DE TOT COR

Last post on this blog seemed to be the last one for this year, but there's time for another one. An important one.
As you might have noticed, this year DE_TOT_COR released a new album "Gothic Light" (CD + digital). There are about only 40 copies left now, and there will be no more, NEVER. Just get yours HERE if you want to support this music.
I would like to thank everyone who bought this album, and there will be a present for you in 2012 (not only words). We'll be releasing a new EP with new tracks, reworks and remixes. This new EP will be sent for FREE to those who bought/will buy the "Gothic Light" album (digital or CD, it doesn't matter). There is just one little problem: If you bought the album through DSBP or POPoNAUT, please send an email to detotcorgothiclight [at] gmail.com telling about this. The ones who bought/will buy directly through me, Discogs or Bandcamp, kein problem.
The new EP will be out before summer, with new music, new vocals, new remixers, new artwork, new everything... and better! 2012 will be better.

It's been two months since the release of the limited physical-edition of the new DE_TOT_COR album "Gothic Light". Now it's time for those who prefer digital releases: "Gothic Light" is available in digital format (http://detotcor.bandcamp.com/album/gothic-light). You can also listen to the whole album online.
Thanks to everyone who bought the CD. If you still haven't done it, remember there will be no more copies when the limited edition runs out. You can get "Gothic Light" at the best stores in the web: DSBP Records (USA/Canada) and POPoNAUT (Europe). You can also order some copies directly at detotcorgothiclight[at]gmail[dot]com. Support independent artists and buy music.
We are not machines.

Musicians make albums and listeners listen to the music. DJs play tracks and journalists write news and opinions. "Gothic Light" is out for everyone who wants to listen to 16 dark-electronic songs. DE_TOT_COR is not spending money on marketing. Paying for stories, reviews, being on a magazine CD compilation, club plays... Everything costs money (a lot of money). Let's not focus on comercial media. There are a lot of people doing interesting things, and for free. I write a short list (but I'm sure there are many more): Promonetics.com, DJ Hive, The Miss Jinny Show, Electraumatisme, Cyberage Radio, Con!tro!lo, Dark Essence Radio, Ruhrschall.com, Noize Magazine, Dark Mother Media, Wnrn.org (Virginia radio, USA)... if anyone knows more, just add it on comments.
The picture attached is the cover of the next Noize Magazine, it will be out soon, featuring a DE_TOT_COR interview. They released a free-compilation a few months ago (get it here). Besides I would like to thank my friend End:theDJ for the interview I did for Vampire Freaks website.
It's been days of promotion work. Thanks to DSBP Records the album is distributed in USA and Canada, and now you also can get it from POPoNAUT webshop! This is not a comercial statement.

The new DE_TOT_COR album "Gothic Light" is officially released on the 1st of October. All of those who pre-ordered it should received the CD within the next few days. Thanks to everyone who has already bought it! Nearly 40% of the copies run out before the release date. Get yours soon HERE if you want one!
As you'll notice, I'll continue doing the distribution in Europe and DSBP Records will distribute "Gothic Light" thru the USA and Canada (they'll have the album in stock soon).
"Gothic Light" will be released as digital format in December.

The physical copies of "Gothic Light" have arrived. The whole process has been a lot quicker than being in a label. Next week all pre-orders will be sent, and the album will be officially released on October the 1st. Now it's your turn to get a copy. Remember this is a limited edition. There will be no more physical copies when these run out (click here to get yours).
I just re-listened to the whole album again. It's different from "Dead Heart EP". It will be different from what I will do from now on. In "Gothic Light" you'll find industrial alternative music mixed with dark rock and trance. Drum'n'bass and techno remixes. A future-pop album? Just get yours and tag it yourself.
Thanks again to all of those who made this new album possible. Adding Marta who did the artwork (boom-mp.blogspot.com) and the replication factory for the quick work.
Production of next songs has started! And just finished a remix for Diverje. The next step is on the way. You can read the interview I answered at the VampireFreaks website here.

