Toronto’s nTTx inks deal with WTII Records, LLC
Toronto’s EBM/synthpop hybrid, nTTx, has signed a worldwide deal with Louisville based WTII Records, LLC. Formed in 2015 and the brainchild of Gord Clement, former singer/songwriter of Atomzero. nTTx steals elements from EBM, synthpop and industrial, and completes this sonic landscape with strong, melodic vocals that range from soft and delicate, to powerful and in your face.
nTTx made his debut with the independent release of the single, 'Falls Beautiful' back in May. The single contained the title track and a Depeche Mode cover as a b-side. ‘Falls Beautiful’ was an instant hit and a quickly climbed to the top of the German Electronic Webchart (GEWC), spending 4 weeks in the top 15. The song also received critical acclaim from the press with descriptions like "master work" and "features slightly reminiscent of Nitzer Ebb or Spetsnaz mixed with groups like Depeche Mode".
nTTx’s WTII debut EP is scheduled for release in early 2016, featuring 4 original songs along with remixes from Caustic, Stars Crusaders and others.
Doctrin Releases Video for "Give Me Love"
Melbourne & Los Angeles-based DOCTRIN,the brainchild of Australian-born singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Dolly Denko announces the January 15th release of the debut EP The Deep. Co-produced by Dolly and Maxwell Moon (Joanna Newsom, Young The Giant) at Seahorse Sound in downtown L.A. the EP features five songs of infectious dark alternative pop that brings to mind shades of Shirley Manson, Placebo and Metric.
The video for the EP’s first single “Give Me Love” premieres exclusively with Yahoo! Music. Helmed by Ms. Denko herself with cinematography by Heath Saunders (Walk The Moon, Katy Perry) its an edgy and darkly humorous video that deals with unrequited love alongside bondage and burlesque.
"I wanted to combine body positive burlesque-inspired visuals with the song's message; that you just can't force love and you'll be OK on your own in the end,” said Dolly to Yahoo! “You shouldn't have to beg for love or pull out a bag of tricks. If it's not there, let it go. Find yourself and eat some cake! The video was incredibly fun to shoot, but that's easy for me to say because I'm not the one that was tied to a bed having hot wax poured over me!"

Binary Creed Releases New Video for "In A Time To Come"
Binary Creed will release their second album "A Battle Won" in 2016, That release has seen the band release it's first single from it, "In A Time To Come". The first single turned video was produced by Frogtown and Konstantin Smirnov. The track was mixed by Ronnie Björnström and EAP Productions.
The album tells a story about the madness of war, no matter the scale, no matter the reason. The protagonist is taking a stand against the vile forces that transform our fellow man into something less than that. We live in a time when making such decisions is more important than ever before.
