** Update 7 March:
This release is now also available on most streaming platforms & digital shops!

I took matters into my own hands, and three previously missing releases of mine are now available on all streaming platforms like Spotify, iTunes, Tidal, Deezer and many others.

– Fragments of Freedom (Symp.tom, 2007)
– The Missing Symp.toms (Meta4 Recordings, 2020)
– Stranglehold (The Relic’s First Remix) (Symp.tom, 2007)

Note that this Stranglehold remix is a different remix than the one we released on Symp.tom 5.

This week, it’s 5 years ago that my Lawaai Remix EP was released on Dark Descent!

Lawaai was originally a (heavily distorted) underground track from my 2nd release on Neophyte’s Symp.tom label in 2005, which got a good amount of DJ-support.. even on a few cyber gothic parties!

One of my heroes & friends Embrionyc badly wanted to remix it, and did so on his 2013 album “Not Quite Forgotten”. A few years later, I thought it might be interesting to do an entire remix EP and asked my Symp.tom buddies Mute. and The Relic for additional remixes, as well as one by Demanufacturer. Meanwhile, Embrionyc made a 2nd remix that was heavily experimental, and to put the finishing touch on the project I also made a remix of my own as well as a proper full stereo remaster (my original version had mono distortion due to the limitations of a plugin I used at the time).

Unfortunately, Demanufacturer couldn’t make the deadline in time, so his remix was postponed to be released on my Turmoil EP on the Belgian Traumatic label in 2020.

To celebrate the 5th anniversary of this EP, I’ve put it on my own Bandcamp with a nice discount for the people who don’t have it yet. This complete edition includes two extra bonus tracks; Demanufacturer’s remix and a DJ-friendly (and slightly extended) edit of Embrionyc’s remix that I used in my own DJ-sets. This one can be downloaded for free. Enjoy!

Mental Wreckage – Lawaai Remixes (5th Anniversary Complete Edition)

I’ve set up a Bandcamp page of my own and uploaded two exclusive tracks there, for better access:

The remastered version of my “Industry Decay Remix” (2011) was previously only available on my Facebook page, until support for certain page plug-ins was ceased. And “Fragments of Freedom” (2005) was previously only available on the Symp.tom website. Both tracks are, of course, still available for free.

As for my older Symp.tom releases – hopefully someday I’m able to add them to my Bandcamp as well, whenever I re-obtain the music rights from Cloud 9 Music.

Other than that, I don’t have much other music to share on my Bandcamp for now. My releases on Dark Descent, Noisj, Meta4 and Traumatic are still available on their respective Bandcamp sites.

For now; happy downloading!
