While You Were Otherwise Engaged
Described by the press as “buoyant,” “sleek,” and “textured,” Null Device pulls in a lot of different influences. There’s of course 80’s synthpop, but also a love for reverb-soaked shoegaze, jangly dreampop, Madchester-era dance-rock, and even the occasional dose of ebullient Bollywood. Their music is cohesive enough that the listener can move from one song to the next without getting cognitive whiplash, yet diverse enough to appeal to anyone from millennial chillwavers to gen-X rave kids to old-school goths.
Let The Wolves Inside
Ghostfeeder's Derek Walbron has just released a official video for let the wolves inside from the upcoming World Fameless.
Preorder the new album here and get an immediate download of this song: https://ghostfeeder.bandcamp.com/album/world-fameless-2016 World Fameless, the new album available from Distortion Productions July 8th, 2016. Check out Ghostfeeder on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ghostfeeder And Instagram: www.instagram.com/ghostfeeder Music and video by Derek Walborn ©2016

Red Lokust Kickstarter
In 2015, Lee Lauer of Aslan Faction approached Jim Semonik at a KMFDM show. Jim's band, Rein[Forced], was opening the gig. Lee and Jim only met one time previously back in 2010. They became fast friends and share a mutual love of industrial music. Lee approached Jim about working on a project and thus Red Lokust was born. The boys have been working for the past several months on the debut album "The Repercussions of Shedding Your Skin".
Their first track will appear on the high profile Electronic Saviors 4 compilation this June. The album will also include bonus remixes by Leaether Strip and Frontal Boundary. The debut album will be released on Jim's Distortion Productions label and will include stunning artwork by Byron Winton. The band will be playing the first ever Red Lokust shows this Summer. This Kickstarter will help in the funding of merch and touring. Jason Wolf (ES3 and 4 merch) will be designing the shirts and hoodies.
Thanks for your help and support of this project.
ES4 Teaser trailer

Distortion Productions welcomes Ghostfeeder!!!
Distortions productions is incredibly excited to announce that Ghostfeeder has joined the family here! Ghostfeeder, the electronic brainchild of Derek Walborn, is the audible result of dragging a lifetime of video games and science fiction films across the sticky floor of a rock music hall and then cleaning it up just enough to sneak past the bouncer at that dance club you've always wanted to get into.
