Electronic agitator SPANKTHENUN, in collaboration with Belgian EBM pioneers A Split-Second, has officially released “Broken Machine”—a comprehensive New Beat and EBM reworking of the 1989 industrial landmark “Muscle Machine.”
Originally issued via Wax Trax! Records and Antler Records, Muscle Machine helped define an era of body-driven electronics and militant club culture. With Broken Machine, that original blueprint has been fully dismantled and reassembled for the present day.
This reboot doesn’t chase nostalgia—it weaponizes it. Classic structures are deconstructed and reshaped to reflect modern system failure, societal decay, and the grinding tension of a world stuck in perpetual malfunction. The result is a stark, club-focused release that bridges late-’80s industrial DNA with contemporary EBM and New Beat aesthetics.
Broken Machine stands as both a tribute and a warning: the systems we built are cracking, and the soundtrack has been rewritten to match the collapse.

Re:Mission Entertainment has just unleashed a pulse-pounding new release: Void of Love, the darkly seductive two-track EP from Voix in the Dark and Maduro. 💔🕯️
Philadelphia-based dark synth conjurer Voix in the Dark (DeShawn Timothy) teams up with veteran sonic alchemist Maduro (Dave Buracker) to resurrect the icy allure of early 2000s electroclash and inject it with modern darkwave urgency. Together, they summon ghosts from dancefloors long lost — channeling the minimalist danger of Miss Kittin & The Hacker while weaving in current dark electro and synth pop textures.
💿 Mastered by Adam Stilson (Patriarchy, Pixel Grip, Hide, Ritual Howls), Void of Love is a compact but cutting statement — stark, stylish, and emotionally raw. Whether you’re brooding under red lights or getting lost in late-night neon, this EP delivers synth-drenched sorrow for the romantically ruined.
