afmusic is celebrating its 10-Year Anniversary with the CD compilation “Join the Dark Side, We Have the Music!”. The 14-track album, to be released on November 2, includes songs from the label’s main artists Principe Valiente, Golden Apes, The Search, (((S))) and The Silence Industry, as well as unheard and rare material from bands the label has worked with in the past years.
In 2011 we started distributing The Knutz from Brazil with their debut album “Ghost Dance Party”, of which we only have a few CDs left in stock. Since then, the band has recorded and released 2 more albums in their home country and now you are able to get your hand on these items at our label’s store and in many other stores across Europe as well.
On Friday 2nd of November 2018, the release of the album “Image” of the Belgian Post-Punk act Whispering Sons will be celebrated at the BI NUU club in Berlin with a live concert supported by Golden Apes, Principe Valiente from Sweden and Trouble Fait from France.
It’s been 10 years since we started the label; a lot has changed, and a lot hasn’t. Who would have thought that a small net label would have lasted this long? Formed in 2008 as a digital label, we have successfully established the strategy to offer a large part of the repertoire as a net label under a free license. Now, we can look back at more than 150 releases which can still be found at archive.org. Next to those, there have been more than 100 CD or Vinyl releases in the Dark Wave-, Gothic-, Post Punk- and Independent-Genre.
On 25th of May 2018 we will reissue Principe Valiente’s debut album that has defined the band’s own interpretation of Post Punk and Shoegaze to this day.
15 years after the first album, Razmig Tekeyan – the founder and now sole member of THE SEARCH – decided to record and release the retro-inspired album “A Wave from the Sidelines”; a love letter to the sound of the 80’s meant for people to listen to during a late night drive.
The new THE SEARCH album “A Wave from the Sidelines” will be released (CD and Download) on April 27th, but you are able to get your hands on it now!
Friends and followers of dark, atmospheric guitar music should mark the 24 of March 2018 prominently, because on that day Golden Apes will invite once more into the holy halls of the Berlin-based Bi Nuu Club, to celebrate the ninth issue of the Dark Spring Festival. In keeping with the spirit of the festival, the hosts have gone to great lengths and spared no expense to present a Lineup that, far away from commercial uniformity or staged Déjà-Vus, will place the hearts of lovers of Goth, Post Punk, Wave and Shoegaze onto blissfully wafting dry ice that night.
Principe Valiente’s “Running Juveniles” music video is here: a pure celebration of youth and life.
One year after the release of “Songs about Losers”, the Swedish band The Search is back with ten new songs collected on the album “Echo”. This time the creative mind of the band Razmig Tekeyan brings the minimalistic sound to its top.
