The newborn Milan-based Italian label Beat.Machine makes its first appearance in the overcrowded music scene with a musical brotherhood with the provoking alternative punk rock Italian band The NUV, acronym for New Ultraviolet Vanish, an expression which can summarize their ruffled plunging down a sonic slope influenced by recent evolutions of punkey bands, rewording New Ultra Violence (their previous baptismal name as well), a term used by their main conceptual source of inspiration, Anthony Burgess, author of the notorious "A Clockwork Orange" to describe brutal violent acts committed just for entertainment. Their release on Block Starz Music could strike some ears for the way they contaminate punk rock with glamour sonic hooks, lending itself to further treatment and it's what Beat.Machine made, a way to introduce some slices of its roster. To be honest, most of them look like they stick to some standards, in particular remixes by I Am Orkid and Boylerz sound quite influenced by some electro-industrial bands (Nine Inch Nails, Skinny Puppy, FLA) as well as the so-called nu disco proposed by Brioski in the attempt of refurbishing the track "Ultraviolence" sounds not so "nu". On the other side other remixers are far more interesting in flirtation/filtration of some NUV's songs such as M.E.S.P. who proposes a bizarre intertwining of dubstep and electro-rock shreds (both "Jennifer" and "Nobel" remixes are really nice), AC Prodz' versatility in reinterpreting "Lucha Libre" and "The Virgin" in a plain electronic way and The Honor's toytronic remix of "Nobel". Maybe it's better to wait some individual releases in order to have a clearer idea on the real stylistical range and quality of musical proposals by this new label, but this debut sounds tasty enough to sketch a rough idea on them.
