Electronica pop act 808 DOT POP returns with double EP
The Belgian electronica pop ensemble, 808 DOT POP, makes a return with a double EP following the well-received launch of their companion CD albums “FM88.2” and “AM1350” (plus “MW720” available on digital platforms) under the Belgian electro label, Alfa Matrix.
Now available, initially via the Alfa Matrix Bandcamp page, are two fresh EPs, “FM96.9” and “AM1040”, both emphasising the second single “Distant Voices”.
Vocal duties are handled by Lis van den Akker, who is featured on the leading song, which gets reimagined in an Erasure-esque style.
Alongside a revised version of the album track “Modulation”, there are two exclusive titles – one being “FM/AM” and the all-new track “The Boys Of Wireless”, influenced by Frank Webster’s 1912 book. There are also two new extended versions, one of “Distant Voices” and one of “Modulation”, as well as a club mix by Belgian artist Sequence 5.
A video for “Distant Voices (on the radio)” has also been launched.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

As Eldrina Mich I work as a go-between and a devil’s advocate when it comes to Side-Line. If our own staff needs to be interviewed then ask the questions no one else dares to ask.
