With a little less than a month to go until the worldwide release of their second full album for DWA “Satellite Empire”, it’s time for us to unleash the second single from that album – the ominously-titled “Full Scale Revolt”.

And there has been no economy of scale involved in putting this together either. “Full Scale Revolt” comes as a 6-track EP featuring remixes from DOPE STARS INC., IVARDENSPHERE and DWA labelmates RUINIZER and SERAPHIM SYSTEM, plus the exclusive B-side “H.E.V.”

And it literally is “a B-side” too – because in addition to the digital release timetabled for today (October 9th), we have had the entire EP re-mastered for vinyl by Kolja Trelle at Koltron Music Production and sent it off to be lathecut on heavyweight transparent 12” vinyl. This ultra-limited edition of x25 hand-cut hand-numbered units will come mid-November with full-colour labels and a wraparound poster to display the clear nature of the vinyl through an outer PVC sleeve.

For the insatiable collectors out there, this limited edition clear lathe-cut vinyl version is another must-have artefact from DWA’s burgeoning library of analogue curiosities..!

Australian 4-piece cyberpunk act SIRUS are back with a breathtaking new album that exceeds all expectation and almost defies description.

In their homeland, SIRUS have opened for bands like Combichrist, Hocico, Grendel, Aesthetic Perfection and God Module – and this year made their European live debut to a rapturous reception at Resistanz Festival UK.

An energetic fusion of contemporary electronic styles, “Satellite Empire” is a superbly futuristic-sounding production. From the opening salvo of “Surveillance State” and “Full Scale Revolt”, through to the mournfully beautiful closing ambience of “Surfacing”, this is an album that truly defies simplistic categorization, and which redefines the boundaries of what “industrial” can aspire to be in this 21st century.

Forget finding here a record full of 4-to-the-floor tracks at one BPM from start to finish – this is an intricate album that segues smoothly and effortlessly between styles and tempos, sometimes even within many of the songs themselves, without ever missing a beat.

The CD first edition of “Satellite Empire” comes in 4-panel digipak and features 3 remixes exclusive to this CD-version – by iVardensphere and previous touring buddies of SIRUS in Australia Grendel and Aesthetic Perfection. Strictly limited to 300 units worldwide.

Usual DWA 20% “Hayawari” pre-order discount applies until day of release: save $3 off the usual $15 USD price-tag and grab yourself 3 tracks NOW as immediate free download while you wait:

There are not many acts out there capable of reaching this level of ingenuity and production quality, let alone sustaining it over the course of an entire album of epic song-structures averaging 6 minutes each – but with this second album for DWA, SIRUS have come of age…and their empire is at hand. See the official trailer, in its full cinematic glory, on our DWA-TV YouTube Channel:

“Satellite Empire” will be released worldwide on November 6th…

Every year at DWA we manage to find some new spin on the concept of compilation albums – and 2015 is no exception!

We present you with an eclectic collection of cover versions originally written and performed by 80s icons A Flock Of Seagulls, Army Of Lovers, Depeche Mode, Beastie Boys and Den Harrow, 90s alt rockers Deftones and Korn, industrial scene legends Grendel and And One, dating back as far as 1975 with seminal electro pioneers Kraftwerk all the way through to Nicki Minaj shaking her booty just a couple of years ago.

And yes “present” might just be the key word here – because you can pick this up for JUST ONE LOUSY US DOLLAR if you feel so inclined!

Well over a couple of years in the making since the original idea started being floated around the DWA roster, the level of satisfaction at this finally seeing the light of day is palpable…
Bands known principally for electronic music like vProjekt and Technolorgy reveal their talents on more traditional guitars and drums, acts like Terrolokaust and Sirus known for their electro style tackle 90s alt rock anthems…

Including 8 tracks previously unreleased, and by popular demand an instrumental mix of CygnosiC‘s massive international hit “Mad Desire”, we bring you THE soundtrack of the summer 2015…all for as little as JUST $1 or however much you may think it is worth…

ONE DOLLAR?!?!? WHAT are we talking about?
Well, we set the minimum price for downloading this album to $1 rather than “free” because EVEN IF you give “cover” songs away free you STILL have a legal obligation to pay the composer(s) of each track the statutory $0.091 due under Mechanical Copyright laws. On an 11 track album that adds up to just over $1 – so that is just our minimum legal obligation, not even considering any “production costs”.
“SO HOW MUCH SHOULD I PAY???“.
Well, $1 at least please – so that we don’t have to. But if you really want to know what we think would be “fair: “SUGGESTED PRICE: $5“.
Hey – we’re even virtually giving it away for that price on CD, let alone as a download…
