When titling his new album "Seven Sorrows, Seven Stars", multi-talented Belgian artist Yves Schelpe cast some kind of magic on PSY'AVIAH's impressive music repertoire, opening a new mysterious gate full of wonder and euphoria… On this (magic number!) 7th full length release, PSY'AVIAH creates some distance from its darker roots taking us towards more joyful and positively driven atmospheres while keeping his unique emotional and almost ghostly creative touch intact. The lyrics deal more this time with magic, wonders and mysteries, and beautifully match with the band's characteristic sound-mix of futuristic electro, moody trip hop, floating ambient, and other groovy eurodance.
"Seven Sorrows, Seven Stars" is an album that speaks to both body and mind. You can dance to it all night or enjoy it in full simplicity with candles on for some positive moments with friends... PSY'AVIAH delivers a true chef d'oeuvre full of emotional contrasts and dynamic vibes, capturing irrational moments of life across the universe.
Seven Sorrows, Seven Stars is to be released by Alfa Matrix on April 15, 2016.
Miss FD vocals and lyrics are featured on the track "Wild Ride", with special remixes of this track featured on the 2CD deluxe edition.

With “The Xenogamous Endeavour”, Antwerp based artist Yves Schelpe decided to make a return to the core of his PSY’AVIAH project, employing total artistic freedom and studio experimentation, reaching the best “cross-pollination” from the numerous refreshing collaborations featured on the album and its unique blend of influential music genres of synthpop, rough electro, trip-hop, ambient, etc.
Yves Schelpe operates as the core-producer/composer with various other talented guest artists joining in to lend their voice or other writing/mixing skills and confirming that PSY’AVIAH stands for open-minded electronic music with energy & soul…
“The Xenogamous Endeavour” offers the perfect balance between highly melodic modern dance pop tunes (“Never Enough”, “Before I Die”, “Long Way”), catchy intimate songs (“Our Common End”, “Broken Failed”, “The Parts You Can’t See”) and more complex and darker tracks (the straight and upbeat “Deliverance” or yet the provocative trip-hop “Get Your Tickets”).
The Xenogamous Endeavour is to be released by Alfa Matrix on October 17, 2014.
Miss FD vocals and lyrics are featured on the track “Deliverance”.

It's only August, but I'm already hard at work conjuring this year's Halloween themed single, Down in the Dungeon.
The cover artwork for the single has been illustrated by Chandra Free, author and illustrator of The God Machine [comic book], who has once again done a fantastic job with the cover artwork this year.
"Down in the Dungeon" will be released on September 17th, 2012, with a music video following shortly after.
South Florida: I'll be playing a short set next Friday, June 29th at The Green Room in Ft. Lauderdale. This is going to be a very different set from any of the shows I've played in the past, with special guest Robert Dante (who played the guitars on the Infatuated single) joining me on stage. We go on at 7:30pm, so make sure to get there early if you'd like to catch our set.

What is it with audiowarez companies being so stingy with the number of knobs and sliders they include on hardware these days? I'd like a good vocal FX processor for live shows with enough physical knobs to give me easy access to control parameters, without having to click on endless combinations of the same 3 buttons and 2 knobs, and having to go through complicated screens in order to modify each effect within a preset.
And sure, I'm aware that most vocal processors allow you to save presets that you can switch to in between songs, but that pretty much kills any chance of a more dynamic interaction with the effects during live performances.
Having survived stage 2B colorectal cancer in 2008, longtime promoter and DJ Jim Semonik created the Electronic Saviors compilations to fight back the disease with the help of the goth-industrial scene.
With the first volume of the compilations, Electronic Saviors: Industrial Music To Cure Cancer, the project raised over $20K for charity.
The second volume of Electronic Saviors will be a giant 6 disc box-set including 105 Electro-Industrial artists with a total of 141 tracks.
Electronic Saviors 2: Recurrence is to be released by Metropolis Records on May 8th, 2012.
