Maschine Brennt

About

Behind Maschine Brennt you will find Joacim Thenander, a guy with a long experience in making computer-based music. In the late ‘80s he was a member of industrial synth band Systema The Affliction, and later he was the driving force behind the thrash synth/hip hop crossover duo Cultivated Bimbo. In the ‘90s he released more mainstream dance music and remixes, mainly house and techno stuff, but also a few drum n bass tracks. 

Maschine Brennt was born 1991 as a project on the side of Cultivated Bimbo. The following year, Maschine Brennt made only three public performances, and together with Joacim were a few more members on stage to add some extra spice to the almost theatrical performances.
Maschine Brennt made just a handful more tracks during the ‘90s, and after the turn of the millennium Joacim concentrated more on his other projects focusing on techno/house again.
In 2014, Maschine Brennt came back with releases on the Swedish label Plonk. Later he joined forces with Kretz and started releasing tracks on Encrypted Records.

The first album was released in 2017 both digitally (Plonk) and as a CD (Razgrom Music). Joacim has also done a number of remixes since 2014, including for artists such as My Love Kills, KRAFTman, Monopolx, Carlos Sicrock, Monel, Vogon Poetry, Niels Gordon, The System, Metroland, Dark Vektor, Kevin Lux, Deutsche Bank, Prototype 74, Pi-XL, Neon, Sector One, Jonteknik, Unisonlab, Datapop and Kretz.
Maschine Brennt has figured on releases from labels Plonk, Encrypted Records, Razgrom Music, Bass Agenda, Ukonx Recordings, Battery Park Studio, Electro Avenue, Electro Shock Records, Anti Gravity Device, Elektrodos, New North Records and more.
A second album (CD + Digital) will be released during the summer 2021 (Plonk/Razgrom Music).

The influences are early 80’s electro, and of course that special german Düsseldorf sound. Music for man and machine.
