I usually don't post 2 consecutive mixes of the same style, but with all the fantastic new releases that The Third Movement, PRSPCT, Genosha and other labels did since I uploaded my last mix, I couldn't help myself to commit to another industrial hardcore mix!

... and here are some shoutouts to suck up to some of the producers of these masterful tracks, because I think they deserve some praise.
SOVA: The first time I heard 'It's Time', I was sold. Probably the prime reason why I couldn't wait to start another industrial mix in which I could play this track. Massive, massive kicks, eerie soundscapes and a solid arrangement. This party girl (you should see her DJ, so cool!) from Beirut is someone you should keep an eye on, because I think she's going to kill it in the industrial community.
The Silence: This project from Ophidian and Eye-D (of The Outside Agency) is a match made in industrial heaven. When The Silence album came out, I was blown away. Awefully rough kicks that make your nose bleed, alternating with DnB percussions for that extra chaotic vibe, often combined with these beautiful melancholic tortured melodies... give me more please!
Starving Insect: I love his usual PCP-ish sounds, as I already played some of his tracks in previous mixes. But this remix of RABBeAT's Bankai is so different, and so good! the combination of the increasingly serious strings in the background, over the "live" recorded 909 kickrolls almost makes you float. He showed how he produced this remix on Instagram, and all I can say is: mad respect for this production.
Hades and Fantasm: I actually don't know how sensitive this subject is, but knowing how fans of various subgenres of electronic music could clash when I was young, I can imagine that some of you Industrial Hardcore lovers do not approve the recent Industrial Hard Techno rage that's been going on. But if you close your eyes and not look at the tracklist for a bit, could you honestly single out the hard techno tracks from these guys in this mix? I think they blend in perfectly with the sound and the vibe of the other "typical industrial hardcore" tracks. I love it!
Sei2ure: Man... I wish this guy would release more music again. It's too long ago already when I last heard something new from him, but I always keep scrolling through his discography first when I'm looking for the next track to play in my mixes. For this mix I was finally able to include Sacred Music and Bad Temper.
Nanostorm: When The Ecstacy Of Spring was released, I immediately knew I would end my next industrial mix with this track. I'm not a "the faster the better" terrorhead type, and I usually don't have many 200+ BPM in my favorites playlist, but this track went all the way to the top of my most-played tracks on spotify. I love the arrangement and the variety of the entire tracks. It is more then 8 minutes long, and yet it never bores. I catch myself "humming" the distorted bleeps and melodies all day long if I listened to it in my car again. Really awesome track!