"Gothic light" has been mastered by X-Fusion Music Production (www.x-m-p.de). Album artwork is in the works. "Gothic light" (limited edition) will be out in October. You can listen to the album (song snippets) in our Music section! If you want to pre-order a copy (10€ free-shipping), just send an email to detotcorgothiclight@gmail.com. Take into account that this is a limited edition self-release, available until we ran out of copies. Readers of this website will be the first who can pre-order "Gothic light". Digital edition will be released in December. [power on]

Finally the new DE_TOT_COR album "Gothic light" is finished and ready to be sent to mastering and artwork. Today I received the last remix of the tracklist. "Gothic light" will have 12 DE_TOT_COR tracks + 4 remixes. I'm more than happy I can have the four remixers I wanted, cause I love the music they make, and it's a total privilege to have their remixes on this album. First thanks go for them. Not less important are the collaborations of Kari Berg, Fredrik Croona, Jenny P., Sister_ and DJ Zynthexia on the vocals. Thanks, thanks and thanks! This is not an instrumental album at all!
It has not been an easy process. After leaving the Vendetta Music label, I decided to re-think the whole album, since the label didn't like some of the new songs. As an unsigned artist I have the freedom to include everything I want. And I won't write anything more about the music label, because this is not a sad post :-) I hope this is a new beginning for DE_TOT_COR and I'm sure you will all like the new tracks. Furthermore, X-Fusion Music Production will add the necessary elements to burn it all!
"Gothic light" will be released in October 2011 with a very limited edition (the digital release will follow by the end of 2011).

First of all I want to thank all of you who have donated money when downloading the "Mädchenliebe" free single. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! Remember you can still download the free songs (Russians: it was free!, was not necessary to upload it again...).
Anyway, this new post is to announce the new DE_TOT_COR album. It will be called "Gothic light" and it will be released before the end of this year. "Gothic light" is going to be a self-release, with a limited number of physical copies, and also available in digital format. It will include the collaborations of Kari Berg (ex-Ashbury Heights), Fredrik C. (Menschdefekt, Project Rotten), Sister_, DJ Zynthexia and Jenny P. (Luzid) on vocals; and END:theDJ, TrümmerFrau, Revolution State and Studio-X on the remixes. More information (tracklist, mastering, pre-orders...) will be published soon.
Finally I would like to thank everyone who helped on the composition of this new album. Remember you can prelisten some of the tracks in the Music section of this website (and there is one of the new tracks in 'Noize Control 1' compilation - free download).

DE_TOT_COR releases a free digital single "Mädchenliebe" [download]. It includes the original version of "Mädchenliebe" (mastered by x-m-p.de), the Hydrocyanic remix of this track, and a hidden track (a cover of a rock song). As you'll see, you can download for free or give a donation. I decided to include the opportunity of donating money for all of those who still love physical releases. All donations will go for the new DE_TOT_COR album release. It is going to be a self-released album, with a limited number of physical copies; but also available as digital release. More information on this will come soon. Was machen Sie? Download "Mädchenliebe"!

DE_TOT_COR will be releasing "Mädchenliebe" as free digital single next June 30th.
This song has already been released in some compilations and I will probably rework the track for the new album (or it won't be included on it). Apart from "Mädchenliebe" the single will feature the Hydrocyanic remix of that track, and track #3 will be a cover (surprise).
The new album will wait some more time. As I wrote, I want to rework "Mädchenliebe" and finish the last track on it (#10). However, I just uploaded new versions of the songs in the "Music" section. Check them out.

The DE_TOT_COR contract with Vendetta Music label is terminated. I am not going to post here all the reasons. It was my decision to leave the label. I am thankful for the chance to release "Dead Heart EP" with Vendetta and I wish the best success for all the label albums. It's time for DE_TOT_COR to move forward. Thanks to all of you who still remember this music project, and keep checking this website for more news on the new album.
