So keep you’re ears peeled for their hard edged sounds in future projects. The Machine, Hard Bass Heart Attack and Dreamcatcher are all now available to download from trackitdown.net.

Joining Geoff Lee (Modulate) and international DJ, Totentanz on the mainstage, DJ’s L8N (Resistanz Festival promoter) and Carbonel (Uberbyte) will be bringing the hard sounds of electro and industrial that has made the RevolutioN night one of the UK’s most talked about industri…al parties.

The RevolutioN clubnight started a little under 3 years ago at The Plug venue in Sheffield and ran there for a year before moving to its current home, the infamous Corporation. The night has run from strength to strength and seen some of the scenes best DJ’s and live acts (both domestic and international) take to both stage and decks thanks to the backing of Corporation. It was through working closely with the Corporation management that the first Resistanz Festival came about. Without RevolutioN there would be no festival.

Tanz die RevolutioN, Viva la Resistanz!

15 live acts: Icon Of Coil, Grendel, mind.in.a.box, Nachtmahr, Ultraviolence, Frozen Plasma, Soman, Straftanz, ESA, WASTE, Be My Enemy, Memmaker, FGFC820, Detroit Diesel and Surgyn will perform over the 2 days followed each night by after parties featuring some of the scenes very best DJ’s including: Geoff Lee (Modulate), Azrael (XP8/Faderhead), M4RC (Grendel/Shiv-R) to name but a few.

Mind.in.a.box mind.in.a.box sound of Technopop is a cross between Futurepop, Progressive Trance and cyberpunk. The live sound is much more edgy and easier to listen as on the CDs, and the ingenious integration of analog instruments boasts an innovative creativity away from the genre average. The live set shows with the songs, visuals and snippets parts of the science fiction story, which covers the albums in the style of fiction noir.

Formed in 2004, FGFC820 is the harsh EBM project from well-known and respected New York City DJs, Rexx Arkana and Dräcos. Drawing on joint
and separate influences ranging from old school industrial to modern gabber, Arkana and Dräcos combine to create a sound that is at once
melodic and relentlessly rhythmic, “bringing the ‘thump’ back to EBM”, as one reviewer put it.

Jane is the resident DJ of her club Dark-Cide (and it’s cybernetic sister event Electro-Cide) which has been hosting alt parties for over 10 years in the Northwest of England – and who’s current home is in one of the best Uni Venues in the country – 53 Degrees at UCLAN. She adores a great range of music right across the genres which means her mixes can be as specialised or as versatile as the event demands. Also a musician she’s played in various UK bands over the years (Squid/Uninvited Guest) at many UK festivals and in Europe too, and currently plays bass with brand new industro-glam-rockers Razor Cut (working on their debut album), so she’s got a huge range of experience over the years and loves nothing more than to see people out on the dancefloor having a blast and a great party.

Nightmare came to life in late 2000 when Infest Co-creators Gadge and Infest Chris, moved from their university down of Bradford to the altogether more picturesque Nottingham. Leaving the city where they started Infest behind they found Nottingham needed something New. Initially the club ran a pre xmas one off called the Nightmare Before Christmas… after that the club asked the boys to do more and how could they refuse?

Cue Nightmare, from its inception a hybrid night combining a bastard breed of upbeat alternative styles from Pop Will Eat Itself to powernoise. Infest Chris hung up his headphones after a year or so and veteran DJ Gadge recruited long standing friend Urban Cannibal to join him on the decks. Nightmare had many other resident and guest DJs come and go until we hired DJ False by accident, “False had been listed on another clubs flyers a a Nigtmare resident and rather than make him look like he was telling a porkie we hired him” – Gadge

In its ten year span as a regular clubnight Nightmare packed out show after show in a score of venues across the Midlands, the club was also notably one of the first in the UK to mix in hard dance and outside influences into traditional EBM sets… Italian Hardstyle, Electroclash, and Breakbeat were all quickly picked up on by the Nightmare crowd.

As well as packing out midlands clubs the Nightmare team have guested at so many clubs and festivals in the UK it would be easier to list the ones they haven’t spun discs at!

After ten years in the vanguard of the industrial scene the guys decided to call it a day while they were still having fun and Nightmare effectively finished in 2010 – but has since been resurrected for several ad-hoc well received retro industrial ‘Machine Nation’ specials.

A bit like the A-team, the Nightmare DJs are still out there if you can find them! Playing the upbeat, infectious and outrageous hard industrial dance music you all know and love… tempered with a wicked sense of humour and that’s exactly what they intend to bring to RESISTANZ in April.

An active DJ since 2001, M4RC has a solid history of DJ sets from all over the globe including sets at Das Bunker (Los Angeles), Vampire Party (Antwerp), Synapsi (Helsinki) and Infest (Bradford) to name just a few. M4RC knows how to blend multiple genres into one seamless performance that always leaves audiences begging for more.

Be prepared for a full out sonic assault as DJ M4RC takes to the decks at Resistanz 2012!

Her unique style in music and attitude soon caught the attention of Thomas Rainer (NACHTMAHR, L’ÂME IMMORTELLE) who was looking for young talents to add to the DJ lineup of Club Pi. Foamy established her residancy quickly. Her force at PORNO.INDUSTRIE and SCHWARZFLUG led to the foundation of the EXIT:CYBER series, Foamy’s tribute to europes growing cybergoth scene.

Sharks can not swim in a pond, and so the Foamy shifted her focus to the bigger waters. Fetish parties at Phoenix Supperclub, special guest appearances at Overdose Salzburg marked her ongoing growth in Austria, while she started to gain international recognition through appearances at places such as Londons Slimelight, Cyber Heresy Bratislava, Stahl Disko Zürich, and the legendary Resistanz Festival of Sheffield.

At dusk of 2011, Foamy grew into one of Europes leading industrial DJs and is hungry and foolish enough to spread her distorted beats into the radiating dawn of 2012.

Not a stranger to large UK clubs and festivals, DJ DeadDancer has performed his energeticsets to crowds at Club Tron, RevolutioN, his residencies Synthetica and Autonomy and even introduced Hardstyle to Sonisphere Festival 2011.

If Hardstyle is your inclination, you are not going to want to miss this experience.
