The Horrorist Live – Malta 2010 from Oliver Chesler on Vimeo.

As you can see from the video above I did my best letting the people of Malta know where they live, “Malta!”. I know its silly in the video but at 2:00AM it worked just fine. I played a new intro and a new song during the set and I was pleased. I love surprising DJs who don’t know my show with my antics. Billy Nasty took it in stride and smartly played some good party techno after my set. Thanks to everyone who was there. See you next time!

Matt Moran aka Satronica is one of my best friends. For years I promised him a good remix and I was finally able to deliver something I liked. Tech notes: I used a crazy amount of automation on the delay of his voice (TC Powercore) and multiple instances of Sugar Bytes Effectrix.

Shout (The Horrorist remix) – Satronica by thingstocome

Think Satronica’s nightmarish vocals over dueling basslines on fire against a backdrop of bludgeoning kick drum distortion. With stellar remixes by 2 of Schranz & Hardcore Techno’s leading innovators Broken Rules and Tymon, a collaboration with mega-pioneer Oliver Chesler aka The Horrorist, and an innovative new sound from Satronica…hardcore body music. – Industrial Strength Records

ISR085: Satronica – Live Blood Pain Death
A1: Life Blood Pain Death (Tymon remix)
A2: Eternal War (Broken Rules remix)
B1: Shivered
B2: Shout (The Horrorist remix)

Here is a photo set from my December 19, 2009 live show in Linz, Austria. Overall it was a good event in a wonderful looking (and sounding) wine cellar called the Cembrankeller. My friends Pet Duo from Brazil also performed. See you next time Austria!

Late last year I moved from Berlin to New York City. I also bought a small building that needed some serious renovations. Before I left Berlin I had about twenty unreleased songs ready for my next album after Attack Decay (Amazon link). Life happened and everything went into moving boxes. Months later still no album release date. That’s the reason I released a few of those songs free over the past few months. In case you missed them here they are.

I’m proud of these three. I honestly feel Born this Way is my best song-writing effort to date. I Stand by You goes back to my EBM roots and was created to be performed live. I only posted a preview of We Will Get Wicked (I have to leave some goodies for the album right?). I think you will enjoy the lock the door and do bad things lyrics.

I’ve finally had a chance to start picking through and mixing the other 17 songs. I’ve also been on a music gear shopping spree that wilol surely be helping my inspiration as the cold weather hits the city. Thanks for waiting.

I am building an all new Things to Come Records website. An archive of more than 15 years of releases, remixes, show photos, fliers, videos, press and reviews. However, as the name of this label suggests there is more to come. Get ready for the next wave in music. I hope you enjoy this site as I build the archive and add new releases. Here is the first release on Things to Come Records from 1996:

TTC-001/Arrivers by thingstocome

Acrosome – Future Man by thingstocome

“A long awaited new offering from the Chesler crew over in NYC, but this time its all the work of Oliver’s brother Alexander, and excellent it is too! Its always nice to hear a new TTC record because they are always different to all the other records that are coming out. Indeed TTC are driving their own bandwagon and full respect to them for that! All six tracks on this EP are based around beautifully simple Analog synth lines, combined with minimal percussion, and the trademark TTC vocal style (but more subtle than the Horrorist’s). If you can’t see it yet, then think of a cross between The Arrivers (TTC1) & The Horrorist, and the result is some sort of fucked up gothic doomhousecore!?! My favortites are ‘Gametetrans’ & ‘Freaks’ (which have a distinct Suburban Knight/Mover ‘Art of Stalking’ sound and feel to them), and ‘Akros Soma’ (relentless out-there spacecomacore….Ithink?…I mean how else do I describe it!!) Brilliant! ” – Face Hoover, Crossbones, UK

“TTC-007 Alexander Chesler delivers some top quality stalking techno with vocals, gothic influences & wierd noises. TTC are back so check it out !!! ” – Phuture Rave Distribution
