about

Beautiful Machines have teamed up with The New Division (the alias of Los Angeles based electronic Musician/Producer John Glenn Kunkel) for the remix of their recent neon noir single “Control,” out today via Republic Of Music. Already a big fan of Beautiful Machines, Kunkel says that he was extremely excited when they approached him to deliver a remix. “The first time I heard ‘Control,’ I already knew where I'd be taking it,” he says. “I began working on the record while I was on the East Coast, finished it on the West Coast, and I think that contrast ended up translating itself onto the final product. The East Coast side of the remix has this cold, abrasiveness to it, while the West Coast side delivers warmth and solar energy that is threaded throughout the song.”

As the original version of “Control” is darker, featuring the production sensibilities of the band and Ade Fenton (best known for his work with Gary Numan), Conrad Schuman and Stefanie Ku of Beautiful Machines say The New Division’s remix “brought it out of the shadows of darkwave with industrial overtones into something you want to celebrate at a club on a roof in Hong Kong while fireworks dazzle the sky. What John did with it was brilliant, taking it from a triplet or 3/4 or 6/8 feel to a more EDM and Synthwave 4/4 dance feel.”

lyrics

In the pouring light
When the story comes
You hold me close and keep me
Mmmm let’s have some fun
And feel alive

Now the feeling hides
You know the reason why
They bring you to life
Now the color runs
And with the feeling comes
Begin to ignite

You take the train at night
And the fire rose
It’s in the feeling
Something I don’t know

Another story comes

A world awaits for me
Beyond the door our destiny
A centrifuge of soul
We lost Control

Another sleepless night
Our border crossed our appetite
A lonely symphony
Underneath it all
We lost Control

Feel alive
Feel alive
Feel alive
Feel alive

about

Beautiful Machines London, UK

Amid the endless black of a darkened room, one light then another flicker. A screen comes into focus, the slight shimmer of glass torn apart by a single message: SYSTEM REBOOT.

Emerging from stasis, Beautiful Machines are about to start their chapter. A continually updating project that spans music, visuals, and performance, an act of synthesis that blends technology art, digital and the humane.
