina Di Ravenna, Italy June 6: Le Pop-Up Du Label, Paris, France June 7: Omeara, London, UK June 13: Kantine am Bergain, Berlin, Germany June 14: EKKO, Utrecht, Netherlands July 21: Bluedot Festival, Macclesfield, UK August 17: Green Man Festival, Crickhowell, UK September 7: Festival No. 6, Minffordd, UK http://www.amberarcades.net https://www.facebook.com/AmberArcades/ https://soundcloud.com/amber-arcades/ https://twitter.com/AmberArcades Sony Classical is pleased to announce the signing of renowned German pianist and composer Volker Bertelmann - known as Hauschka - in a new long-term recording contract. The first fruits of this collaboration will herald a return of the artist to his musical origins with an album of melodic solo piano works. The album will be released in early 2019. A composer, songwriter and experimental musician, Hauschka is known as one of today’s leading exponents of prepared piano music. In recent years he has also built a prolific career writing scores for films, coming to international prominence in this field through his soundtrack for the hit film Lion in 2016. Scored in collaboration with Dustin O’Halloran, the soundtrack was nominated for numerous awards including an Academy Award, Golden Globe and BAFTA. Hauschka discovered the prepared piano shortly after the release of his first solo album Substantial and the instrument has been an integral part of his compositional endeavours ever since. His impressive catalogue lies testament to his extensive exploration of possibilities on this instrument, ranging from the spontaneous improvisations of The Prepared Piano (2005), to the electronic sound-worlds of What If (2017). Ever prolific, Hauschka has worked on numerous other projects throughout the last decade, most notably in the fields of film, theatre, dance and classical ensemble works. His recent soundtrack work, in addition to Lion, includes the films In Dubious Battle (2016), Exodus (2016) & Praia do Futuro; music for the new US TV mini-series Patrick Melrose starring Benedict Cumberbatch. He also founded Düsseldorf‘s annual Piano Approximation Festival, which features an always-imposing line-up of internationally renowned experimental artists. Collaborators along the way have included Calexico’s Joey Burns and John Convertino, violinist Hilary Hahn, the Alma Quartet, mandolin player Avi Avital, cellists Nicolas Altstaedt and Jeffrey Zeigler (formerly of the Kronos Quartet) and drummer Samuli Kosminen from Icelandic band múm. In recent years, Hauschka has also composed music for classical orchestras, ensembles and soloists such as the MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra, where he was Composer in Residence, Folkwang Chamber Orchestra as well as members of the Munich Philharmonic. Volker Bertelmann says: “I am very proud to announce that I will release my next record with Sony Classical. With this record, I am going full circle and will return to my musical roots, where my music preserves the purity of piano in its natural form. I will continue to explore prepared piano with my existing labels, but my music with Sony will be an expansion of my musical expression.” Managing Director Sony Classical International Per Hauber says: “Volker’s sound musical knowledge and background enabled him to develop his own musical language, which in addition to his great successes as a film music composer, also made him one of the most innovative and sought-after composers of a new and vital classical music scene. At Sony Classical, we look forward with great curiosity and excitement to our joint projects with Volker.” Volker Bertelmann/Hauschka is managed by Redbird Music: http://redbirdmusic.com Jay-Z and Beyoncé are joining forces for the newly announced OTR II stadium tour.

Purchase / Stream Wasteland: https://fanlink.to/wasteland https://facebook.com/voicians https://twitter.com/voicians Starting 2018 with a bang, LCAW has revealed a brand new song ‘Hummingbird’ featuring pop superstar Sophie Ellis-Bextor. The song is out now via Columbia Germany / Ultra Music. ‘Hummingbird’ is the first single to be taken from LCAW’s debut EP ‘Meet in the Middle’, which will be released in March. The EP features all new music. Further details to be announced in due course. LCAW is the alias of Munich native Leon Weber. The 23 year old began his journey in classical music, growing up in a family of musicians and training as a Cellist and Pianist before developing into a renowned electronic producer. LCAW’s unique blend of pop and dance music has gained him support from the likes of Odesza, Martin Garrix, Robin Schulz, and Felix Jaehn. He has also turned in acclaimed remixes for the likes of London Grammar, Parov Stelar, Asaf Avidan, Fritz Kalkbrenner, Marlon Roudette, ZHU and many others. After his remixes generated more than 60 million plays on Soundcloud and YouTube, LCAW released his debut single ‘Painted Sky’ in 2016 and achieved a top 50 placement in the German airplay charts. Follow up singles ‘Man in the Moon (ft. Dagny)’, ‘Staring at the Sun (ft. Sophie Hintze)’, ’Nobody Else But You’ and ‘Desires (ft. WhoMadeWho)’ have subsequently seen him attain more than 10 million total plays worldwide, with an army of followers and fans. ‘Hummingbird’ is the result of a London studio session with Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Originally, LCAW had intended a different song for Sophie to perform, but when hearing some of the demos he’d been working on for the EP, Sophie immediately connected with another instrumental work-in-progress. LCAW said: “Hummingbird is a very personal track with a more downbeat vibe, I think this is one of the main reasons Sophie instantly felt connected to it. Her voice has such a unique character and she added a whole other dimension to what I had made before we met. We had the recording session in a small studio in Notting Hill which hosted writing sessions for the likes of Adele, James Blunt and Lana Del Rey and it felt like there was a very special atmosphere” “‘Hummingbird’ will mark the start of a fresh style for my music in 2018, a modern approach to disco & funk infused dance music and I’m very happy that Sophie is part of it. Putting together my debut EP has been an incredibly exciting time for me and I can’t wait for you to hear the results!” Sophie Ellis-Bextor said: “It was great to work with Leon who I think is very talented. We had a brilliant session and I am so happy with the way Hummingbird has turned out. It’s always exciting making new dance music and I can’t wait for everyone to hear it” Sophie Ellis-Bextor shot to fame as a vocalist on Spiller’s huge number one single ‘Groovejet' and then followed it up with ‘Take Me Home’ and her worldwide smash hit, ‘Murder on the Dancefloor'. Her solo debut album, ‘Read My Lips’ was released in 2001 and reached number two in the UK Albums Chart and certified double platinum by the BPI. The album sold more than 2 million copies worldwide. Her subsequent album releases include Shoot from the Hip (2003), Trip the Light Fantastic (2007), Make a Scene (2011). 2014’s singer/songwriter release ‘Wanderlust’ with Ed Harcourt at the helm as Co-writer and Producer was a critical and commercial, success certified Gold and spending 3 weeks in the UK top 10 album chart spawning the hit single ‘Young Blood’. Sophie followed this release and collaboration with 2016’s ‘Familia’ which saw her return to the dance floor with the radio hit ‘Come With Us’. ‘Hummingbird’ is available here: https://LCAW.lnk.to/Hummingbird Big news as the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest is taking shape.