All proceeds from Vol. 2 will go to Gilda's Club/Cancer Support Community (www.gildasclub.org) and The Bone Marrow Foundation (www.bonemarrow.org).
Empusa's and Miss FD's collaboration song "You" will be included in Electronic Saviors Vol. 2.

To start off 2012, I will be releasing a new single at the end of January.
Both musically and lyrically, this song is something a bit different. Consider it... an alter ego.
The upcoming digital release features Robert Dante on guitars, who did a brilliant job on this track. How he had the patience to sit there playing every guitar part to match my meeeeowing of how I wanted every guitar slide to be is beyond me, but I'm certainly grateful for it.
Josh Smith, who also did the background visuals for my 2010 October release of the Love Magick music video, has once again done a fantastic job for the cover artwork for this release, including a rather alter ego photo taken by the amazing Dangerously Dolly.
I'm very much looking forward to releasing the new single for "Infatuated" at the end of January! ;)
It's moments like these in which all of the seemingly broken pieces fit together to form something beautiful, that make me feel purposefully alive and for a moment, connected. #3 of the next chapter has become. And if I don't get to go to the studio soon to record vocals for it, it's possible this song might haunt me until it drives me insane.
Music is something that's meant to enrich our lives. It expands our happiness, brings us comfort, inspires us, evokes deeply buried emotions, helps us to appreciate different aspects of our existences during different phases of our lives, and inexplicably reaches us to our very core.
Paying for music nowadays is really a matter of principle. We all know that as soon as an artist releases a new song or album, it becomes available as a free download almost immediately.
Do I condemn free downloads? Absolutely not. If a person already has enough circumstantial life worries to deal with and cannot afford to pay for new music, the music which may bring them comfort when they need it the most, should still be accessible to them.
This being said, as someone who is putting a lot of effort to release new music on my own, I am certainly very grateful to those of you who do choose to support my efforts by contributing through purchasing the physical CDs I've had made (for you!) or by paying for downloads.
I believe in paying the individuals that I work with: photographers, graphic designers, video directors, etc. Amazing photographers, designers, video directors, and other artists shouldn't have to work day jobs that they hate, are terrible at, and which are unrelated to their true talents, just to be able to pay the bills. They should be paid to do what they are best at and enjoy the most, as this allows for the growth of their expressions through their creations. In the end, this allows them to produce better pieces for the rest of us to enjoy as well.
Those of you who pay for my music help me to pay the artists whom I collaborate with, from photographers, to designers whom I ask to design my album artwork, or directors whom I shoot videos with. Your contribution in paying for the music I release helps me to pay for studio time so that I can provide you with better quality recordings, mastering, etc.
Therefore, I just want to say thank you to all of you who are aware of this, and pay for music as a matter of principle, and not out of obligation. It is certainly appreciated.
October is once again right around the corner and as tradition would have it, I've made another kitschy song as this year's seasonal treat.
Further details will be posted soon, but I'm quite excited to announce that the cover artwork for the upcoming digital release has been designed by the lovely Chandra Free, author and artist of The God Machine [comic book].
On Thursday, August 4, 2011 at 8:00pm, Miss FD will premiere the official music video for the song "Negaverse" from the album Love Never Dies at www.MissFD.com
Artistic expression is artistic expression. If you start making music thinking of where it will or it will not fit as far as genre goes, thinking that you will lose fans or industry connections if you release something different than what they are already expecting because you're part of a specific "scene", then you're already limiting the possibilities of real artistic expression. Make what you want to make and however you want to make it, release it, and let people decide on their own if they like it or not.
Northborn remix of "Fires on the Shore", live at Triton Festival with END: the DJ, Clint Carney of System Syn, and Miss FD.
The "Fires On The Shore" EP was produced and arranged by END: the DJ featuring the title track with vocals by Assemblage 23, UBERBYTE, System Syn, and Miss FD, with music by Souless Affection.
