Sensuous Enemy Loki and Thor

Cyber Perversion Loki and Thor

Thank you to all of our darklings who made it to the 3rd annual Cyber Perversion show at Club Inferno in Madison, Wisconsin! We had a lot of fun  with our Avengers costumes and we really enjoyed playing with our co-villains Cynergy 67 (Upper WI), V is for Villains (Chicago, IL), and AS/OF (Minneapolis,MN), along with DJ EfN (Green Bay, WI), and our very own DJ Psych0tron (Madison, WI).  Thanks to Apollo of  the Inferno for  a great venue space and to Rooster for running sound for all of us.

We were able to showcase two of our new songs “Freedom from Religion” and “Sirens of the Sea”, we just completed this past September. Both songs went over really well and we received a few kudos for them.  “Freedom from Religion” is a word speak with a melodic chorus. Since we have never done a song like this  before, the style of writing and performance really shocked some some people. “Sirens of the Sea” is definitely going to be a dance floor favorite as many started bouncing as soon as it began. All in all, it was a really fun fest and we look forward to doing it again next year!

Over the next few months, we’ll be working hard to write and record music for our next CD “Voyager”. We’re excited to get something new into your hands by Summer of 2013!

Sensuous Enemy 2012 Promo ShootSince you last heard from us in August, we’ve been working on a few new songs this fall that we’re excited to showcase for you on October 20th. We’ll be performing at Club Inferno in Madison, Wisconsin for the 3rd Annual Cyber Perversion. The first song we previously performed at our last show titled Red Ropes, was inspired by a beautiful woman who thoroughly enjoys sensory rope play. The second song is Freedom from Religion, which we think will be a new favorite. We’ll be performing this one in a different style that imitates or mimics speak-say or rap using a female computer voice setting. Finally the third song is Sirens of the Sea we’re attempting to finalize this week.

Aside from working full time, I’m also attending Madison College trying to finish up my A.S. in Marketing. In one of my classes this semester I’m working as an Intern for the Literacy Network of Dane County, Madison. This will really help me gain experience working for a business doing Marketing with an emphasis on Social Media. Needless to say, it’s been a rough month, but we’re still able to squeeze in a couple of rehearsals each week to make sure we’re staying on top of things and to prepare for our next show on in October.

Right now we have about half the songs we need for our next CD “Voyager”, and although we wanted to get it done by the end of the year, it looks like it’s going to be more like Spring of 2013 if all goes well. So keep listening and tuning in each week as we talk about the process of creating these songs and what inspires us.

Death of a Great Industrial Music Label

It is with much sadness today that we announce our label Radio-Active-Music will no longer be in business. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Laura Hofford Wilder, the owner, over the past two years and wish her the very best in her endeavors as she continues on with her new life in Colorado

We are thankful that we had the opportunity to have met and worked with so many wonderful and talented musicians, like The Dark Clan and XuberX, whom we’ve gotten to know much better due to being on the same label. It’s been a good run and we hope to find another label with as much vim and vigor as Radio-Active-Music!

So, until we find a new label home, you can still find us here at sensuousenemy.com and on CD Baby. We look forward to whatever the future has in store for us and we hope you’ll remember all the by-gone labels that brought you so many great artists and songs!

Hot and Happy Humpday!

So by now, I’m sure most of you dear readers have heard the musical endeavors of Sensuous Enemy. If you haven’t, then you are simply missing out and should skip reading the rest of this post and instead spend your time checking out our music that’s available on a large number of digital sources all over the internet. If you’re looking for supplemental material available live in the mid-west 3+ weekends of every month, however, then read on.

Team-Keyboards: Katja and B0B

The folks that caught our last live show back in November already got a chance to meet the two newest live members of Sensuous Enemy: Team-Keyboards, aka B0B and Katja.

Both of us are very much looking forward to getting back on stage and rocking out for the Electronic Saviors 2 release parties in Madison and Chicago next month, but while we’re not rehearsing new material and making extreme-derp faces when people bust out cameras during practice both of us have had regular DJ endeavors in the region for over a decade now focused on all things dark and electronic that we’d like to highlight in this post.

DJ :EYG:

Katja, aka DJ :EYG:, has been dropping beats since the late ’90s. After many years of regular spots in the Milwaukee and Madison areas and countless guest spots all over the country, she currently calls Chicago home with a DJing residency at Pandemic: Chicago’s premiere industrial/EBM promotions and DJ crew. Performing alongside DJs Qbot, JenaMax, Pathogen, and Kriegschrei, they can be found in Chicago every first Friday at Exit for the Pandemic Industrial Dance Night, as well as different themed “Pandemic Presents” events every second Friday.

DJ psych0tron

B0B, aka DJ psych0tron, has been spinning aggressive dark dance beats around the mid-west for 13 years now. He currently resides at Club Inferno in Madison, hosting REVERB every 3rd Saturday alongside a different regional DJ every month. He is also featured on the initial roster of the up-and-coming Bass Asylum network of independent producers and DJs based in Milwaukee, and you can expect to see him making additional DJ appearances in and around the Milwaukee and Madison areas in the near future on top of the countless guest spots already performed through out the mid-west for the past decade.

With 3 weekends of every month featuring members of Sensuous Enemy destroying dance floors in Chicago and Madison, guest DJ appearances around the mid-west, excellent studio progress on new Sensuous Enemy material, and two live Sensuous Enemy shows booked in June with hopefully more to come during the summer, we’ve been keeping busy and hope that you folks enjoy all of the creative musical outlets we have out there and continue to enjoy the ones to come.

We all know someone or a relative of someone who has fought cancer and either survived it or didn’t.  For those who beat it, after enduring chemotherapy, radiation and a host of other torturous treatments, there is always the question in the mind of the cancer survivor…will it come back again?  Cancer is a disease that affects all of us in one way or another.  It’s especially difficult to swallow when it happens to someone who has made such a positive humanitarian social impact.

Electronic/Industrial/Rock music scene promoter, DJ and Rein[Forced] frontman, Jim Semonik is the brains behind the Electronic Saviors compilations. Jim survived stage 2B colorectal cancer in 2008, and then created one of the most successful compilations with 83 musicians, presented in a lovely 8 panel digipak with 16 page booklet titled Electronic Saviors: Industrial Music To Cure Cancer.  This project raised over 20K for Charities.

This new release,  Electronic Saviors 2: Recurrence,  includes 142 artists from all over the world with exclusive tracks from Wisconsin’s very own Sensuous Enemy,  The Dark Clan, Caustic and Null Device,  along with bands Covenant, I:Scintilla, The Gothsicles, God Module, System Syn, Project Pitchfork, Rein[Forced], 16Volt, Ayria, XuberX, Ego Likness, The Azoic, Bella Morte and many more . This incredible project includes beautiful and insightful artwork from Jeff Confer and Samantha Johnson.  The boxed set will be released on May 8th and can be pre-ordered from Metropolis.

“Jim dedicates this body of work to all who have suffered with cancer as well as survivors and loved ones touched by the disease.”
