Side-Line Magazine Presents “Electronic Bodies”: A Global EBM Charity Compilation

In 2023, Side-Line Magazine, based in Brussels (BE), proudly presents its latest endeavor, the charity compilation “Electronic Bodies,” a captivating collection of 88 tracks from the EBM (Electronic Body Music) underground scene.

This compilation delves deep into the rhythmic realms of EBM, New Beat, and their contemporary offshoots. Featuring artists from diverse corners of the globe, including Germany, Australia, the United States, Estonia, and beyond, it showcases the enduring global influence of EBM, a genre established over 40 years ago.

Side-Line’s commitment to promoting both emerging talents and established bands remains steadfast, as it continues to serve as a platform for launching new artists. Special recognition goes to Erlend Eilertsen (Lights A.M, Essence Of Mind) for skillfully enhancing certain tracks when necessary.

The “Electronic Bodies” compilation is a sonic journey divided into two distinct halves: the first immerses listeners in old-school vibes, while the latter grants bands greater creative freedom in terms of sound.

In a compassionate gesture, all donations from this endeavor will be directed toward providing psychological support to Ukrainian soldiers and citizens grappling with PTSD.

For those who relish a tangible connection to the music, Side-Line offers an exclusive ‘Electronic Bodies’ T-shirt. In true EBM spirit, there’s also a combo package available, which includes a limited edition, hand-numbered Electronic Bodies flask. Each merchandise order includes a download of the compilation, ensuring the beats never cease.

Shipping for merchandise orders is scheduled for the first week of October. Early ordering is encouraged to help gauge stock requirements.

Side-Line’s legacy of impactful compilations includes releases such as “The Insane Vaults,” “Face The Beat: Sessions 1-7,” “Shane Aungst vs Face The Beat Megamixes,” “Post-Punk (Genesis),” “Electronic Resistance,” “Electronic Resistance – Reconstruction,” “Ukraina EP,” and now, “Electronic Bodies: Session 1.”
