Alfa Matrix marks 24 years with a 69-track free label sampler, ‘Matrix+ Downloaded 012’
The Belgian electro label Alfa Matrix releases the twelfth volume in its “Matrix+ Downloaded” series to coincide with the label’s 24th anniversary. The digital-only set collects 69 tracks across the label’s current spectrum – EBM, dark elektro/industrial, synth pop – and newer Spleen+ additions spanning post-punk, goth rock and coldwave. The compilation is offered as a free/pay-what-you-want download via the label’s Bandcamp page and also includes a PDF booklet.
On the cover you will recognize Erica Dunham from Unter Null.
To mark the occasion, we bring you a new chapter in our flagship series: “Matrix+ Downloaded 012” – a massive 69-track FREE compilation that reflects the full spectrum of the Alfa Matrix universe, from EBM, synth pop, industrial and dark elektro, to the new post-punk, goth rock and coldwave sound of our freshly launched Spleen+ division.
Expect exclusive songs and mixes from established names like Armageddon Dildos, Acylum, Kant Kino, Implant, Llumen, The Ultimate Dreamers, Digital Factor, The True Union, Neikka RPM, plus exciting collaborations such as First Aid 4 Souls feat. Aux Animaux. We also shine a spotlight on new family members (Cut.Rate.Box, Frontal Boundary) and revisit legendary projects like Cryogenic Echelon and Nigra Nebula.
In a world where indie labels are disappearing, streaming revenues collapse, and risks of signing new talents are higher than ever, we are proud to still stand strong – but we can only do it with you by our side. By downloading this compilation, you are not just enjoying music – you are actively supporting 69 artists and helping keep our scene alive, fresh, and forward-looking.
“Matrix+ Downloaded 012” is available now as a FREE (pay-what-you-want) download on our Bandcamp page. Dive into this eclectic soundtrack, discover new names, reconnect with familiar ones, and most importantly: share the music. Because if there’s one thing every artist deserves, it’s to be heard… and loved.
From all of us at Alfa Matrix and Spleen+, and on behalf of all our artists: thank you for 24 years of loyalty, passion, and support. Together, we’ll keep writing the future of the dark underground.
