A technological storm is coming. The Anix’s 2019, full-length album with electronic-rock label FiXT leaves no holds barred as the artist dives into reminiscent yet uncharted waters with his latest venture, Hologram. Opening with overdriven bass, distorted beats, and sleek production, the leading track “Renegade” delivers an industrial-rock edge, guiding listeners into a static realm, waking from a dream of self-reflection and yearning to escape. The album continues with minimalistic beat-heavy tracks like “Enemy In The Mirror”, “Interference” and “Live Forever” as well as hybrid electro-rock-driven tracks like “Everlasting Love” and “Talking In My Sleep”. An unexpected cover of Deftones’ track “Digital Bath” guides the listener into darker territory, along with a version 2.0 of the track “Techunter” originally composed for Techunter Magazine and released as a single in early 2019. The album is wrapped in a cohesive atmosphere of neo-futurism, hyper-grunge massiveness, and unified through The Anix’s catchy, melancholy and haunting vocals.

Hologram marks another masterfully crafted album, completely conceived, written, produced, performed, mixed, and mastered by The Anix’s sole mastermind composer/artist Brandon Smith, who took things even further by personally creating all the album artwork, promo photography and merchandise, including several hand-crafted, limited edition pieces. For modern music fans looking for the next visionary statement of leading-edge artistry, tech fashion, electronic and rock music combining into a single form factor, look no further than The Anix.

New Scandroid Single “Writing’s On The Wall”

October 7, 2019

Artist News

Scandroid

Scandroid is back with the new single, “The Writing’s On The Wall” from the upcoming 2019 album The Light, following 2018’s The Darkness.

“The Writing’s On The Wall” is out now from Klayton’s independent synthwave label FiXT Neon. Riding on a synthpop rhythm laced with robotic synth tones, Klayton delivers one of the smoothest vocal performances from his Scandroid project to date, adding a reverb-heavy guitar section late in the track for a varied and exciting composition. The result is simultaneously rugged and elegant, old school and modern, and it’s sure to be one of fans’ favorites yet.

WATCH THE OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO:

“The Writing’s On The Wall” follows the recent Tommy ‘86 remix of “New York City Nights” and leads the way toward Scandroid’s latest recording, The Light, the follow-up to last year’s The Darkness. The Light will be available later this year from FiXT Neon with a full release of The Darkness and the Light to follow in 2020.

NUTRONIC Joins FiXT: Drops Single “Code War”

October 3, 2019

NUTRONIC ignites a fire with their leading single “Code War”, melding elements of drum & bass and metal for a high-energy track marking the first from the pair as they officially join the FiXT label roster. The duo has landed at FiXT after several years of fusing hybrid electronic-rock through the respected EDM label Simplify Records, appealing to fans of artists like Pendulum, Muzzy, and Voicians. NUTRONIC’s music ultimately caught the ear of FiXT’s multi-genre label-owner, Celldweller, leading to the new formed alliance for a multi-album deal together.

Premiering with Metal Insider, “Code War” marks the first in a series of singles coming in 2019 and 2020, ahead of a full-length album with FiXT in 2020.

ABOUT NUTRONIC

NUTRONIC began as a group of online friends back in 2011 collaborating and figuring out how to put vocals into dubstep and drum and bass mixes. Quickly, Jeremy Strickland took lead of the project as producer/songwriter with guitarist, Nick Dyson. NUTRONIC likes to call itself an Anglo-American cocktail, as Jeremy is a southern American from the gulf coast area and Nick Dyson is an Englishman from Derbyshire. NUTRONIC has been a virtual duo and potential romance novel ever since.

Stylistically varied, major influences for this project are bands like Pendulum, Muse, and A Perfect Circle, but between Jeremy and Nick, influences range from indie rock to progressive metal. NUTRONIC has been an experiment to glue all of these influences into dance music and electronica from the beginning. In 2013, NUTRONIC released a mini-LP entitled Seekers, their first serious endeavor into electronic rock and songwriting where nuance and introspection were embraced.

In 2015, a full LP was released entitled Heavens, a thematic album, which explored different sounds outside of typical expectations of drum and bass. After a hiatus, NUTRONIC returned with Subterra EP released over the course of singles starting in 2018 on Simplify Recordings. NUTRONIC’s music ultimately caught the ear of FiXT’s multi-genre label-owner, Celldweller, leading to the new formed alliance for a multi-album deal together. Fans of NUTRONIC can expect a series of singles coming in 2019 and 2020, ahead of a full-length album with FiXT in 2020.

Mega Drive’s ‘199XAD’ Out Now!

October 3, 2019

Artist News

Mega Drive

In 2014, Mega Drive released the visionary 198XAD, a darkly cybernetic piece of audio horror that quickly became a cult classic. The recording found spots on lists of the best dark synthwave albums and earned respect from critics, fans, and creators alike. Not content to rest on past successes, Mega Drive proceeded to push into new and increasingly diverse ideas on subsequent releases. For five years, 198XAD stood as a unique and unrivaled sci-fi creation at the origin point of synthwave’s dark side.

Now, Mega Drive has returned to the dystopian world of his most acclaimed work with a direct sequel, 199XAD.

Fans will immediately be drawn back into the densely woven, detailed environment of the original, as Mega Drive displays an impressive versatility across 12 exceptional tracks. Each one offers a glimpse into a different corner of Mega Drive’s inspired vision of the retrofuture, as 199XAD expertly shifts from the searing artillery fire of “Gun Hag” to patiently atmospheric and cinematic pieces like “Terror Eyes.”

The result will thrill long-time Mega Drive fans and revive memories of 199XAD’s epic predecessor while those who are new to the artist will find the latest album to be the perfect jumping-on point. 199XAD promises to be one of Mega Drive’s most highly regarded and talked about recordings yet.
