CK 37 launches debut EBM single, ‘Gymsadist’ – Out now
The Swedish EBM act CK 37 presents its first single, “Gymsadist”. It’s the debut single for the trio consisting of S.A. Dist, Ossi Oscillator and The Synth Panda.
The single is out via pbhmedia and is like the band says “a portrayal of how technology and emotions can meet in an unexpected way, where the raw energy of gym culture encounters the suppressed dark side of our digital society.”
CK 37 stands for Central Calculator 37, an ancient flight computer developed by Datasaab. Musically they are blending aggressive beats and industrial soundscapes. Their music reflects the dark, dystopian themes often found in EBM, characterized by harsh vocals and driving rhythms. CK 37, like other Swedish acts in the scene, taps into the renewed interest in EBM, which originated in the 1980s in Europe and has remained a staple in industrial and underground electronic music.
Swedish EBM has a long tradition of producing influential acts like Covenant and Spetsnaz, and CK 37’s music fits right into this hard-hitting, no-compromise approach.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
