Haxyn Records Compila�on Vol 1 Mind // Body Dualism : Part I Body Mind // Body Dualism : Part 2 Mind Review by Steve Thomas-Green Haxyn Records are not really a record label, they are more of a collec�ve. Various ar�sts working together to promote their music… no surprise that there’s a Russian influence pushing this forward then…. So, star�ng with Part 1… we have a few of the usual suspects, including Zwaremachine, Pro Patria and WÜLF7… but as with other compila�on reviews in this issue, I’m going to seek out a few bands that are new to me and ones that I don’t play/men�on so o�en. I’m actually going to begin with the first 3 bands: Euforic Existence, Kalt and Strong Product… There’s obviously been some thought to the running order as these bands share an old school EBM aesthe�c and they all flow together very well… and they’re then followed by the older sounds of Zwaremachine and Pro Patria… (and older sounds was almost old �mers as both have band members around my age…. old) Moving away from the old school sounds there are a couple of more unusual tracks. Personnel or ПЕРСОНАЛ, to give them their Russian name, sound like their music was created in a luna�c asylum. Although they claim it’s, “electro-industrial and horror-noise”. Whatever it it’s called, it’s bloody good and very different from the norm. I’ll also throw in a men�on to Hypermond as their track, Paranoia, sounds like some kind of cute Korean cartoon music fused with, well… some crazy-assed music. Quirky is a word I probably use too much, but if the cap fits…. I just hope I don’t wake up at 3amwith this stuck in my head… So yeah, this part of the compila�on is absolutely amazing and with a few exclusive tracks included as well, this is pre�y much essen�al listening
