Happy Friday the 13th! This weekend, get Acid Washed's remix of Voorhees Stomp as pay-what-you-want via my official Bandcamp page. Download includes the fantastic Jason X-flavored sleeve by U.S. poster artist Jesse Philips. Get it here.

First quarter of 2019!

Here's a mammoth update for the first quarter of 2019! First off, the two-track Gladiatori dell'Apocalisse (edit) digital single, originally released for Groupees.com's California Wildfire Benefit, is now available to stream and download! 

Featuring two previously unreleased tracks, the long-play single sees me revisit and finalize an Italo-flavored outtake from the 2016 Gladiatori dell'Apocalisse 12" EP sessions, with Andrew Claristidge (of Acid Washed) providing a remix of the b side track The Ravagers. Available via Bandcamp and all streaming platforms, teaser video here.

Second, the physical version of my six-track EP tribute to John Carpenter's iconic 1982 classic The Thing - Outpost 31 Isn't Responding - is finally available! 

Originally released in the fall of 2015, the 2018 ’redux’ version saw the digital single completely remixed and remastered, and expanded with session outtakes, one freshly-penned track, plus my reimagining of Ennio Morricone's Humanity Pt. 1 added as bonus tracks!

Manufactured on snow-white cassettes with full color A and B side stickers, the "cassingle" comes with a wrap-around sleeve featuring Van Davis' gorgeous original artwork printed on premium recycled card stock. Available via Bandcamp! Teaser videos here and here.

Finally, having received the news that my Test Subject 011 EP is mentioned in Kevin J. Wetmore Jr's book Uncovering Stranger Things, I decided to print up a limited-edition sleeve for the 7" vinyl version to celebrate! 

The VHS-inspired alternate artwork, featuring Stranger Things character Eleven in an action pose, is printed on 130 gram folded paper stock, comes in a plastic sleeve and is hand numbered to 50 copies! 

Only available via Bandcamp here, it includes a download of the digital EP version that now adds the alternate mix of Test Subject 011 (from the Choice Cuts 2014 - 2018 album) as a bonus track!

California wildfire benefit

Make sure to check out Groupees' all-new California Wildfire Benefit Bundle that was launched today. With more than a dozen releases by a wide variety of artists and labels, plus Markosia Enterprises comics, this campaign is a benefit to California wildfire victims.

My contribution is a two-track single revisiting the 2016 Gladiatori dell'Apocalisse 12" EP, finalizing and remixing one outtake, with Acid Washed's own Andrew Claristidge providing a remix of The Ravagers. Both tracks are previously unreleased and exclusive to this benefit.

The bundle is available for a minimum of $1 with 100% of all sales being donated to the United Way's Southern California Disaster Relief Fund, who will support low-income households whose lives have been affected by the current wildfires in Southern California. Please donate here.

EDIT: The Damn Fine Network were kind enough to give both the single and the Groupees benefit campaign a shout-out on the latest episode of the Damn Fine Cast. You can stream it on SoundCloud (below), Stitcher, Libsyn, and iTunes. Check it out.

I couldn't be more thrilled to announce that Videogram's music has been made part of Groupees all-new horror and thriller-themed The Darkening Bundle!

I'm quite honored having been asked to take part in this and want to thank both Groupees and the game developers for this opportunity!

Radio Renate

Check it out: Acid Washed recently played a show at Salon - Zur wilden Renate in Berlin, and, to promote this, Andrew did an in-studio interview with Radio Renate while sharing some recent work on-air, including their remix of Voorhees Stomp. The show is available on SoundCloud, you can stream it below.

Speaking of which: Videogram's Voorhees Stomp (Acid Washed Remix) is now available to purchase via Amazon, Deezer, Google Play, as well as iTunes. Check it out.

Voorhees Stomp (Acid Washed Remix)!

Artwork by Jesse Philips.

Just in time for Friday the 13th, French electronic duo Acid Washed sink their teeth into Voorhees Stomp, the tongue-in-cheek tribute to Crystal Lake's favorite mama's boy!

The Record Makers' artists - whose previous remix collaborations include Moby, Wolfmother, and Jimmy Somerville - updates the fun, retro-tinged 2015 original and delivers a hard-edged, stomping crossover dance remix with powerful rhythm, booming effects, and ominous, eerie synths.

The track comes with outstanding Jason X-themed artwork by U.S. poster artist Jesse Philips, whose impressive portfolio includes a wide variety of artists such as The Pixies, Radiohead, Napalm Death, and Beck, to mention just a few.

Available as a digital-only track via my official Bandcamp page, with iTunes, Google Play etc. following on Friday the 13th. Get it here.

Disco Suicide Podcast 011: Acid Washed!

Head on over to SoundCloud and check out Acid Washed's latest mix for Disco Suicide! The French duo, signed to Record Makers (Kavinsky etc.), offers up an hour's worth of dance-friendly material from a wide variety of artists such as Andrew Weatherall, Moscoman and Khidja, and even added In 2077 A.D. off my Gladiatori dell'Apocalisse EP! Check it out here.

This isn't the first time the duo has been kind to include Videogram sounds in their work. Last year they added Voorhees Stomp off my Camp Blood 10" EP on their radio show for Heartbeats. More on that here.

Acid Washed Remix (update) and The Mutilator!

First off, check out this all-new The Mutilator t-shirt I got via VHS Dreams on Teepublic! Goes nicely with the Arrow Video DVD/Blu-Ray combo I recently got. The Arrow release is (once again, I gotta add) a fan boy's wet dream with a beautiful uncut transfer and tons of bonus goodies, and the t-shirt features unused concept art. Check them out here and here.

EDIT: Seems like I'm not the only fan of this slasher classic. The brilliant Dangerous Minds just posted a mammoth review-slash-Buddy Cooper interview on their website. Check it out here.

In other news I just received the all-new Acid Washed remix. I've given it plenty of spins throughout the day and it sounds amazing! This French DJ duo most recently collaborated with Moby (link below), and listening to the final results I can share that it's very Camp Blood-esque, very dance floor friendly and with a healthy dose of John Carpenter injected into it! Me and Cineploit are currently working out both the artwork and physical details, so stay tuned for more info!

Acid Washed

Here's some exciting news for you to check out: DJ duo Acid Washed just included Voorhees Stomp off my Camp Blood EP on their most recent radio show on Heartbeats. A pleasant surprise indeed, I can't thank the guys enough for sharing my music. Turns out they're fans of this project and have spun the EP on several of their performances. Check out their official Facebook page here and listen to the show here.

The duo most recently remixed Moby's Almost Loved - receiving praise from none other than Mute Records - and although I don't wanna give too much away at the moment, there is a Videogram remix coming later this year. Stay tuned for more info on that one!

In other news, UK's The Scream Review recently gave my Pre-Cert LP/CD a track-by-track review. Calling it an "absolute buy" and with an "entirely unique track list", you can read it in full here.
