about

LP/CD available at bit.ly/402WZ66

Helmed by iconic underground figures Russell Kilbey (The Crystal Set and younger brother of The Church mainman Steve Kilbey) and provocateur and free-thinker David Thrussell (Snog, Black Lung and Soma), Sex Industrie burned briefly but brightly in the tumultuous early 1990s.

Inspired by The KLF (notably their guide to anarchic Pop success, The Manual) and U.K. grunge-techno grebos Pop Will Eat Itself, Thrussell and Kilbey broke the Australian mold, with their post-punk pre-house attitude and array of samplers, loops, synths and other gizmos.

Though only released, at the time, on a couple of forgotten singles, a subterranean cache of astounding recordings are presented here largely for the first ever time.

With the blessing of Angus and Malcolm, Sex Industrie recorded their magical take on AC/DC's classic 'Jailbreak' in 1991, only to have it scuttled and buried by music industry shenanigans.

A couple of years later, Kilbey and Thrussell waxed the joyous tech-house mysticism of 'Get Lost', a sublime romp that vanished unfairly into the ether.

DW Entertainment proudly presents a brand new (and newly remastered in 2024) 10 track compilation LP (with an included CD with 8 extra tracks) of these unknown gems. Most tracks are previously unreleased.

Most tracks written and recorded in Steve Kilbey's (The Church) 'Karmic Hit' Studios and John Phillips' (Not Drowning, Waving) 'Pig Pen' Studios (1990-1994).

If Australia ever had an equivalent of the KLF, it was Sex Industrie. The wry, raucous mash-up of techno blitz and intelligent indie-pop songwriting you have never heard...but definitely need.
