French electronic artist Terence Fixmer has released a new three-track EP titled “Magnetic North“, available now via NovaMute, alongside an extended digital edition of his 2023 album “The Paradox In Me”.
But first things first, the “Magnetic North” EP features 3 tracks. Regarding the new EP Fixmer says that “it serves as a bridge between ‘The Paradox In Me’ and the sound of my future album, which will be lean towards the club, and be more techno, and hypnotic with raw sounds.”
The title track “Magnetic North” arrives with a video.
Accompanying the EP, NovaMute has also issued an extended digital edition of “The Paradox In Me“, Fixmer’s second full-length for Mute/NovaMute, originally released in 2023. This edition includes three new tracks:
- “In Synthesis (Vocal Mix)”
- “Razor Sharp (Version Two)”
- “Close to You (Live Version)”
About Terence Fixmer
Terence Fixmer began producing electronic music in the late 1990s and launched his label Planete Rouge in 1998. His debut album, “Muscle Machine” (2001, International Deejay Gigolos), introduced a fusion of techno and EBM – a hybrid sound he continued to refine across later works.
In the mid-2000s, he collaborated with the late Douglas McCarthy of Nitzer Ebb under the name Fixmer/McCarthy, further bridging the gap between EBM and techno.
Subsequent albums include “Comedy of Menace” (2010, Electric Deluxe), “Depth Charged” (2015, CLR), “Through the Cortex” (2018, Ostgut Ton), and “Shifting Signals” (2022, Mute).
Fixmer also has remixed a string of artists such as Depeche Mode, Front 242, and Sven Väth. He is currently based in France and continues to perform internationally.
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.
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.
