We keep going amid the lockdown. There are new releases, and still, new music coming through, and buying music right now is the only way we can help. The events listing is still being updated, but obviously, an awful lot is being postponed, cancelled or changed right now.

/transmission – the amodelofcontrol.com podcast – has returned, continuing the run through of the a-z of industrial, with all episodes thus far are here. The latest episode is /transmission/022, which continues with the letter N. /transmission/023 will follow soon.

You can also get it via RSS, on iTunes, on Stitcher, and is also now available on the Google Podcasts App (search “amodelofcontrol”) and Spotify too.

If you want to submit anything to be included here? E-mail me (You know what to do with that to make it work, right?), comment/message on Facebook at the amodelofcontrol.com page, and over on Twitter (@amodelofcontrol).

/This Week/New Releases

As usual, something to catch-up with from recent weeks first: the ever-interesting Stoneburner released Beauty is Terror last week.

This week we have an intriguing mix: Autoclav1.1 returns with Nothing Outside (see also /Talk Show Host/064 linked below), Swiss electronic veterans Yello release POINT, Powerman 5000 return with The Noble Rot, while the intriguing band Private World release Aleph.

While also out today is six+six by Daniel B., a fantastic reworking of a handful of his tracks from Front 242 and MALE OR FEMALE to mark his sixty-sixth (!) birthday – including a monstrous, techno-fied eleven-minute take on the mighty Happiness…

/This Week/Upcoming Releases

With the new album delayed into 2021, Carcass are instead releasing the Despicable EP on 30-Oct, which should tide us over nicely. While on 11-Sep, Vancouver stoner metallers Dead Quiet release Truth and Ruin.

On 15-Sep, TC75 (Tino Claus from the excellent Amnistia) releases Popmusesick, and on 18-Sep synapscape release A Journey Through Concern (I’ll add the link once it’s online). The fascinating industrial/experimental rap act Clipping. release their fifth album, Visions of Bodies Being Burned, on 23-Oct, and the bleak new single Say The Name is an excellent introduction.

Finally, the legendary War Child album HELP gets a vinyl release in September to mark it’s twenty-fifth anniversary.

/Upcoming/Gigs/Club Nights/Events

Obviously things have rather changed right now, and I’m updating events as they are postponed or cancelled, and also including relevant Livestreams as they are announced.

This weekly listing has now seen a significant overhaul and has moved over to a Shareable calendar format. The below draws direct from a GCal I’ve long maintained, and you can add it to your own calendar views if you wish (GCal link, iCal link), and then you will get dynamic updates as I get them. Otherwise, see the events listing below – click on the links to bring up the Calendar entry.

If you have updates, relevant events for me, or want to tell me about something else, use the contact details above. It goes without saying that any gig or club still in the listing is subject to change at short notice, or may not happen at all.

One notable event coming up – with the postponement of this year’s Infest, there is a 12-hour Stay-in-Fest on Saturday 29-August. Stay tuned for further updates of what is going on that day.

/amodelofcontrol.com/next week

Look out for /Tuesday Ten/424, and a number of interviews – however, work has meant I’ve had to dial back on writing a little recently.

The next upcoming livestreams from /amodelofcontrol.com can always be found here. Coming up this week: I’m involved with /Stay-In-Fest tomorrow (DJing at 1300, and presenting a number of video interviews across the day), and /Stormblast/137 next Thursday.
