Side-Line introduces Slighter – listen now to ‘Backscatter’ (Face The Beat profile series)
The 71st track on our free download compilation “Face The Beat: Session 4” (featuring 92 tracks) is by the US-based electronic / industrial / IDM act Slighter.
Slighter is the project by Colin Cameron Allrich whose work includes 2 remixes for Front Line Assembly (“Next War” and “Leveled”) and Hate Dept. (“New Ghost”). He also helped with the programming/synthesis on the 16Volt side project Black December and is currently releasing via Confusioninc.com. And last but not least, he has placed music on NBC/Universal, HBO, Showtime, FOX and more.
The track we were generously offered for our compilation kinda unites all of the influences Colin has undergone, from electronic, over IDM to industrial. It’s really all in there blended into a very enjoyable rapid paced track.
You can find the project back on Facebook, make sure to check them out.

More people read Side-Line than ever, and there is still no paywall and no advertising. Readers pay for it instead - from $5 a month.
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.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
