With so much music being offered nowadays, it seems that I have become somewhat saturated. Not that there’s no quality music anymore, just that with the coming of Internet there’s a little of overkill. And what’s better than turn of your PC and discover some new live  acts? That is exactly what I did. I visited two of the organised Glaxclock nights in Kultuurhuis Bosch. Enjoying the music if this collective thoroughly I decided to dedicate, a well deserved, article on the Glaxclock collective so that some of our Gothtronic visitors also get a better chance to get acquainted with some really cool music.

Glaxclock is a collective of artists, musicians and dj’s based in Nijmegen, Holland consisting of DJ@MF, Bob Knutton, Causalidox, DJ Erik Grey, Grimm Limbo, Hadewych, NME33, Protocol Novikov, Ultrazeitgeist (Volksweerbaarheid wave-orientated side-project), d i s t e l, Mr. Botak and Xtort (consisting of former members from Hoer). Sharing a passion for unorthodox, atmospheric music they decided to combine forces. The result is a well dosed mixture of ambient, EBM, Wave, Industrial and everything in between. While acts such as Bob Knutton, Grimm Limbo, Causalidox, Mr. Botak and NME.33 float between danceable electro and relaxed ambient, Protocol Novikov and d i s t e l have a more industrial/ambient approach. I can spend hours explaining which music could or should have some references with Glaxclock but every act manages to have an own face and is very atmospheric and moody. If you want to have a more detailed impression on what Glaxclock has to offer please visit their website; www.glaxclock.nl or myspace site: www.myspace.com/glaxclock.

Because there are no official releases of the Glaxclock label or individual members of this collective, I suggest to visit one of the Glaxclock nights (including really cool visuals) if you have the chance, together with the above mentioned website. You won’t be disappointed! And for me; it’s worth waiting until I can play these tunes in my official cd or record player. Because Glaxclock celebrates its 2 year anniversary in July stay tuned for an in-depth interview with one of the protagonists!
