Press Info:
A banging hymn to Nu Rave and EBM, and a bold declaration of independence for Belgium Techno, from one of its most colorful artist, « Belgium is back » now gets a brilliant set of remixes by acclaimed heroes of the genre.

Starting with the German 90’ superstar Interactive (Jens Lissat & Ramon Zenker) that provides a brilliant remix that links old school vibe with 2023 energy. Then comes an irresistible TBM banger from Crystal Geometry (Tripalium, Bpitch Control, Sonic Groove, Nu Body).

They are accompanied by Luke Riga, aka Luc Rigaux, yet another legendary artist of the New Beat movement (Apotheosis, Rebel X, The Unity Mixers to name a very few of his numerous aliases since the 90’) and two acclaimed modern days Berlin activists, Monya and Romance Disaster, both delivering dark, strong and inspired TBM excursions.

Of course the original version is here, and the whole package is specially mastered for vinyl by el maestro himself, for maximal aural damage!

Ethan Fawkes is an old-school rave techno and EBM DJ producer, based in Tilff, Belgium. He’s known for his charismatic presence and combat-ready style on stage, comfortably playing anywhere from raves to clubs or shows and festival stages with his signature sound : a masterclass in unmistakably powerful and personal tracks. His unique vision and tireless work ethic are evidenced by a growing catalogue of original EPs, LPs and remixes appearing on outstanding labels including Tripalium Records, Dancefloor Killers, Kobayashi Recordings, Qubiq Records, Fresh Cut, I-Traxx Red Edition and Bombtrap.
Ethan is also a very sought-after remix artist, including for The Horrorist, Al Ferox, Clemens Neufeld, Millimetric and Diarmaid O Meara, and his guest vocals appear on various other releases.

Accordingly, not only do I provide rare podcast compilations but release VA of the same artists that took part in podcast compilation as well.

The uniqueness of the podcast channel is as follows – artists record podcasts, a compilation of 4 unique and rare artists is created, who take turns to record podcasts for HOUND, and each podcast is laid out once a month, after which also launch a release by VA of the same artists.
