Industrial artist J∆55 eKOJ has released his new full-length album “Diaboliques mécaniques” through the Quebec-based label Steampunk Alien Records. The album is available now in CD, vinyl, and digital formats.

J∆55 eKOJ draws on a legacy of industrial music forged during his tenure in acts such as à;GRUMH…, Hà;PEOPLE.3.55, and iOsael Purple Project. His solo work continues to explore harsh, ritualistic textures described by the artist as “a malfunctioning ritual”.

About J∆55 eKOJ

J∆55 eKOJ is the solo project of a former member of pioneering Belgian industrial groups à;GRUMH…, Hà;PEOPLE.3.55, and iOsael Purple Project.

Originating from Belgium, he has pursued a personal vision that fuses abrasive electronic elements with dark ambient and industrial noise. His output is marked by distorted sampling, degraded rhythms, and a cinematic style influenced by early avant-garde electronics and post-industrial atmospheres.

J∆55 eKOJ’s solo material is released through Steampunk Alien Records, based in Quebec, Canada.

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.
