Celldweller Recruits Italian Trap-Metal Artist Becko for “My Disintegration” Remix

February 19, 2020

Artist News, Artist Press

Becko, Celldweller

Building upon Celldweller’s signature aggressive, electronic-rock original, Italy based artist/producer Becko offers a genre-defying trap-metal remix of “My Disintegration”. Becko skillfully weaves in his own vocals into a cataclysmic hybrid duet showcasing both artist’s abilities to fuse differing styles into one searing track. The remix delivers a torrent of hypnotic beats and abrasive guitars, steadily building up to a climactic finish, before fading away with a final synthetic disintegration leaving you yearning for more.

“It was an honor for me to remix ‘My Disintegration’ as I’m a huge fan of Klayton’s Celldweller project! His super guitar riffs and nu-metal touch remind me why I started to make and play music. So it’s amazing to find something so similar to my taste to remix! My aim was to mix 50% his style and 50% my style to prove our sounds could work together!”
– Becko

Along with the release of the remix, FiXT has revealed Becko as the latest artist signing to FiXT’s expanding multi-genre, electronic-rock roster. With previous releases under his belt with labels ranging from Warner Italy and Universal Italy, to Monstercat, Lowly Palace, and Smash the House since 2014, Becko will be re-releasing over 30 tracks from his back-catalog with FiXT in the coming weeks, with an emphasis on new material and regular singles throughout the rest of the year. For a preview of what’s coming from Becko and FiXT, visit his artist page for early access to the music video for his track “Dead-End” from the upcoming Genesis EP.

Signal Void “Find You” (feat. King Protea)

February 12, 2020

Artist News

Altered, Find You, FiXT Neon, FiXT Neon Music, King Protea, Signal Void

Simultaneously tragic and beautiful, Signal Void and King Protea’s “Find You” is a cyberpunk synthwave creation like you’ve never heard before. This epic track tells a heartbreaking tale rooted in Signal Void’s world of the dystopian retro-future, balancing dark and heavy instrumentation with King Protea’s silvery singing performance. The result is an attractively melodic offering underscored by persistent intensity.

“Find You” is the first new creation from Signal Void following the artist’s sleeper hit debut album, This Liminal Reality, and it’s the lead-off single for FiXT Neon: Altered, the upcoming compilation of cyberpunk music from independent synthwave record label FiXT Neon.

“I know fans have been patiently waiting to hear the next chapter in the Signal Void story, so it’s incredibly exciting for me to finally be able to share this record with everyone. At its heart, Find You is a tragic tale between estranged lovers in a dystopian future where the lines between reality and cyberspace are blurring, so I definitely wanted to capture some of the inherent power struggles in those themes within the music itself. Coupled with King Protea’s stunning vocal performance, this record is my attempt to plant a flag of my own within the synthwave genres & give the audience a glimpse into the future of Signal Void and the direction I’m heading with this new album!
– Signal Void

“Find You” is a mysterious dive into the mind of Signal Void’s lover — both her confidence and insecurities. This was an exciting exploration of that dialogue and what kind of emotions she might be feeling, while at the same time trying to protect the one she cares about most. It’s dramatic and relatable at the same time.”

PRIZM releases ’80s inspired video for hit single “All Night”

February 3, 2020

Artist News

atwood magazine, interview, PRIZM

Recently, Atwood Magazine premiered PRIZM’s “All Night” music video on their site. The duo also sat down for an interview and discussed their take on retro pop and the response their music has received.

PRIZM’s charged music is so very befitting of the “retropop” name. The Dallas duo inject a euphoric energy into their passion-fueled songs, whether they’re basking in the throes of the moment, singing about L-O-V-E, or trying to figure out what lies down the road ahead. Nowhere does PRIZM’s music shine brighter than on the effervescent “All Night,” a radiant synth-glazed indulgence of intimacy, desire, and belonging.

Essenger Releases “Empire of Steel”

January 31, 2020

Artist News

Essenger

Essenger and Scandroid join forces in a formidable arsenal of vocoder and rock guitar. Reminiscent of early 80s synth-pop with a modern cyberpunk edge, “Empire of Steel” explores the exploitation of AI by a dystopian megacorporation. Could merging with the machines be the key to restoring balance?

“Just a few days before the album had to be turned in, I started working on a new track. Given the circumstances, I knew it would have a slim chance of making the album but by the end of the day it turned into one of my favorite songs I’ve written. I had a really strong rock chorus but it didn’t quite fit the aesthetic of my voice. I’ll totally pretend I didn’t write it with Scandroid in mind but I got lucky and he hopped on the track, delivering a killer performance and exceeding my expectations with his signature vocoder lines and his own verse.” – Essenger

“Empire of Steel” is the final single released in advance of Essenger’s highly-anticipated new album, After Dark. The new song is available as an instant-grat for fans who purchase the full album, and it’s out on all major streaming platforms now from independent synthwave label FiXT Neon.

Official lyric video for “Empire Of Steel” premieres this Friday, February 7th. Tune in!
