Voltage Control period 1990-1992 compiled on vinyl
Out via Mannequin Records on vinyl on July 5th is “Voltage Control (1990-1992)”, a compilation of the Dutch EBM-Techno pioneers Voltage Control aka Arno Peeters & Tibor Fülöp. The compilation comes with a selection of their dancefloor tracks originally released on the legendary Belgian label Antler Subway.
The duo was inspired by Front 242, Skinny Puppy and Clock DVA and both Arno and Tibor were fellow students at the Centre of Electronic Music (CEM) in Arnhem/NL during the mid 80’s. After getting a record deal with Antler Subway, they started producing their first EP while acid house hit Europe. As a result they incorporated some of those influences in their first record, “Force d’Inquisition” released in 1990.
The compilation includes also the legendary “Apocalypse”, which was quite a hit at the time both in the EBM and acid scene. Arno Peeters was later part of Random XS and Urban Electro on Djax-Up-Beats. The release is dedicated to Tibor Fülöp, who died in 2010.
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.
