Sensuous Enemy 2012
We started in 2004 and put out our first album “Deadly Sins”, which included six original songs and one cover that was released on Sonic Mainline label out of Madison, Wisconsin, owned and operated by Matt Fanale of the band Caustic.
In 2006 we came out with our first full length album “Fragments” with eight originals, one cover and four incredibly powerful remixes from some of the most well known bands in the EDM Industrial music genre.
The album was mixed and produced by Wade Alin of the bands The Atomica Project & Christ Analogue in Chicago and also released on Sonic Mainline label.
Then after a couple of years of continued growth and changing members we signed to a new label called Radio-Active-Music [RAM] out of Virginia Beach, Virginia, owned and operated by Laura Hofford. We released “Parity” in 2010 with three original songs and seven fabulous remixes.
In 2011 we continued writing new songs, we designed a new light show, performed numerous shows throughout the Midwest and we delivered a powerful and exciting east coast tour.
By the middle of 2013 we had written nine more songs. We wrote and recorded all summer and released our single “Sirens of the Sea” this past September with five moving remixes. In one short week you’ll now be able to purchase and listen to our newest and second full length album “Voyager”, with nine original songs, mixed and produced by Wisconsonites Dan Clark of Listless Works and mastered by Eric Oehler of Submersible Studios!
We will be performing most of “Voyager” at The Frequency in downtown Madison, Wisconsin on Saturday November 16th, with our new label mates Null Device and pounding dance beats provided by DJ Siberia!
That isn’t all though. The best news is that we recently signed with the long established, well known Nilaihah Records out of Columbus, OH,owned and operated by Kristy Venrick of the band The Azoic!! Both our single “Sirens of the Sea” and our full length album “Voyager” will be released under Nilaihah Records this month! We’re so excited to be a part of the Nilaihah team of bands and friends!! Check out our music and some of the fabulous bands currently signed to Nilaihah Records!
We look forward to performing for you in the near future. Thanks to all of our family, friends and fans and for all of your support, love and dedication. We could not have done this without YOU!
While we’re working on mixing and mastering our new CD “VOYAGER” we’re going to take some time to be perform a couple of shows so you can hear some of the new songs!
The first show will be in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at Club Anything on Friday, August 30th, along with The Azoic from Columbus, Ohio and Null Device from Madison, Wisconsin, both on Nilaihah Records.

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!
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!

Here is a great article about five different ways to start writing songs. We attempt to do this by switching between programming and piano. Recently, John has been starting the songs with a few drum tracks and synth tracks and then I add lyrics and melody lines. This works well for us some of the time. But what I find really works for me as a composer/artist/singer, is to sit down at my piano and come up with a song that I can just transfer to John once the core of it is complete.
The main struggle for me is finding the right time and energy to sit down and play the piano for a couple of hours. It takes a lot of discipline, which I’ve never been very good at when it comes to playing the piano for more than 20 or 30 minutes.
So, after reading this article, we might attempt to begin our songs with a different approach and see how it goes.
We have a great show for you on Wednesday, July 11th at The Frequency, 121 W. Main St. downtown Madison!
This is an 18+ Show – $5 cover – Doors at 8:00pm
Cynergy 67 will be touring on their “Sinthesize Tour 2012” with special guests Madison’s very own Sensuous Enemy and…
The Jimmy Coffin (Sideshow) Infusion “I am the one and only Jimmy Coffin. I am a sideshow freak with tricks such as: Fire breathing, fire walking, fire eating, fire juggeling, glass walking, glass eating, bed of nails, human cannonball, Human blockhead,human bulliten board, Human dartboard, Geek, animal traps, straight jacket escape, eye hooks, finger smash, goldfish regurgitation, kiss of death along with some other misc. tricks, a true 10 in 1 one man sideshow, one of the last of a dying breed.”
We’re going to have a lot of fun at this one, so come on out and enjoy the craziness with us!

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.
