DE TOT COR

Digital release - Bandcamp - 21/12/2012

If you bought 'Gothic Light' album and you still haven't received an email with the new DE_TOT_COR EP "Fearless", please send an email to detotcorgothiclight [at] gmail.com (there are some addresses missing). We would like to send you for free the digital version of this new EP before the release date. Thanks!

This is just a little update to all the readers of the DE_TOT_COR site. We are working on new songs, there are three new tracks finished, and another one in process. Also two reworks of old songs have been made. The new EP will contain about 3 remixes of these new tracks. Remember you will receive it for free if you bought the last album Gothic Light. Sounds change again, so expect new things! There is not a release date set still, but late summer is more than probably. Any ideas to call this new EP?
The Remix Work page has just been updated. You'll notice I did many remixes in 2012, some are already released (Mari Chrome, Diverje), some others will be hopefully published soon (ES23, Grandchaos, Cynical Existence or Shadow System). No other remix work on the front. Time to finish the new tracks!

There are only 10 CDs left of 'Gothic Light' available to buy directly from me. Remember there are some webstores where you can find the album: DSBP Records (USA) should have it back in stock soon, POPoNAUT (Europe), and added Disconexus (WORLDWIDE shipping). Be sure to send an email (detotcorgothiclight[at]gmail.com) if you bought the album on these webstores, cause you will receive for free a new De_Tot_Cor EP sometime this year. Lastly if you prefer digital albums, just get 'Gothic Light' at Bandcamp.

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.

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).
