You can download/stream this 7-track EP below, for free (and if you like what you hear you can always tip them of course). The “Detox Static” EP will only be available via Bandcamp and will not be distributed via other download platforms. The artwork was designed by Daniel B. who also took care of the mastering.
In total the band received more than 1000 remixes (Alfa Matrix modestly speaks of a few hundred, but we saw the complete number and it’s well over 1000) and it clearly took them a lot of time and patience to go through all of them, shortlist the best ones (40 something) and then trim it down to 9, of which 6 see a release now (no news what will happen to the other 3). The winning remixers for this 7-track EP are Ad :Key, Eisfabrik, Kant Kino, Tefonik, Restriction 9 and Digital 440. We were given the chance to listen to 16 more remixes – which didn’t make the final cut but which were in the final 40 – and it’s safe to say that the quality of those ones was also excellent, so we hope they will see a release too at some point. Cross your fingers!
And there’s more. Coming out soon is the “No Comment” album in a remastered version on vinyl and cd with the improvements (or differences) permitted by today’s audio technology. And that’s just the first of several releases planned for Front 242 in 2016. There is no news if those remastered versions will have bonus tracks. We’ll keep you informed!
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. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can. 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.
