The Belgian electronic music label Alfa Matrix (Front 242, Unter Null, Ayria, …) will be handling the worldwide distribution of the upcoming Recoil Blu-ray "A Strange Hour In Budapest". Recoil is the project of Alan Wilder, formerly of Depeche Mode.
"A Strange Hour" was presented during 2010/2011 in 52 cities across the world as part of the "Selected Events" tour to celebrate 25 years of the Recoil project. The Blu-ray features the second and last full show of 2010, held in Budapest at the beautiful newly-renovated Szikra venue.
The performance was filmed using the latest high-definition technology in order to capture the event in its full glory. For this (with the help of the local promoters), the team from Umatik was recruited, headed up by director Attila ('Atus') Herkó, and in a similar way to the stage projections, Recoil collaborated remotely on the editing – Alan Wilder gave feedback to rough edits which Atus sent to him whilst Paul Kendall and Alan simultaneously worked on the surround sound mix. Attila's film is nothing less than stunning and offers a captivating and exhilarating document of "A Strange Hour".
From June 1st, Alfa Matrix will be accepting pre-orders for the "A Strange Hour In Budapest" Blu-ray from this website. The release will be presented in a deluxe DVD-sized 6 panel digi-pack with reinforced slipcase, containing a 170gm 16-page booklet packed with information and photo manipulations. The first 1000 copies will be individually hand-stamped/numbered and the disc will also feature extra promotional films and live projections. All store on-line orders will be dispatched with an exclusive code to receive downloadable extras such as a pdf art booklet with extra pages, a soundtrack sampler, Recoil 'live' photographs and project wallpapers.
At a later stage the release will be made available worldwide via different online outlets and shops.
This will be Blu-ray only format in order to preserve the best image quality possible. If you haven't upgraded to Blu-ray yet, now is the time to do so!
Out now on Alfa Matrix is Schwarzblut's dark industrial album 'Maschinenwesen'. On this album the band explores German poetry from the age of industrial revolution in word, sound and visuals. Schwarzblut serves dark elektro beats and harsh German poetic vocals, bombastic orchestrations, passionate female vox and grandiose atmospheres. 'Maschinenwesen' is available as CD and 2CD limited edition box set. The latter features a bonus disc with 10 remixes, 5 photo cards and a poster. All packed into a neat box. Both editions are available on iTunes, Amazon and Spotify. To celebrate the release of their new album the band throws a release party on May 11th. Tickets to this event are available online. Visit Schwarzblut's Facebook band page to listen to music, read reviews and connect to the band.
After a survey among our customers, we decided to change our digital policy when delivering albums to iTunes and related download platforms. If you are looking for our newest releases you will see that (with the exception of the Mentallo & The Fixer release) all of the new albums appear now in 2 versions: a normal album and a bonus tracks version.

For those who missed the Psy'Aviah semi-acoustic mini-concerts from their FNAC Tour, here's some footage from the acoustic live version of "Something Evil" the band did. The audio is straight from the mixing desk, the video is a compilation of cellphone camera and photocamera footage by fans. Video is available at YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiuqZ-Xf2ns.
The band is still searching for pictures and video-bits, so if you have filmed or if you took pictures, please let us know at info@psyaviah.com .
Finally, Psy'Aviah would like to thank FNAC and all of you who came to see, and supported them (on or offline) in their "semi-acoustic" adventure...
Here's a teaser for the upcoming Blu-ray release of "A Strange Hour in Budapest". This live concert film was directed by Atilla Herko. The trailer was edited by Martin Vladar.
To celebrate the kick-off of the pre-orders, we are happy to launch this brand new video of Neverland.
And guess what, you can grab this track for FREE as an appetiser for the forthcoming album “Hotel existence”. The album will hit the streets on May 18th!

THE FUTURE IS YOU !!!
Psy'Aviah decided that it was time for another contest… But, after hosting two remix contests, they thought ‘t was time to take a different approach.. This time they want you to create something visual, based on a Psy’Aviah song… Be it a hand-made drawing, a photoshopped image or collage, an animation, a video, or whatever visually you think fits best to one of our tracks!
The rules are very simple thus,
- It’s a visual representation of a Psy’Aviah song;
- It’s your own work/design – or you have been granted permission to use parts of someone’s work;
- You are free to submit as many entries you want;
- The contest runs from March 30th 2012 ’till May 11th 2012 (last day that we accept entries) – thats roughly a month and a half time…
As for the prizes, We’ll give away THREE packages to the entries we like most. Each package includes the following items:
- a sticker;
- a postcard;
- sounds of the matrix sampler CD;
- a rare compilation CD “’till dead do us part 09″ – which features two tracks of ours;
- and the 2010 “Eclectric” album.
Psy'Aviah has some busy times ahead:
1. working on prparing their FNAC semi-acoustic mini tour. That means, acoustic guitar, Emélie on vocals, and a lot of electronic strings… "It’s a different way to get our music accross" - says the band. You can experience the concerts at following dates:
- 14/04/2012 @ FNAC City2, Brussels
- 21/04/2012 @ FNAC Groenplaats, Antwerp
2. And they're also finishing their new DJEP with the accompanying music video for Virtual Gods, a track taken from their recent album "Introspection ~ Extrospection". Check out a behind the scenes video below.
