Die In Eclipse, the new project of Darkrad’s Jana Komaritsa, releases debut EP ‘Sexwave’
Die In Eclipse, Jana Komaritsa’s new EBM and darkwave project, debuts EP “Sexwave” with remixes by Iszoloscope, Cervello Elettronico and more.
Die In Eclipse, the new EBM and darkwave project of Darkrad‘s Jana Komaritsa, has released its debut EP “Sexwave,” pairing two original tracks with five remixes from the electro-industrial and rhythmic-noise scene. Komaritsa is better known as Darkrad, the dark ambient project she has run since 2009. Die In Eclipse turns the other way, toward beat-driven dark techno and EBM.
The EP arrived on 14 June 2026 as a digital release, available on Bandcamp. Komaritsa describes the project’s sound as “a fusion of dark techno, contemporary EBM and darkwave, infused with sensual vocals.” The name is not new to her catalogue: “Die in Eclipse” was also the title of a two-track Darkrad release she issued in 2014.
“Sexwave” runs to seven tracks. It opens with the two originals, “Sexwave” and “Unholy Dark,” then hands both songs to a roster of remixers. “Sexwave” gets three reworks, by Iszoloscope, Antigen Shift and Cervello Elettronico. “Unholy Dark” gets two, by Horroh and Spherical Disrupted.
About Die In Eclipse and Jana Komaritsa
Die In Eclipse is the EBM and darkwave project of Jana Komaritsa, a Russian-born, Netherlands-based musician and multidisciplinary visual artist who also runs the WonderCat art space in Leiden. She started her first musical project, Darkrad, in 2009, mixing dark ambient and noise built around quiet, whispered vocals.
Darkrad’s release history runs through the dark ambient underground. The debut album “Abnormal Love” came out in 2012 on the Swedish label Cold Meat Industry. “Little Black World” followed in 2014, issued as a limited tape on Komaritsa’s own Mrakmur imprint and later through audiophob. The same year she released the two-track “Die in Eclipse,” the title she has now revived for the new project. The album “Heart Murmur” arrived in 2018, and in 2022 she paired with Flint Glass for “Cold Solitude,” a collaboration released as an art book with a CD, drawn from her own series of paintings.
Die In Eclipse marks a clear change of direction from that catalogue. Where Darkrad sits in dark ambient, the new project moves onto the dancefloor, built on dark techno rhythms and EBM. Komaritsa launched it on stage in late 2025 and kept it touring the dark-music festival circuit into 2026. “Sexwave” is its first recorded release, and the remix-heavy tracklist places her new work alongside the electro-industrial and rhythmic-noise names that built the sound it draws on.
