If you are looking for new bands to listen to, Cold Transmission has recently released two compilations full of interesting music. In the first one, Spotlight vol 2,<\/em> we can find a quite extensive sample of the artists that have recorded for the label in their four years of existence. Including popular acts such as ULTRA SUNN<\/strong>, Mark E Moon<\/strong>, IAMTHESHADOW<\/strong> or S Y Z Y G Y X<\/strong>, Spanish band DILK<\/strong>, and some other projects that have caught our attention recently, like Bedless Bones<\/strong> and\u00a0Night Nail<\/strong>. The compilation consists in two CDs full of really cool post-punk, darkwave and coldwave with up to 38 artists. A part of the proceeds is donated for humanitarian purposes in Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"At El Garaje, we have already interviewed four of those 38 bands and we will try to interview a fifth one soon. ULTRA SUNN<\/strong>\u00a0appear here with one of their hits “Young Foxes”. Mark E Moon<\/strong> are included with a demo of “Hearts Keep Bleeding” while IAMTHESHADOW<\/strong> looks back to his first album for the occasion. Madrid-based three-piece DILK<\/strong> contribute with “Bad Habits”, one of their best compositions, released in physical format for the first time. Among the rest, we would like to point out a few names: The Secret French Postcards<\/strong>, was one of the first acts of the label and their composition included here is quite good. Italian duo Iamnoone<\/strong> are getting quite popular lately, and you can understand it after listening to the track included. It’s the first time that we hear Camlann, <\/strong>but we will pay attention to future releases as we have really liked their song. The “dark Japan<\/strong>” vibe of White Mansion<\/strong> has arisen our curiosity too. Instead, last year I bought the second LP of duo Palais Ideal <\/strong>and quite like it, although their contribution to this album is from their third one. Reconvert<\/strong> was another of the projects that released material with Cold Transmission during their first days and represents the more experimental side of the label. For fans of post punk\/darkwave there is plenty to listen to in the compilation, like Cold Field<\/strong>, Cruel Reflections <\/strong>or Cirque d’Ess<\/strong>. S Y Z Y G Y X<\/strong> appear in the compilation with “Cold Touch”, a digital single from last year. Bedless Bones<\/strong> contribute with a remix from their first work that is not included in the remix album After Malaise. <\/em>We have heard a lot of praise of the last album of synthpop act La M\u00e9canique<\/strong>, and here you can check that it was deserved. Cult of Alia, <\/strong>the project of a member of Creux Lies <\/strong>is another act to follow.\u00a0Carlo Onda <\/strong>is an artist that we already knew as Violaine has played some of his tracks in the past, his track included here is also worth of a mention.<\/span><\/p>

Instead, the new Zeitgeist series (let’s remember that Cold Transmission started with these compilations) is more a treat for vinyl lovers who are interested in the more electronic side of the label. In Zeitgeist Chrome Vol. 01, <\/em>there are ten tracks, two of the exclusive of the album and one (ULTRA SUNN’s<\/strong>) previously unreleased. Cold Transmission label has been characterized by its international approach, reaching even the Latin American scene, as we can see here with Mexican\u00a0Sundata <\/strong>and Colombian\u00a0NOROMAKINA<\/strong>. Also, we can find again La M\u00e9canique, <\/strong>in this occasion with a remix of a track from their last album made by\u00a0Pedro Code (IAMTHESHADOW<\/strong>). The compilation also includes tracks by Dead Lights<\/strong>, Cult of Alia<\/strong>, A Sinister Light<\/strong> and S Y Z Y G Y X<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
