Deep Red issue 'Atom Rot - THE EP'
Miami dark electronic duo Deep Red has released the six-track digital “Atom Rot – THE EP”. The set expands the Cold War espionage arc introduced on the 2024 single “Atom Rot” and continued on last month’s “The Red Door.” The EP is self-released and available on all platforms.
Martha (Deep Red) stated: “This EP builds on the espionage concept but takes it into much deeper emotional territory.” DC (Deep Red) added: “When you listen, imagine bleak, rain-soaked European streets, coded messages, and a game of deception that never ends.”
The “Atom Rot — THE EP” features 6 tracks:
Note that “Who Should I Be for You?” was mixed by Pete Burns of Kill Shelter
About Deep Red
Deep Red was formed in 1996 by vocalist Martha A. Hoffmann (also of Distorted Reality) and producer DC Astro (Element 104). The duo is currently based in Miami, Florida. Early on, the band’s track “Holy You” appeared on Cleopatra Records’ “The Goth Box,” which led to further compilation placements and European activity; the group subsequently released material on Candyland/ SPV and Osiris Soundworks.
The debut EP “I Live” (1996) and the album “The Awakening” (1996/1997) were issued via Candyland Entertainment (distributed by SPV), followed by “Darkwaters” (1998) and “Chimera” (2002) on Osiris Soundworks.
After a lengthy hiatus, Deep Red returned with new singles beginning in 2023, including “Battle Lines” (with Element 104), “The Art of Lust” and its “Love=Death Remix”, followed by “Run” and “Run (Jet Set Giallo Remix)” in early 2024. The German-language “Atom Rot (mit Hoffa)” arrived in September 2024 and introduced the Cold War espionage concept that now frames “The Red Door” and the forthcoming EP.
In 2025, the duo released “Golden” and “Golden (Faustan Remix)” ahead of the new material.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
