A SHOUT OUT TO THE WORLD!

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

If you don't already know it, EYHO Records is building up a network of people around the globe to get involved with local promotional activities and since we started putting this together three weeks ago the response has been amazing. We've already established a great network of interested and enthusiastic individuals who are prepared to devote a little of their time to plugging the EYHO name in clubs, bars, record stores, venues and uni campuses in towns and cities where they live.

So far, we've managed to engage the services of people from Canada to Japan, from Ireland to Poland, Germany to Austria, Portugal to Norway and several stops in between.

But the world is a BIG place and we have some gaps we'd liked filled!

Looking at our James Bond-style map for global domination we can see which countries we haven't got any undercover agents SO if you live in the following countries and maybe missed the original Street Team bulletin first time round, then get in touch with us!

Canada

Czech Republic

Sweden

Spain

Finland

Japan

Estonia

Latvia

Lithuania

If you're based in any of these countries and want to hop on board and lend a hand then please drop an email to street-team@eat-your-heart-out.com and let us know where you are! Also, why not surprise us by contacting us from a country we've never heard of before!

THE GOLDEN FORETASTE OF HEAVEN- Available January 18th

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

New year...new label..new album!

Two years since Futurist and Alec Empire welcomes in 2008 with a new label, a new sound and, more importantly, a new album. Representing, as he says himself, "a side of me that has always been there, but hasn't been heard yet", THE GOLDEN FORETASTE OF HEAVEN retains the forcefulness and political savvy which have become his trademarks but is aimed squarely at the dancefloor, the distorted noise and hardcore riffs making way for funky beats and crisp, clean, danceable electronica.

A new generation of kids are about to discover Empire's voice and politics; but this time on the dancefloor as opposed to the rioting streets. DJs and radio stations across Europe have already been spinning On Fire, Ice, Bug on my Windshield and, the appropriately titled NEW MAN paving the way for Golden Foretaste to become one of Alec Empire's most successful releases to date.

Hitting stores, including our own EYHO online shop, from 18th January 2008 the album will be available on CD (jewel case) and from Cargo Records as a double gatefold vinyl!

The ULTIMATE DVD compilation

Alec Empire met with Virus and Monitor Pop and decided that for 2008 there will be the ULTIMATE ALEC EMPIRE/ATARI TEENAGE RIOT/DHR/EAT YOUR HEART OUT DVD!

Slated for a Spring 2008 release, this will be the definitive DVD history of all things Alec-related and a worthy replacement for those well-worn DHR VHS you all have. Getting this material out on DVD was a longer process than expected as Alec didn't want to release the exact same DHR VHS footage on DVD. So expect many new surprises on this DVD compilation, all re-mastered in wonderful digital quality, supersonic sound and no doubt the sexiest packaging you ever saw!

DON'T FORGET TO JOIN US ON YOUTUBE...

ALEC EMPIRE Record Release Party Berlin

NEW YEAR...NEW LABEL...NEW ALBUM

The Golden Foretaste of Heaven Record Release Party

17th January 2007 - Tresor, Berlin from 23.00

Alec Empire is back on home turf. Five years since the release of Futurist it's all change at the Empire camp. Out goes Digital Hardcore and all the Atari baggage, in comes Eat Your Heart Out and a smart new sound and style. The image may have changed but the aggression and political savvy are still there...they're just presented in a different way. Think AND dance. That's the message here. Already causing a stir from the States to Japan and everywhere in between, Golden Foretaste is probably Alec's most controversial album yet, simply because it doesn't sound like anything he's ever done before. Can you imagine the Alec Empire of Atari Teenage Riot or Intelligence and Sacrifice working with artists such as Goose, Crystal Castles, Patrick Wolf, Raveonettes...? No? Well, they're all lined up for collaborations early this year.

Legendary techno venue Tresor plays host to the launch of Alec's latest LP, the first on his new imprint Eat Your Heart Out. As well as a DJ set from the man himself, EYHO is also pleased to present the New Berlin Dream Team; namely Reznik, Emma Eclectic and Buggy...three of the brightest lights of the Berlin nightlife who'll all be spinning a choon or two.

NEW RELEASES FROM EYHO

On the subject of record release parties, it's obvious that our newest offering from EYHO is Alec's next album, The Golden Foretaste of Heaven. Available throughout Europe from this Friday (18th Jan.) the record is available as CD (jewel case) and double vinyl in gatefold sleeve courtesy of Cargo Records.

The album has already started to cause a stir within the music community...check out the following quotes from Motor, Miss Kittin, Patrick Wolf and The Raveonettes:

Sune Rose Wagner - The Raveonettes

"...The sound is the future. The glorious minimal soundscapes are haunting and beautiful, a daring step into uncharted territory, a bold move away from what is safe. ...It's intimate, it's dark, it pulsates with a powerful force from beyond imagination. It clearly expresses human emotions from deep within an extraordinary creative soul..."

Bryan Black (Motor/Mute Records)

"Holy fucking ass. Uber sleazy, raw, inspired and innovative as hell. I love it. Hats off. Particularly digging original and club remix of 'On Fire', and 'Bug On My Windshield C.O.C. remix. 10/10!"

