This is a guest post by David Benoy, the man behind the renown Vampire Party events in Antwerp and Hivemind Productions which has a mail-order and which organizes events, road trips etc. DJ Hive started his DJ career in 1996, when he decided to start up VampireParty with some friends. His sets always include a mix of the best clubhits and the coolest new tracks! Since that time, it has evolved to be the biggest party in its genre in Belgium.
Over the years, DJ Hive has been a guest-DJ at various other parties in Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and the U.K., as well as several festivals, including EuroRock (BE), Summer Darkness (NL), Das Boot (DK), Blackfield (DE) and Amphi Festival (DE). He has also been responsible for after-parties at live shows of amongst others Combichrist, Covenant, Grendel, Suicide Commando, Hocico, VNV Nation and [:SITD:].
As a concert organizer, DJ Hive brought many bands to Belgium, often for the first time. The list includes Agonoize, Centhron, Faderhead, Heimataerde, Modulate, NOISUF-X, SAM, Solitary Experiments, Soman, Straftanz, Tactical Sekt, Xotox, [:SITD:], and many more.
"Was everybody really at Bassleader tonight?" or The End of a Scene
Everyone that has met me before knows that I am usually quite positively disposed towards this little place we all like to call home and which we have affectionately dubbed 'The Scene'.
For years and years, people in The Scene have been loudly proclaiming that The Scene is dying. They said it for all sort of reasons. They said it when VNV Nation hit The Scene, when EBM turned more and more into clubby dance music, when Combichrist became popular, when hardstyle influences were integrated in the music of The Scene... the list of reasons goes on and on.
Always, I have been at the forefront of The Scene, defending it with words and action against everyone who thought our Scene did not belong, was just a dying fad or full of obnoxious kids (Guess what? Most of those obnoxious kids from 10 years ago turned into really cool people).
But recently, even I am losing faith...

Fatal Casualties was started by the duo Stefan Ljungdahl and Ivan Hirvonen in Sweden, Stockholm back in 1986. But they never made any official release before they put the band on hold in 1991. In 2010 Stefan sent Ivan the track "Aim", mostly as a joke writing that "Aim" was to be Fatal Casualties' comeback. The track was the starting point for continue work on a complete debut EP.
The debut EP will be released in July, first in digitalformat, and shortly after also as a very limited physical release. It's not yet clear what the limited format will be. Before this they will release a digital single, "Glas", holding the B-side track "Not for you" (not included in the EP). More info at www.fatalcasualties.com .
Tracklist:
- Aim
- Drifting
- En Nervkostym
- Glas
- Slippery
- Toys
B-Movie are back with new 3-track EP 'Echoes'

(From our Swedish correspondent Beppe Betong) - It's 1978, when members from a local punk band in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England decide to change their band name to B-Movie. Active in the first half of the 1980s, they were first signed to the Some Bizzare record label. They also had a track, "Moles", featured on the original "Some Bizzare Album" which also featured the first recordings from Depeche Mode, The The, Soft Cell and so on.
And now the 4 members are back to release a brand new 3-track EP, "Echoes". "Echoes" is available on iTunes (direct link) and a limited edition vinyl is planned as well. As it seems a new album is in the making as well. You can listen to the EP right here.
On the above picture you see (from the left) Rick Holliday (keyboards) Steve Hovington (song and guitar) Graham Boffey (drums and backingvocals) Paul Statham (bass).
In case you never heard of the band before, here is some background info. In 1981, they signed to the Phonogram imprint Deram and had their biggest UK commercial success with their single "Remembrance Day". In 1982, they released "Nowhere Girl", which made the Top 10 in many European countries. But there was no follow-up and no sign of an album. Keyboard player Rick Holliday leaves in 1983 to form Six Sed Red with Soft Cell associate Cindy Ecstasy. But the rest of the band re-surfaces in 1984 (with Adi Hardy on guitar) with the single "A Letter From Afar" produced by John "Jellybean" Benitez. Finally in 1985, they release the album "Forever Running" with Sire Records. It holds re-recorded versions of the band's two hits. The band breaks up soon after. After a long hiatus, in March 2006, B-Movie performed at The Metro nightclub in London. (...)
Sonik Foundry return with 'Explosive' on Nilaihah Records

Out on Nilaihah Records tomorrow is Sonik Foundry's newest album "Explosive". The album holds 13 original tracks, plus 3 remixes by Assemblage 23, 00tz 00tz, and SINthetik Messiah.
Originally from New Jersey, but now based in Maine, Sonik Foundry formed in 2008. One year later they hit the scene with "Mechanized". The band quickly followed up with "The Epiphany" on Hitman Records in 2010. In 2011, they signed with Nilaihah Records and released their follow-up album, "Parish of Redemption".
Here's what Side-Line had to say about the band in the past: "The songs are all powerful EBM tracks where influences of Leather Strip, And One and the more sophisticated Komor Kommando are merging together. Sonik Foundry has seriously improved their global production gaining a unique sound identity. This is not the kind of cheap and cliché EBM composition, but well-crafted songs."

Tracklist:
- Beat it Down
- Intolerance
- Slipping Away
- Primer
- Fuse
- Obliterate
- Fusion
