There are few Electro-pioneers of the first wave that are still active and successful. Belgian artist Dirk Ivens is one of them, inspiring a lot of acts to follow in the past three decades – be it as part of Absolute Body Control, The Klinik or Sonar, or with his solo project DIVE. Therefore, an 8-CD box set containing the entire back catalogue of his one man project, from 1990 until now, is destined to stir up some waves. It contains all official releases, many of them deleted for a good number of years and therefore highly collectible (and pricey) rarities, bundled in a lavish box set in book form, hand-numbered and limited to 1000 copies, with a classy photo booklet that contains many previously unseen photos.

There is much excitement within the music press and fans alike around the world about the news of the return of glam rock icon Michael Des Barres and his forthcoming CD release 'Carnaby Street' On Gonzo MultiMedia, UK. Michael Des Barres has been in the rock ‘n’ roll scene for four decades now. A European nobleman, brought up in England, living in Los Angeles, but with an enduring love of delta blues and the rock and soul of the mid-60s beat boom, he was front man for such seminal 1970s bands as Silverhead and Detective (featuring Tony Kaye of Yes). Jimmy Page personally signed Detective to Led Zeppelin's Swan Song records in 1975. From 1982 to 1985, Michael was a member of Chequered Past, which included Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols.

Never ones to rest on their laurels, The Pain Machinery present the follow up to last year's critically acclaimed "Surveillance Culture". The new album "Restart" contains eight brand new tracks. More potent than ever before, the sound takes influences from classic UK synth punk, Chicago acid house and Belgian hardcore disco, combining them with a futuristic groove. This is music both for the mind and for the (darkest) dancefloors.
