First Preview from the new EP

///ENGLISH

The NACHTMAHR artillery is entering combat mode again: On October 21st, the Imperial Industrial world power releases the EP „Can You Feel The Beat?“ that already caused quite a stir a copule of weeks ago when numerous international beat hordes answered the remix contest call of commander Thomas Rainer.

Now, this world’s combat dancing troops can get a first impression of the upcoming assault – in guise of a GRENDEL remix that turned the title track into a ravishing monster.

As usual, this is far from everything you can expect from the upcoming release: A whole load of 13 tracks wait to be unleashed, among them three all new tracks and a mountain of remix work by acts like SUICIDE COMMANDO or X-RX. What’s more: The truly dedicated NACHTMAHR followers should watch out for the strictly limited “fan edition” of the EP containing an exclusive white polo shirt – but be aware: The definitive deadline for pre-orders is September 26th, 2011. Don’t miss it!

Die NACHTMAHR-Artillerie wird wieder auf Gefechtsstation gebracht: Am 21.10.2011 veröffentlicht die Imperial Industrial-Weltmacht die EP „Can You Feel The Beat?“, die schon vor wenigen Wochen durch den internationalen Remixcontest hohe Wellen schlug. Jetzt können sich die Tanztruppen dieser Welt erstmals einen Höreindruck von der knallharten Veröffentlichung verschaffen – in Form eines GRENDEL-Remixes, der aus dem Titelstück ein furios marschierendes Beatinferno gemacht hat.

Ihr Pulver hat die explosive EP damit natürlich längst nicht verschossen: Ganze 13 Tracks warten auf ihre Freilassung, darunter drei brandneue Tracks und weitere Neubearbeitungen von Szenegrößen wie SUICIDE COMMANDO oder X-RX. Und für die getreuen NACHTMAHR-Brigaden gibt es die Veröffentlichung auch als streng limitierte „Fan Edition“, die zusätzlich ein exklusives weißes Poloshirt enthält – aber aufgemerkt: Die strikte Vorbestelldeadline für dieses Set ist der 26.09.2011. Nicht verpassen!

Can YOU feel the beat? - Winners announced!

Dear comrades,

At first we want to thank everybody of the 99 remixers that submitted their work to the contest for their contribution. We are proud to see there is so much exceptional talent in our fan base and with people like you stirring up the scene, our movement has a big and bright future, but now to the part all of you have been waiting for:

The supreme commander and his staff of advisors have passed their verdict. It was a hard decision making process because of the great quality of the submitted works, but one stood out from the beginning.

Deadless remix by DIRTY BIRD 13 (Ukraine)
This version came in less then 48 hours after the files were put online and the mix immediatley got us hooked as it has everything we want from a remix. It's club oriented, makes creative use of the provided materials, doesn't copy the original song structure but still delivers the song's message.
We are very proud that we can feature this track on our upcoming release

alongside remixes by SUICIDE COMMANDO, GRENDEL, X-RX and others.

but that's not it...

We also couldn't get another version out of our heads, as it takes the song into a completely different direction adding punk guitars, ska vocals and old school synths:

Rioters Anthem by POPULATION (UK)
Those guys really walked the extra mile by recording tons of new material for their mix, fighting with out of date soft and hardware and a puking singer during vocal recordings. It's these reinterpretations that makes us see our music in a different light and it's amazing to witness this new perspective being brought to life.

As we also want to show you this other side of NACHTMAHR's music, the supreme commander decided to feature this cover version / remix as a special bonus track on the next release.

The winners of the contest will be contacted individually.

Thanks to all of you again for your participation and everybody who wants to stay in touch with all the other remixers, you can use this platform: NACHTMAHR Remix Veterans Association on Facebook

The need to conquer

dear comrades,

the strong grip of the supreme commander has already reached out to many countries and continents, but there are places still untouched by the imperial strike force.

We need YOUR help to get our name out there and tell promoters to book us. The more exotic the location the better - we come prepared! contact via e-mail to: booking@nachtmahr.at
