Out from the sauna comes Swedish demented mongo EBM duo Empfänger, the life partnership of towLie and Sling. You might recognise towLie from her W.T. Records invasion on ‘DJ Muscle’, while Sling heads Born Free with ongoing collaborations with Samo. They’ve just released their second EP ‘Lost Tracks’, dragging you out to the woods with wiccan spells, unapologetic hard techno and druggy industrial beat of the highest order. Hopefully not the last Born Free record we see in 2015.
