Following up the remake of the Cabaret Voltaire industrial classic ‘Nag Nag Nag’ (with Cabs’ Stephen Mallinder); ‘Applied Decadence’ is a collection of long-playing new tracks - and the band’s 32nd release.

Arguably a classic of early-period Cabaret Voltaire - and a defining moment in the emergence of Industrial music - ‘Nag Nag Nag’ merged Cabs’ sense of punk angst with new and distorted sounds.

The 2013 version by 3kStatic + Stephen Mallinder stays true to form, while taking a sinister approach in its own right.

After nearly a year in the works, the final version was recorded, arranged and finalized in record time, with Mallinder’s fresh new vocal take in the fore.

EP also includes the 41 minute-plus ambient track ‘Retrogressive’

Billie Ray Martin “The Crackdown” - Cabaret Voltaire cover by “a kid from the red light district of Hamburg who wanted to be a soul singer and found herself making repetitive electronic music, while still trying to be soul singer,” with guest vocal by Stephen Mallinder himself.

When Billie Ray Martin told Stephen Mallinder she had just finished the job of selling out Cabaret Voltaire to disco, he burst out laughing. The legendary head of famed electronic band Cabaret Voltaire saw no reason to stop her. Instead, he agreed to deliver his first vocal performance in years on Billie’s cover of the Cabs song ‘The Crackdown’. Produced by top Berlin tech-house act Maertini Bros, this production brings Billie Ray Martin back to her cutting-edge house music roots. (The Crackdown Project)
