So, you thought you were sick of MUSICK? It gets worse: LAIBACH have just announced details of a companion piece to their recent album, out on 20 November 2026. MUSICK : ENCORE features previously unreleased material from original MUSICK sessions alongside brand new remixes from the likes of SILVERWINGKILLER, Richard X, The Lincolnshire Poacher and PUNCHBAG.
The album launches today, showcasing two distinct sides of the album: a brand new track, ‘This Is The End’, featuring Slovenian singer and musician Kaja Skrbinšek, and a new remix of ‘Love Machine’, featuring Senidah, one of the most distinctive voices in Balkan music today, by labelmates PUNCHBAG, who bring their own brand of unfiltered punk and ecstatic pop to their remix.
These two new tracks amplify the original themes of MUSICK, described by Uncut as a “meditation on music itself” and by Classic Pop as “…a hyperreal reflection of the sound of now”.
MUSICK and the new companion piece are a collection of undeniably catchy pop that revels in hyper-driven post-modernity. “Perhaps these are the final moments when creating music purely for enjoyment still carries broader significance – before alien, generative intelligence outplays and outperforms us all,” say Laibach. “So, we seized the moment.”
Guests and remixers on the album each bring new aspects to the Laibach machine, and include Kaja Skrbinšek (who features on new track ‘This Is The End’) plus Slovene sensation Senidah, who adds her distinctive vocals to ‘Love Machine’ (appearing on two mixes, by Mute labelmates PUNCHBAG, and on UK renegade mixer The Lincolnshire Poacher’s version).
Elsewhere on the album, electropop producer Richard X co-produced several tracks and remixes ‘Resistencia’; Ghanian artist Wiyaala, the “Lioness of Africa”, who they first saw in an underground club in Ljubljana, features on two new versions of ‘Musick’, the Unsick Version and a remix by Balžalorsky). Long-time collaborator Donna Marina Mårtensson, features on new track ‘#US’ while Manca Trampuš, the frontwoman of the Slovenian indie band Koala Voice, features on new track ‘Modern Talking’; Bojan Cvjetićanin, from Joker Out, one of Slovenia’s most successful contemporary rock bands, who guests on ‘Faith No More’, while Gregor Strasbergar from the band MRFY, one of the most compelling alternative acts in Slovenia, guests on ‘Resistencia (Richard X Remix)’.
Laibach continue their MUSICK tour this autumn with dates throughout Europe and the UK, including a performance at Islington Assembly Hall, London, on 29 September. For tickets and further tour announcements, visit the band’s live page.

“This Is The End” [feat. Kaja Skrbinšek]
Press Info:
Justin Strauss has been part of the fabric of New York club life since 1980, when he started DJing at the Mudd Club. Over the following decades he worked through rooms like the Ritz, Area, the Tunnel and Centro Fly, building a reputation as one of the city’s most consistent presences behind the decks. In parallel he established himself as a remixer and producer with a wide reach, working with acts ranging from Depeche Mode and Tina Turner to LCD Soundsystem and Beyoncé. Before any of that, he was the frontman of Milk ‘N’ Cookies, the cult glam-pop group that signed to Island Records in the mid-seventies and found itself caught between glam and the first wave of punk.
“Restart” came together in London, at the Relax & Enjoy Studio that Joe Goddard shares with fellow Hot Chip member Al Doyle. Goddard and Strauss have a working history, having collaborated alongside Marcus Marr as Extra Credit, and the session moved quickly. Goddard had an 808 running. Strauss suggested slowing it down considerably and distorting it. They built up bass lines and synth parts between them, with Goddard adding his own synth line.
As Strauss recalls: “The current state of the world was weighing heavy on mind which in turn inspired the lyrics, which I just started writing down as the track was playing. Recorded the vocals and added some live percussion the same day and the track was done. We were both really happy how it turned out.”
The release comes in three versions. The original carries the weight of that session directly, the distorted 808 at its centre and the lyrics grounded in the moment of writing. Goddard’s remix extends the track, bringing his characteristic sense of layering and movement while staying close to the original’s mood. The instrumental version of the remix gives the production space to make its own case.

Kvrk makes a debut on Distant Gaze with Synthetic Memories, a four-track EP exploring shadowy electronics.
Opening with Pulsewidth, the EP begins as a slow burn – a restrained piece of synthwave shaped by drifting ambience, hypnotic sequences and a steady sense of tension.
The pace gradually lifts with Void Caller and title track Synthetic Memory, pushing deeper into prog sound. Straight, driving rhythms form the backbone, occasionally dissolving into broken-beat passages, while warped synths and psychedelic details keep everything in constant motion.
Beneath the electronic framework runs something more primal: forest-like soundscapes, mystic undertones and subtly shamanic motifs give the music a ritualistic dimension.
Closing the release, Blu:sh reworks Void Caller through his signature deep and trippy approach, stretching the original into a spacious late-night interpretation with a submerged, dreamlike pull.