Alternative versions will be on the EP by Northborne, Shiv-r, Angels On Acid, Nolongerhuman and Erektor.
"Fires on the Shore" will be released through Nilaihah Records later this year as a benefit EP, with proceeds from the release going towards donations to help the Waterkeeper Alliance's Gulf Shore volunteers in their efforts to help save the Gulf, from helping to purchase protective gear and clean-up supplies, to emergency office space and food for disaster-response volunteers. More information about them and further donations can be made at http://www.saveourgulf.org
Triton weekend in NY was awesome. Met many wonderful people and had an amazing time overall. It's really great that the organizers/promoters of this event put in all the effort for us to have a festival like this in the US.
From the upcoming Fires on the Shore benefit EP, we did a unique live performance at Triton with Northborne, END: The DJ, and Clint of System Syn:
I got to host a few interviews for Noisescape TV with Nikki Telladictorian of Prometheus Burning:
And had the best traveling partner ever, who was responsible for breaking a lot of random things on stage during Terrorfakt NYC's set:
Had an absolutely fantastic time this past weekend playing @Blacklist Bham with END: the DJ & DJ MAELSTROM, and Static23 joining me on keys.
The crowd was incredibly supportive, which always makes the shows a lot more fun & our hosts/promoters for the show were absolutely awesome (I've been craving a breakfast smoothie all week!).
A few photos from the night, courtesy of Secret Playground.
Seven years in the making, "The Creation Chamber" is Anguisette's debut release, an ethereal collection of songs by electric violinist Jyri Glynn, featuring the vocal talents of such noteworthy underground artists as Severina Sol (Fockewolfe/ Cylab), Emileigh Rohn (Chiasm), Jaymie Valentine (Cindergarden), Dawn Wood (Elektronika), Melody Bleak (Bleak Track/Blackpool), and Miss FD.
Miss FD vocals are featured in the song RESET, with lyrics written by Andrew Zebrowitz.
My studio sessions are turning out to be incredibly therapeutic. The new material is turning out to be a real step up from anything else I've done before. However, at this moment in time, I would like to request the following-
Dear Universe,
Although I am grateful for having this incredibly powerful form of release for myself when circumstances are dire, I would like for the progress and evolution of my musical expressions not to be dependent on absolutely monstrous events taking place in my life anymore. I would like to be able to keep on reaching higher levels of accomplishment through my art without needing to keep on going through horrible experiences in order to reach these.
I promise to keep on finding inspiration to create my pieces, but from now on I would like to be inspired by a turn of events in my life towards a happier and more peaceful state of being.
This isn't just an album review, it's an in-depth article / interview which includes quite a lot of insight into Monsters in the Industry. And it totally made my day!
Yes, yes. It's certainly a lot easier to just download music. Saves space, makes the music easily accessible from your various devices, and best of all, no scratched up CDs.
If that's how you rather have your music, Monsters in the Industry is available through:
I know that some of you still appreciate being able to look through the artwork, being able to read all of the lyrics, and being able to grasp in more depth the concepts behind the album. If at this point you're totally raising your hand and yelling "That's me!", then I would definitely encourage you to get the physical copy of Monsters in the Industry. It's a pretty neat digipack, so you won't end up with broken jewel cases, the lyrics are printed right on the panels of the digipack, and the artwork for this album has a lot a meaning poured into it.
And hey, maybe some day, you'll be able to tell your grand-kids: "Back in MY day, we used to have these things called CDs..." At which point of course, you'll pull out your handy dandy copy of Monsters in the Industry for demonstration purposes =p
It seems like this year keeps getting darker and darker, without its brightest stars shining to light the way.
Another grave loss this year, friend and mastermind of Force.Is.Machine and Aetrix Stefan (Voytek den Ouden) passed away last week after being hit by a car.
His music was absolutely brilliant. His songs have been a source of motivation for me and have helped me during many dark times.
May his music and memory remain with us and serve as a source of inspiration to many:
