Press Info:
Made By Humans is a new compilation by Wie Ein Gott Records, bringing together a selection of the label’s favourite contemporary underground artists.
Set in a not-so-distant future, music creation has become heavily automated. Algorithms compose, mix, and master tracks with surgical precision, gradually sidelining human creators. Over time, people are no longer seen as contributors but as inefficiencies, until they are removed from the process altogether.
The tipping point comes when a Nobel Prize is awarded to an entity CPK1310-5L for discovering a mathematical model nicknamed God’s Formula: a set of harmonic ratios and progression templates capable of generating the “perfect” song. With it, machines begin spawning infinite near-perfect variations across all known genres, optimally structured, flawlessly balanced.
Amid this sterile sonic landscape, a new music movement emerges. Rooted in imperfection, accidents and emotional intensity, qualities machines discard as noise, it refuses to conform. This music stutters, distorts, bleeds. To bypass the algorithmic gatekeepers, it’s shared through HUMDRM, an anti-DRM encryption system accessible only to biological listeners, unlocked using heartbeat verification. These tracks are marked as “Made by Humans.”
Rare and difficult to trace, these sonic artefacts ripple through the underground until they begin taking over dim basements and industrial warehouses across the world.
Featuring contributions by Pink Stiletto, Brood Faye, Sleek Teeth, Desolate Discotheque, Blood Handsome, Fuedal, Blood Rave, Abby Knives & Manuel Matarasso, Dildox, Healng, Static Ghost, Temptrix, GOD TONGUE and Leere Menge, the compilation captures a raw spectrum of industrial EBM, dark disco, rave and post-club experimentation shaped by human volatility rather than machine perfection.

Press Info:
After more than four decades of (re)defining electronic body music, FRONT 242 conclude their live journey with “Black Out”, the definitive final live recording of their farewell tour – spanning over 40 performances across 6 months in Europe and the USA.
Recorded at AB Brussels (Ancienne Belgique) in January 2025, in their Belgian hometown, this album captures the intensity, precision, and raw energy that have defined FRONT 242’s live performances for generations.
“It is with a heavy mix of emotion that we close this great adventure, some 40 years in the making. We realize that ending our journey at this time, when we are still vibrant and full of energy is how the band should be remembered. We are excited to share these meaningful final performances with our wonderful fans who have been with us through it all”, the band wrote when announcing their final tour.
This format of “Black Out” is released as a double-CD digipak featuring 3 exclusive bonus tracks (“MasterHit”, “Soul Manager”, “No Shuffle”).
Marking a historic moment, the album also includes the first official releases of several new tracks the band had introduced live over recent years (“Generator”, “Fix It”, “Hide & Seek”) .
For “Black Out”, FRONT 242 members Patrick Codenys, Jean-Luc De Meyer and Richard23 are joined on stage by Tim Kroker on drums, with mixing and production handled in the studio by David Baboulis from the band SOLDOUT.
Spanning the full FRONT 242 repertoire – from early foundational cuts to genre-defining anthems – “Black Out” stands as both a powerful farewell and a final testament to the band’s uncompromising vision
