Big Tip! *2024 much needed reissue!!* For about three decades, Michael Contreras has been one of the most consistently intriguing artists in the Industrial Noise scene, beginning under the name Trucido, then as Death Squad, and most recently as MK9.

Another major piece of his body of work was almost lost, however, near…

Edward Ka-Spel's singular capacity to trace the mystical journey of the Shadow Weaver is, as always, matched perfectly by the DOTS' mastery of psychedelic sound designs. For over a decade the Dots have continued to quiet…
