PREMIERE: Atari Teenage Riot - Activate (DJ Mr. White Remix)
Regular drones may swear by coffee as their go-to workweek starter, but we’re not fully lucid until we’ve intravenously administered an aggro-jolt of shouty electro noise. Big up to digital hardcore maximalists Atari Teenage Riot and club newcomer Mr. White (aka Whiiite) for the bucket of dub sludge that is the “Activate” revamp, and our fix until ATR’s hotly-anticipated reunion record hits eardrums via Dim Mak tomorrow.

PREMIERE: Extra Life - Ripped Heart (Xiu Xiu Remix)
.jpg)
Extra Life is a Brooklyn band that has successfully separated from the herd. Masters of industrial-laced experimental tracks, each release has seen them inching toward the addition of pop to that mix, and upcoming EP Ripped Heart finds this trend coming to fruition. Have a listen to the original version of the title track before checking out the remix, which strips "Ripped Heart" of all its harmonies and leaves us with the stark belly of the beast the way that only Xiu Xiu can. Cold and synthonic, it is the perfect foil to its charming post-prog brethren. Grab three additional originals and remixes to match (courtesy of Liturgy, Laurel Halo and Former Ghosts) on the EP out April 5 on Last Things.

DOWNLOAD: Dave.i.d - Marvel

When you know of a musician because he used to scare your UK Editor at night, and your label buddy describes his industrial melody as one might describe vomit (‘dark and chunky’), you do not turn down the chance to promote his newest tune. Dave.i.d’s “Marvel” is fiendish and unholy, as if the synths sprang from ghost cries and the beats from torn limbs. It is also fantastic. Hold it close until the Gangs EP—lush with soulful dubstep, choirboy riffs, and other oddities—arrives in January on Off The Uncertain Button/ !K7.

DOWNLOAD: Jesu - Annul

It would be difficult to think of a style of music Justin Broadrick hasn't influenced. Industrial, death metal, shoegaze and electronica are a good start, but as founder of past groups including Godflesh, Napalm Death and Final, and now with main project Jesu, nary a genre has been left unturned. "Annul" is one of four tracks off the group's latest LP, Dethroned, one half of a double-disc rerelease on Hydra Head featuring seminal debut record Heart Ache. It's seven minutes of the things Broadrick has perfected in his reign as the ambient and metal mixing king; the songs on Dethroned were partially finished at the time of Heart Ache and completed this year, and long stretches of lush multi-layering and the band's signature slow-build mark a solid return to form.

Australia's My Disco is not playing the irony card. While "Closer" is more Boredoms than bell bottoms, it is certainly not lacking the pulsing rhythms and repeat choruses that had the world hooked Bee Gees-style. This time around, it's dark and bare drumming with vocals to match that will have you tapping along. Add recording by Steve Albini—the musical Midas touch—and you have yourself a feverish track for Saturday night and beyond. My Joy, the group's third album, makes its U.S. debut on Temporary Residence Limited in January.
DOWNLOAD: O. Children - Ruins (Jokers Of The Scene Remix)
The original version of O. Children’s first single is already nasty business—frontman Tobi O’Kandi’s sinister baritone soars demonic over the industrial-grade guitars and grandiose beat. But, with Jokers Of The Scene at the helm, the track devolves into an icy, post-punk banger. Either way, “Ruins” is nightmare music, and should not be played near pets or pregnant women. O. Children’s debut LP, heavy with angst and ‘80s influence, will be arriving this summer.

RCRD OF THE DAY: Atari Teenage Riot - Activate
