Mega Drive Drops Despotic New Single “Narcs”

August 1, 2019

Few artists working in the darker side of synthwave are able to capture a detailed, cinematic style as well as Mega Drive. The artist proves once again why he’s considered a master of cyberpunk synthwave with his latest track, “NARCS.” The second single off the upcoming 199XAD album plunges listeners into an elaborate and exciting soundscape that conjures images of a dystopian future rife with crime, deceit, and corruption.

Sprinkling bright melodies across a gritty, high-powered rhythm section, “NARCS” balances light and dark in perfect contrast, vividly painting a picture of a world that is simultaneously beautiful and chaotic, thrilling and dangerous. Following the release of “Gun Hag,” “NARCS” reveals even more of the songwriting versatility present on Mega Drive’s forthcoming full-length album, and it should be more than enough to whet the appetite of fans who have been eager for a return to Mega Drive’s signature sound.

The Anix – “Disappear”

July 11, 2019

Artist News, Artist Press

Disappear, EDM, Electronic Music, Electronic Rock, Fixt, FiXT Music, IDM, The Anix

Electronic-rock artist The Anix is back with his latest single “Disappear”. Crisp, melancholic vocals and dreamy programming collide in an emotive track confronting internal doubt and the fear in us that those we care for will inevitably leave us.

“Disappear” marks the 4th single from The Anix’s upcoming 2019 studio album, Hologram, following The Anix’s 2018 full-length album Shadow_Movement, since signing with independent future-rock label FiXT in early 2018.

Assuming multiple roles as artist/performer, composer, producer, and mixer, The Anix mastermind, Brandon Smith, combines a wide range of influences into a counter-culture, cyberpunk multi-media experience. From his unique ability to juxtapose electronic, alternative and rock music to his sleek design aesthetics in The Anix’s artwork, photography, and video, to the one-of-a-kind hand-crafted merchandise he has come to be known for, Brandon continues to evolve and carve a path all his own.

“The Anix immediately transfixes the listener with elegant layers of synth and percussion, Brandon Smith’s sensual and emotive melodies engage and insinuate their way into your psyche as distant cries of guitar feedback hover ghostlike in the background. The chorus bursts into a cinematic deluge of subtle rock textures and electrified atmospheres, the driving yet downtempo beats sure to send shivers down the spine and entice one’s body to move involuntarily. ‘Disappear’ is a fine track that presents all the music of The Anix has to offer – as good as it gets… and maybe better.”

Comaduster’s “Roentgen” remix offers an intense re-imagining of Soul Extract’s cinematic electronic-rock single, adding his signature sound of precision editing and glitches, intricate percussive elements and vocal layering with heavy intermingled guitar work.

The colossal remix comes amid a flurry of new material, the artist’s latest project opened with the complex and chaotic “Fever Rift” and a two-track single release Monolith. The tracks serve as thematic opposites, with “Monolith” (featuring female vocalist Mari Kattman) guiding listeners into an intentionally glitchy, disorienting atmosphere and “Pyramids” exploring the inner journey of the artist with ethereal programming and eclipsing vocals.

Thematically the tones and sounds of this series are based around digital and analog abuse, esoteric rhythmic theory, and vocals and lyrics that are more based around more personal experiences than my previous records.

Artist News

Mega Drive

Mega Drive has returned to the FiXT Neon label with a vengeance. The artist dual premiered his latest original single “Gun Hag” with Nightride FM and The 80’s Guy YouTube Channel. “Gun Hag” is the lead-off single from Mega Drive’s 199XAD album, a direct sequel to the artist’s celebrated cult classic, 198XAD. The new recording revisits the songwriting and production style of the first while upgrading it with five years worth of skills and creative experience that Mega Drive has gained since then. The result is a detailed and riveting recording that swings from pummeling tracks like “Gun Hag” to glitched-out, atmospheric pieces with a cyberpunk flair that bring to life the imaginative, dystopian world of 199XAD. The full album will be available later this year through FiXT Neon.

Heavy synths and unrelenting beats transport the listener through the Retroverse into an arcade realm of gunfire and mayhem as Mega Drive delivers his first single from 199XAD, coming later in 2019 on FiXT Neon, as the triumphant sequel to the iconic Mega Drive synthwave album 198XAD.