Miss Kittin

"It sounds phaaat!"

Patrick Wolf

"ALLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEC send me more tracks.. your album is amazing!"

Tadanobu Asano (Japanese actor//leading character in the movie "Ichi - The Killer")

"I really like your album!!! Awesome! Makes you think there's another album like it, but there isn't and on top of it's very simple. I'm curious how the power is put into it. I gain courage by an album that let's me feel this certain sensitivity."

Walter Schreifels (Gorilla Biscuits)

"The show was louder than when I saw My Bloody Valentine!!!"

Photobucket

Still available now in ever decreasing numbers is release number two from the record, the On Fire EP which is seriously nearing the end of its limited edition run. Out since mid-December, the EP packs in 10 juicy tracks and remixes from Golden Foretaste, packaged in a cool silver bag with EYHO flyer and button. Stocks are disappearing fast so get yours now!

One of Germany's best known musicians recently met up with one of Austria's best known actors in what may become one of Arte's best known editions of "Durch die Nacht mit..."!

If you want to find out all about Alec's and Robert's opinions on their work, their lives, music, politics, society and much more then keep your eyes peeled for their edition of the programme. Broadcast date is still TBC but is touted to appear sometime in March. We'll keep you posted!

EYHO NEWSLETTER - February 2008

CHANGES TO EUROPEAN TOUR PLAN

Photobucket

Well, first let's get the bad news out of the way. As you may already have heard from one source or another, the first few dates of 'The Golden Foretaste' European Tour had to be moved to April. Nic Endo contracted a severe ear drum infection and was advised that any exposure to noisy environments would likely permanently damage her inner ear and so we reluctantly decided that dropping the first two weeks of the tour was the most sensible thing to do. We're very sorry to have disappointed so many of you but rest assured, the cancelled shows will be re-scheduled for April and we'll keep you up to date with information as we have it.

The tour continues on the 14th of February as planned:

14.02 Copenhagen - Denmark // Stengade 30 15.02 Malmö - Sweden // Debaser 18.02 Rostock - Germany// Mau Club 19.02 Warsaw - Poland // CDQX 21.02 Vienna - Austria // Flex 22.02 Modena - Italy // Vox 23.02 Florence - Italy // Aud. Flog 26.02 Basel - Switzerland // Kaserne 27.02 Bern - Switzerland // Dachstock @ Reitschule 01.03 Frankfurt - Germany// Tanzwut West (***more info below***) 04.03 Brussels - Belgium // Botanique/Orangerie 05.03 London - UK // Dingwalls 06.03 Exeter - UK // Cavern 07.03 Manchester - UK // Academy 3 08.03 Utrecht - Holland // Rumor Festival (***Alec Empire solo electronic show!***)

Tickets & Infos: www.creative-talent.de | 01805 - 969 000 444 (14cent/min)

ALEC EMPIRE + EMMA ECLECTIC + ASCII DISKO @ TANZWUT WEST, FRANKFURT

A heads up to all the Frankfurt fans - ...mid-way through the Euro tour, Alec and Co. stop off at Tanzwut West for a DJ night. The Berlin invasion starts here as Alec hits the decks alongside one of the EYHO Dream Team, Emma Eclectic. Also spinning a disc or two is the mighty Ascii Disko. If you think French electro-disco is over ...then you'd be right! If you haven't already discovered what the press are calling 'The Sound of New Berlin', then this is your chance to hit the floor and eat to the beat.

So far the response to Alec's new LP has been fantastic with positive reviews coming in from across Europe. Here's a taster of what the journos have had to say about it:

"More thrilling torment from one Empire that will never crumble." NME

"If this is Empire's golden foretaste of heaven, pray you never have to taste hell." Out In The City

"Terrifyingly glamorous." Alternative Mag

"So forward-thinking it suggests an afterlife composed of people not even born yet." Clash

"The album is a cracking blast of testosterone fuelled, straight to the central nervous system, electronic rock, that when in the right frame of mind, will enthral and pump up the adrenalin and emotions of many a listener." Playlouder

For our German readers, check out Alec Empire cover stories on Sonic Seducer and Stadtkind and major features in D-Side (France), The Gap (Austria) and top-rated record of the week in NME (UK)!

RELEASE THE RECORD - THE GOLDEN FORETASTE OF HEAVEN DROPS AT TRESOR

Photobucket

The 17th of January saw the EYHO crew invade legendary Berlin techno venue Tresor to present...something a little different. Out went the grubby 90s techno, in came EYHO and the sound of New Berlin. Our hot favourites Reznik, Emma Eclectic and Buggy span some killer electro tunes while Alec himself took to the decks for a crossover set incorporating fan favourites from his back catalogue with hot new album tracks and personal favourites from 2008. And with a crossover album being presented, no surprises that there was a crossover crowd from DHR's most hardcore fans to Berlin's next generation of Bright Young Things.

And the wonderful Sofia Neves and the Neon Sleep crew were there to document the event. A selection of pics can be found at the EYHO Myspace page. Vice magazine also published a review of the night on their blog (in German) with a picture gallery.
