Vielleicht hat Sami mit seiner [...]

Read moreThis is what straftanz is about.
I, will no longer depend on anyone to entertain me. I am going for the people, the music, the atmosphere and the experience. I will talk to strangers. I will increase my happiness by spreading happiness among others. I will dress up. I will not behave.
Tonight I will be legendary and I swear to escalate everything.

Read moreThis is what Straftanz was about.
We never answered, no matter how often we were asked. The question is the most obvious one and yet we never publicly talked about it and never planned to. But due to recent events we decided to break the myth and resolve the riddle: What does STRAFTANZ actually mean? It was 2006 and we were [...]
Read moreDancing Industrial is like Germans playing Basketball.
“Industrial Dance is a bit like Germans playing Basketball except for it’s not a sport.” I asked our Facebook crew some days ago, whether they had any idea what that could remotely mean. I think except for Faderhead no one really got my point, so I feel like I should give you all a ride [...]

„I do not understand how some people can be so vociferously critical of one over the other when they are essentially the same thing. Which concerns me more that this has nothing to do with music and everything to do with snobbery, elitism and exclusivity.“ Geoff Lee, Modulate. EBM Elite Idiots are claiming that Techno [...]
Read moreWhat is this industrial after all? (Click here for answers!)
Today our friends over at side-line provided us with idiocy once more and I can’t even blame them. The experiment was highly effective: Post a Myspace picture circa 2009 and ask people whether they are annoyed by the Cyber Goth youngsters depicted.
