Three Decades of Industrial Defiance Continue with “30 YEARS STRONG – V2 (2006–2015)”



DSBP Records continues its 30th-anniversary celebration with the second chapter of

its massive retrospective series, turning the spotlight toward another decade of underground electronic and industrial history.

30 Years Strong—and Still Underground

Thirty years in underground music is more than an anniversary. It represents decades of releases, artists, changing scenes, evolving technology, packed industrial dancefloors and the stubborn refusal to let independent music disappear into the machinery of the mainstream.

Now DSBP Records is continuing that story with “30 YEARS STRONG – V2 (2006–2015),” a new 33-track compilation released on CD and digitally as part of the label’s ongoing 30th-anniversary celebration.

The new collection follows 30 YEARS STRONG – V1 (1996–2005), which launched the retrospective earlier in 2026. DSBP has described the overall project as a three-volume celebration representing 30 years of the label, with approximately 100 songs selected from its artists and catalog across the complete series.



The Second Decade Enters the Machine

Volume 2 shifts the timeline forward to 2006 through 2015, continuing an archival journey through a period when industrial, EBM, dark electro, power noise and experimental electronic music were rapidly evolving alongside an increasingly digital underground.

That makes 30 YEARS STRONG more than a conventional compilation series. Taken together, the three planned volumes function as a musical timeline documenting the artists and sounds that passed through the DSBP universe across three decades.

The label itself specializes in electronic, industrial, power noise, experimental, EBM, IDM, coldwave and synthpop, with its roots firmly planted in the underground industrial scene.

And DSBP isn’t treating its anniversary as an excuse to simply look backward. Its Bandcamp catalog remains active with new releases in 2026, placing this retrospective alongside the music the label continues to push into the underground today.

Thirty-three tracks is a serious slab of music, but for a compilation tasked with representing an entire decade, excess feels appropriate. Volume 2 isn’t simply celebrating survival—it’s documenting the years, artists and music that made that survival possible.

🎶 Listen Now



With one decade already documented and 2006–2015 now stepping into the spotlight, DSBP Records is steadily assembling a musical archive of its own history. Three decades after entering the underground, the machinery is still running—and there is still another chapter waiting to be opened.

Interface releases Forever – 100% of proceeds for the family of Rexx Arkana

Industrial veterans Interface have quietly issued Forever (Limited Time Benefit), a one-off release recorded originally for a benefit compilation and now offered as a pay-what-you-want single. The band dedicates the track to Rexx Arkana; all earnings from this limited release will be donated to his family as they cope with his passing.

Forever (Limited Time Benefit) Cover Art

The recording is Interface’s take on Bruderschaft’s “Forever,” tracked for a late‑2025 benefit project and now reissued as a focused fundraising single. Interface frames the release as time‑limited, available until the next Bandcamp Friday on August 7th, with every cent raised going to Rexx Arkana’s family fund.

Interface brings their signature dark synth textures and synthetic percussion to the cover, emphasizing atmosphere and emotional weight over overt flash. The arrangement leans on brooding pads and restrained melodies, letting the song’s elegiac core drive the performance rather than aggressive tempo changes or heavy-handed production tricks.

🎶 Listen Now

Beyond being a strong interpretation of a genre classic, the single functions as a community gesture: artists using their platform and catalogue to provide immediate financial support for a peer’s family. Limited releases like this concentrate attention and donations in a short window, which can make a meaningful difference for those left behind.

16VOLT Returns with ‘White Noise’—First New Single in 7 Years

Full-Length Album ‘More Of Less’ Drops July 25th via Metropolis Records

💥 Industrial rock trailblazers 16VOLT are back with a searing new single, “White Noise,” out June 20, 2025 via Metropolis Records, and available now to stream and on Bandcamp. The track marks the band’s first fresh material in seven years and serves as the lead single from their upcoming album More Of Less, due out July 25th on LP, CD, and digital formats.

🎶 Listen Now:
Bandcamp

“‘White Noise’ is a song about feeling unheard,” explains founding member Eric Powell, who signed his first record deal back in 1991 as a teenager. “When your voice gets drowned out and it seems like no one is listening to you— to others, you become just white noise, that static sound of nothingness.”

The track arrives just weeks after the band’s 1993 debut Wisdom was issued on vinyl for the first time—selling out immediately. Powell officially revived 16VOLT in 2024 with Negative On Arrivals, a retrospective release compiling tracks from their 2016 and 2017 albums.


Upcoming Album: More Of Less (Out July 25, 2025)

Tracklist:

  1. More Of Less
  2. White Noise
  3. On Memory Lane
  4. The Worst Of Us
  5. If You Like It
  6. Empty As Hell
  7. Unfolding Time
  8. Add It All Up
  9. Then The World
  10. Down Here

💀 A Legacy Forged in Static and Steel

Emerging from the early ‘90s industrial scene, 16VOLT quickly made their mark with albums like Wisdom, Skin, and LetDownCrush, working with genre-defining producers like David Ogilvie (Skinny Puppy), Keith “Fluffy” Auerbach (Ministry), and Jeff “Critter” Newell (NIN, blink-182).

Despite industry setbacks—including legal clashes during the release of SuperCoolNothing—Powell’s tenacity paid off. He bought back the rights to the album and brokered a deal with Sony to feature it in the cult PlayStation game Primal.

By the 2000s, 16VOLT was deep in the Metropolis Records era, releasing powerhouse records like FullBlackHabit, American Porn Songs, and Beating Dead Horses, which featured guests like Paul Raven (Killing Joke, Prong), Steve White (KMFDM), and mix engineer Shaun Thingvold (Strapping Young Lad).

The band’s genre-defiant style and visceral live shows earned them tours with heavyweights like Korn, Filter, Prong, Revolting Cocks, Stabbing Westward, and Front 242.
