FIXT to Release Latest Blue Stahli Single "Corner" on Tues, April 27th

Blue Stahli - "Corner"

"Corner", Blue Stahli's sixth single, is the last stop before the artist's full length album comes later this year. Corner exhibits all we've come to expect from Stahli. Menacing bass-line grooves set the scene for huge metal guitar riffs, and Bret's agile vocal work will in one moment match the aggressiveness of the guitar attack but in the next will contrast it with smooth melody. And, once again, top-notch production and electronic flourishes take what would be simply a great rock song and bring it up to a level of hybrid wonder that says, in no uncertain terms, that Stahli is more than worthy of your attention.

The release will come in both a standard version with Instrumental as well as a Deluxe Version with Bonus Content, including Beta Cessions Demos and Audio Commentary.

Available Tuesday, April 27th, at the FiXT Store.

FIXT to Release Epic-Length Moonitor Album from Sebastian Komor On Tues, April 27th

Moonitor - To The Past, From The Future, In The Present

Hot on the heels of his Squarehead album, EBM/electro mastermind Sebastian Komor presents his full length Moonitor project. Over a decade in the making, Moonitor evolved out of some of Komor's earliest experimentation with electronic music in the mid 90s but was shelved in favor of his membership in the critically acclaimed Icon of Coil. Now, at last, these tracks have been dusted off and finished, and have generated brand new material alongside. Komor mixes elements of EBM, progressive house, trance, and even breakbeat and world music to create a unique experience within the world of electronic music. With smooth house beats, steady electro synth lines, and the distinctive influence of world tribal styles (even a didgeridoo makes an appearance), Moonitor acts as the psychedelic counterpoint to the aggressive and gritty hard techno of Squarehead.

The album features 16 tracks, with 2 bonus, album-only, tracks available exclusively through the FiXT Store, clocking in at over 100 minutes of audio for the standard version and over 116 minutes with the inclusion of the bonus tracks.

Available Tuesday, April 27th from the FiXT Store.
