Rotterdam EBM duo Machine Command released “Uncontrolable” on 2 November 2026, a two-track single previewing an untitled album due spring 2027.
Rotterdam EBM duo Machine Command released “Uncontrolable” on 2 November 2026, a two-track digital single that precedes an as yet untitled album scheduled for spring 2027.
Annemarie Janssen wrote the lyrics and Pieter Winkelaar the music. The duo describes the title track as a piece about machine intelligence turning on its makers: “It’s about conceited self-assured and self learning beings who threaten to wipe out humanity.”
The B-side is a remix of the album track “Predators” by The Peoples Republic Of Europe. The source track runs at 165 BPM, and the remixer moved it out of EBM tempo entirely. Machine Command stated that The Peoples Republic Of Europe “transformed the fast paced EBM to Drum& bass!”
“Uncontrolable” runs 4:30 and the “Predators” remix 3:50. Both tracks are available as a digital single on Bandcamp. The cover photo is credited to Ionut and the artwork design to Design Tiger Design.
