Tell me it isn't so, just feel the ebb and flow. You madness slowly drowns me I smile and let it go.

Commodified and digitised Commercialised and redefined. I'm just a product you're in control your latest need The code you want To set me on Just flick my switch Start your search engine To download me! Rip me and then burn me You can't get enough of me Encoded in your dreams You want to download me. Play me now I'm yours to keep I won't get tired I'm on repeat I'll drain your power Suck it dry I'll never stop Until you die. I'm in your head now I won't let go I'll waste your brain All that you know I'm like a virus Infect your drives Compressed, processed And recompiled. Rip me and then burn me You can't get enough of me Encoded in your dreams You want to download me. Rip me and then burn me You can't get enough of me Encoded in your dreams You want to download me.

انه الله الاحد الله الصمد لم يلد لم يولد لم يكن له كفوا احد I’ve been pulling my feet through the dirt I’ve been dragging the depths Looking for something I had lost No more mulling the past and the hurt No I did not deserve Turn away but at what cost Feeling the strength of the below Tides getting low, turn back the boat What do you do To help yourself through The sifting of the pieces of a broken soul But then there’s you Helped me to come to With lighting up the shallows of this empty hole What do you do To help yourself through I’m scarred and still bruised from the endless fight But then there’s you Helped me to come to So I grabbed your hand you helped me back to light Tore the page of a book That was only half read How was I ever gonna learn The mirror gave me a rage of a look Grabbed my heart and it shook Closed my eyes until you returned Feeling the strength of the unknown Feels like my feet are stuck in stone What do you do To help yourself through The sifting of the pieces of a broken soul But then there’s you Helped me to come to With lighting up the shallows of this empty hole What do you do To help yourself through I’m scarred and still bruised from the endless fight But then there’s you Helped me to come to So I grabbed your hand you helped me back to light You helped me back to light Felt like I was walking the edge of a knife A shark’s eye watching me and ready to strike But it takes just one moment to get back to light To get back to the Light.

LET US RUIN YOUR DAY!

Both Marko and I were glad to see the great response to last week's mini-tease. While it's not the full-length album so many expected and hoped for, I hope you will enjoy these new mixes!

🎧 ANGEL AND THE BEAST (RUINED MIX)
One of the first songs we ever wrote, "Angel and the Beast" is perhaps a tune you have never heard. We had initially envisioned the first track on our debut album - no, it wasn't "Hrs:Min:Sec," which so many people mistakenly believe to be our first release - as a hard house-inspired club stomper, the kind of stuff that you would play at Cyberdog in London.

The only issue is that, at the time, we were utterly clueless about how to create music of this nature. Now, after a full twenty years have passed, we have at long last given it the aural shape that previously only existed in our heads.

🎧 DOWNLOAD ME (DJ GEOFF LEE MIX)
This remix is a mystery of sorts: why has something so good remained buried in our hard drives for 15 years?

Geoff Lee is, of course, the mastermind of Modulate, and a Modulate remix of this song appeared on the compilation Cryonica Tanz Vol.5 in 2008. However, this one is a substantially bouncier and more euphoric mix, and it was released on Italy's :Ritual: Magazine's promo cd. Due to its relatively limited distribution, very few people have heard of it.

Up until today, of course.

🎧 BACK TO LIGHT (PEOPLE THEATRE SPARKLE MIX)
Our good friend and long-time supporter Peter produced this remix when we released the stems for our surprise track from 2 years ago, and added his own unique touch to it.

We love it, and you will too.
