Australian industrial-punk project Schkeuditzer Kreuz has released the single “Keep Dancing” on June 5, 2026. The Schkeuditzer Kreuz “Keep Dancing” single pairs the “Fresh Graves Mix” of the track, taken from the 2025 album “Swan Grinder”, with the B-side “Poor Impulse Control (Three Days Deep)”.
The single is issued as a 7-inch vinyl release with a digital edition. The artwork is by Rufus Dayglo, and the audio was mastered by Martin Bowes of Attrition, who also mastered the parent album “Swan Grinder”. “Keep Dancing” originally appeared on that record; the “Fresh Graves Mix” reworks the track for this release.
Kieren Hills says: “Keep Dancing is a song of rebellion. It is a song about standing up for what you think is right. And it is a song of standing up for those who can’t stand up for themselves. It is about sticking together and sticking around to make our voice heard in a time where we feel under constant attack. The world feels pretty bad right now, but the song is about not switching off even when that feels like the only option.”
Kieren continues: “I have always wanted to have a go at putting guitar with one of my songs and this seemed like the perfect one to do. So I rerecorded it with guitars as well as redoing the drums and synths to make it sound more urgent and more, well, danceable.”
About the B-side “Three Days Deep” he says: “I took the original song and sped it up to 240bpm, distorted the fuck out of everything and well, we all know what Three Days Deep refers to…”
Meanwhile, Schkeuditzer Kreuz is also using the “Keep Dancing” release to make an early announcement of an own 19-date tour of Japan, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia in October this year.

About Schkeuditzer Kreuz
Schkeuditzer Kreuz is the solo project of Kieren Hills, who was born in New Zealand and is based in Lawson, in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia. The project combines electronic body music and industrial with crust and d-beat punk, a sound Hills has described with terms such as “industrial synth crust” and “d-beat raw synth punk”.
The discography includes “Isolated and Alone” (2021) and “No Life Left” (2023), the latter repressed on Bad Habit Records. In November 2024 the project shared a split 7-inch with Decide Today, which Side-Line reported at the time. The third album “Swan Grinder“, mastered by Martin Bowes, was released on August 30, 2025, and was supported by a European tour across September and October 2025.
The “Keep Dancing” single is released on June 5, 2026.
