Parade Ground is a duo, consisting of Belgian brothers Pierre and Jean-Marc Pauly. In 1983 they released their debut EP Moans on the Sly on the New Dance Label. This began their on-going affiliation with producer Daniel B., a member of the seminal FRONT 242. The following year they released Man in a Trance on Front 242’s label Mask, freed from the cold influence of the post-punk wave. Continuing with more EPs their first true sign of recognition came when the A-Side from their Strange World 12” was included on the definitive compilation album This is Electronic Body Music in 1987, giving way to their first full length album, entitled Cut Up (1988). Front 242 brought the brothers in to collaborate on the songwriting for their 1993 album Up Evil. “Rosary”, the second album of Parade Ground feature 15 brand new tracks, each preceded by a musical overture. While their previous record was produced by Daniel B. (Front 242) and Colin Newman (Wire) it is now Patrick Codenys (Front 242) who was in charge.
NIHILTRONIX (ex-ICK - La Nouvelle Alliance, Hau Ruck!, Invasion Planete, Enfant Terrible - FR)
http://www.myspace.com/nihiltronixlanouvellealliance
Nihiltronix aka ICK is the cofounder and the actual runner of the label La Nouvelle Alliance who has produced the first works of Dernière Volonté and ICK and later PPF, Perverse Teens, etc. He’s also behind the projects KROM Y on Invasion Planete label and NEVROZ on Slaughter Production.
La nouvelle alliance :
its roots can be tracked back to the time when two musicians wishing an absolute and totally free environment launched it, thus splitting apart from any form of limitation or censorship (like Industrial Records). This quest for an almost full autonomy made of the releases, promotion and distribution of supposedly harsh musical forms a goal and a constant feature. The label is not limited to the release of disks but is also possibly open to radio broadcastings etc. In the year 2004 one of the two members chose to stop his involvement within the structure. He was successfully replaced by another long well-known musician from the French industrial scene. This collaboration also ceased at the end of 2007. In 2006 the idea to create La Nouvelle audience became true. This side-label is concerned with the release and the spread of some less harsh projects more open to audiences. To this end the members (at last) decided to release their works on digital formats. Considered as a reference label in France, it produced only 11 releases, either audiotapes, 7”inches, LP or 12”inches, presented with different colours and systematically limited to small numbers.
1997EV + Tzii (Punch Records, Night On Earth - IT/BE)

Last album, “Dead.Ends.Sinful”, was released on Punch Records (Ait!, Novy Svet, Wermut, O Paradis, Thomas Nola…etc). Earliest time steps could be seen around the end of anno 1995 and beginning anno 1996, the early sound results being in part experimentation in the sense of having poor-like equipment did show up in a sort of ritualist post-industrial psychedelics with the aim of making the standard sterotypes of commonly known psychedelics fall into collapse… was in a certain basis the so called new research of what came out to be that which 1997EV itself defined the “Era Beyond Psychedelia”. The projects related seemed the perfect ologram passe-par-tout to the making of a more esoteric and futurist sound-drone, dense with apocalyptic in-fusions ... an almost colliding eso-vortex of cosmical futurist primitivism. Some certain unique meant steps to the fascination of eyes, did really happen in E.RI.DU… the ancient chronology of earth ... so the story goes. They will be joined exclusively for this show by Tzii, an unstoppable magickal sounds worldwide sprayer.
NOCTURNE (Old Europa Cafe, Tesco, Steinklang - FR)
http://www.myspace.com/nocturnespace
Nocturne is a musical representation of ART SHOCK. Uncompromising bubbling industrial and abrasive power-electro sounds, obscure war noise outfit, deep rumbling from hell. Pain and reality.
DOLINA
(Enfant Terrible - FR/BE)
http://www.myspace.com/dolinablanche
Foggy melodies, cold electro beats, intimist lyrics. This electronic band will take you for a surrelistic ballad through the dark streets of big cities, through forests, clouds and finally to the stars!
EXTERN YKON (Radon - BE)
EXtern YKon is a side project of RIPIT, more focused on environmental and acoustic sound takes manipulations, concrete scratching, miked surfaces… This project has opened for Z’EV (Staalplaat, Ralph records) and KK NULL (Steinklang, Beta-Lactam Ring), and performed live since early 2006 in USA (North Carolina, Massachussets), Belgium and France. No records out yet, but a track featuring Eric Wood (ManIsTheBastardNoise) is up to come on a V/A CD.
