Press Info (German):
Das Album “Gefährliche Liebschaft” von Stakkato, welches im Herbst des Jahres 2025 veröffentlicht wird beim *Electro-Shock-Records*-Label ist zudem auch die 25ste Veröffentlichung des Labels und trägt daher schlussfolgernd auch die interne Katalog-Nummer E-Shock-CD 025! Das wahre Geheimnis hinter dieser CD Veröffentlichung ist jedoch wer sich hinter dem Namen *Stakkato* verbirgt , nämlich kein Geringerer als Thoralf Dietrich aus Rostock-Warnemünde kommend, der mit seiner eigentlichen Old-School-EBM Band Jäger 90 globus-umspannend die Szene mit seinem Sound auf die Tanzfläche bewegt hat.
Der Einstieg in das eher roh und minimalistisch anmutende Album der “Gefährlichen Liebschaft” ist der Song “G ist wieder da” und wird für einige der DAF-Jünger wohl eine Offenbarung sein, oder ist es nur ein Gedankenspiel ohne direktes Ziel…das man den Eindruck gewinnen könnte, Gabi Delgado grüßt einem hinterm Mikrofon erneut & wahrhaftig zurück? Der musikalische Spannungsbogen in dem gesamten Konzept-Album und von Tracks wie “Meine Liebe zu Dir”, “Sterben wollen wir noch nicht” über “Mit Dir allein” & “Zieh Dich aus” ist getragen von Rhythmus der Maschinen und der prägnanten Stimme Thoralfs, die einen nicht nur beim finalen Track “Wasser” in seine eigene Welt abtauchen lässt..also nehmt Euch die Zeit für dieses eintauchende Erlebnis !

Kaufempfehlung für alle Jäger 90, Nitzer Ebb, DAF bishin zu Spetsnaz – Fans, die CD Veröffentlichung ist jedoch auf 300 x Stück weltweit begrenzt!

 

Press Info (English):
The album “Gefährliche Liebschaft” by Stakkato, which will be released in the autumn of 2025 on the Electro-Shock-Records label, also marks the 25th release of the label — and accordingly carries the internal catalog number E-Shock-CD 025!

However, the real secret behind this CD release is the identity of the artist behind the name Stakkato: none other than Thoralf Dietrich, who, with his original old-school EBM band Jäger 90, has been moving dance floors around the globe with his powerful sound.
The album, with its raw and minimalist aesthetic, opens with the track “G ist wieder da” — a song that might feel like a revelation to some DAF disciples. Or is it just a mental game without a clear target… leaving you with the impression that Gabi Delgado is somehow greeting us once again — real and present — from behind the microphone?

The musical tension throughout this concept album — from tracks like “Meine Liebe zu Dir”, “Sterben wollen wir noch nicht”, “Mit Dir allein”, to “Zieh Dich aus” — is driven by the rhythm of the machines and Thoralf’s unmistakable voice, which, especially in the final track “Wasser”, pulls the listener into his own immersive world. So take the time for this deep, absorbing experience!

Recommended for all fans of Jäger 90, Nitzer Ebb, DAF, and even Spetsnaz — but be aware: the CD release is strictly limited to only 300 copies worldwide!

Press Info:
Crave Tapes strikes back with its second vinyl release.

Felt Her Knife – an ode to romanticism and betrayal, portrayed by the Greek artist George Core McCall, known as Alpha Sect.

This 6-track EP opens with an invitation to take a step back in time, with a charming introductory descent, like the opening of a post-rock album. A melancholy cry, “Felt Her Knife”, follows our journey into the psyche of this EP, driven by Alpha Sect’s sentimental but powerful vocals. “Drowning” merges the boundaries of what is real and what is lost in an ocean of despair. Not all those who wander are lost, and the “Fight in the Light” shows, with its powerful rhythms, that our guidance is within us. The call is stronger than we sometimes think.

The vinyl is completed with beautiful remixes by the Swedish synthwave legend Tobias Bernstrup and Radondo from Slow Motion Records, adding an extra touch of “dancefloor-oriented” hopelessness and melancholia.

Have you felt her knife yet?

(Danny Daze Remix)

 

Press Info:
Schwefelgelb show their diversity in an impressive manner. A vibrant record with a very positive aura, which makes you want to dance with a smile. Minimalistic and clearly arranged, showing each element’s full potential. Unfolding dance music’s power with no distraction.

„Ay“ is all about its irresistible groove, which is smooth but yet punchy. A compelling opener which reminds Leftfield House.

“Randseiter” is an intriguing Techno track balancing stomping EBM rhythm and playful syncopic melody patterns.

With “Sie Lacht” we turn to a cheerful and uplifting combination of subtle Jungle rhythms, prominent bass and quirky lead, undoubtedly referencing UK Bass music.

If you’re out for some rumble you’ll find it in JANEIN’s remix of “Ay”. Despite its Industrial darkness it’s not too shy to implement melodic parts. A haunting mix of pumping kick and funky stab sequences.

There isn’t really a box for Danny Daze’s remix of “Sie Lacht”. This digital bonus track is full of creative surprises.
