▓█░ ▐▀░█████▀ ░▒░ ██
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ Featuring classic EBM (electronic body music) and ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ Nu-Beat tracks from Nitzer Ebb, The Normal, Fad Gadget, ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ Front 242, Crash Course In Science, Skinny Puppy, DAF, ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ Liaisons Dangereuses and a new exclusive track from ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ compiler (and Gigolo) Terence Fixmer, Aktion Mekanik ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ brings together long lost/forgotten classics from the ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ 80s Belgian Nu-Beat scene, whilst highlighting their ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ influence on modern electronic composition. With tracks ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ such as The Normals Warm Leatherette being covered by ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ Chicks On Speed or bootlegged by Richard X and DJ Hell ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ covering No Mores Suicide Commando and making the ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ second half of his recent Electronicbody-housemusic mix ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ CD a homage to old and new versions of EBM, Aktion ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ Mekanik is a timely reminder of how we used to play. ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ One such current producer who certainly used to play is ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ Planete Rouge man, Terence Fixmer who has been fusing ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ EBM with modern techno ever since Electrostatic ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ launched his life as a Gigolo in the late 90s. Born in ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ Lille, on the Northern borders of Belgium it was at the ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ tender age of 15 that Fixmer fell headfirst into the ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ burgeoning EBM scene just across the border, where ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ himself and fellow friends at Ghents Music Man label ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ fanatically followed bands such as Front 242, Klinik, ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ DAF and Nitzer Ebb and frequented Belgian clubs such as ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ Boccaccio and Skyline. "I made this compilation as a ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ personal journey and to remember the well respected ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ electronic artists which are in someway our modern ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ techno forefathers," states Fixmer. "I made it just ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ because this is the music of my heart and nothing to do ░▓
█░ ▐██▀░ ░ with any 80s trend." ░▓

░░ KTMP3 was founded and the end of 2000, but it took till 16 februari █░
2001 before the first official releases came out. It all started as █▓
a big joke but we quickly learned that there was no way back. ░██
During the following months other groups made it hard for us to ▒█
survive but we did! Every month we came out stronger & stronger ░▓█
░ until what we are now. By this we like to thank all the people who ░█
░ had trusth in us and gave us the opperunity to show that, without ░█▓
░ them this group would never become what it is now! ░ ░█░
░ We hope many nice years will follow for us and we will do our best ░░█░
▒░░ to provide you with quality dance music! ▄▄▒███▓
