The album opened a whole new genre by combining Electro, Industrial, EBM and Techno into a more dance floor-focused EBM style, simply called \u2018Techno Body Music\u2019. Tracks like \u201cElectrostatic\u201d, \u201cBody Pressure\u201d or \u201cElectric Vision\u201d today remain modern classics. Ever since the release of this groundbreaking debut LP, the Antwerp- based French producer and live act has consistently explored and redefined the boundaries of modern Techno \u2013 and he is not slowing down.<\/p>\n<p>In 2003 Fixmer teamed up with Nitzer Ebb\u2019s lead singer Douglas McCarthy to form Fixmer\/McCarthy \u2013 their partnership pushed the genre of Techno EBM to the maximum, resulting in two full-length albums, Between The Devil (2004) and Into The Night (2008). The duo has performed their energetic live sets at numerous renowned clubs and festivals all across the globe, functioning as a bridge between the Techno scene on the one hand, and the alternative EBM\/Gothic scene on the other. Fixmer\/McCarthy earned respect in the global scene for their unique way of creating truly pioneering sound fusions by elegantly blending the aggression of Techno Body Music and the sensuality of Electronica.<\/p>\n<p>In the years to come, Fixmer experimented with increasingly deep and dubby atmospheres and finally re-invented himself with his fourth solo album on Speedy J \u0301s label Electric Deluxe in 2010. Comedy Of Menace is a true Techno album: dark, hypnotic and energetic. Further releases on Electric Deluxe, Prologue, CLR, Deeply Rooted and his own label Planete Rouge have followed since, as well as a remix 12&#8243; on Ostgut Ton in 2015. His expansive discography under his real name as well as with his various alter egos Eisba\u0308r, Cyborg, Gemini 9 and Scanner has proven Fixmer\u2019s continued relevance and restless drive to create experimental, mind-bending, ruthless and unrelenting sounds, way beyond the musical mainstream.<\/p>\n<p>Terence Fixmer \u0301s music maintains musical depth and integrity, even in a club- or festival-context, and it appeals as much to dancing feet as it does to the searching soul. His fifth solo album Depth Charged (CLR, 2015) proved this with certainty and excellence, and was followed by the Beneath The Skin EP, his first solo release on Ostgut Ton.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/terencefixmerofficial\/\">Terence Fixmer on Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"thst-button small red round\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/train-wrecks-ft.-dustin-zahn\/id1074238869\"> Subscribe via iTunes <\/a><br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"thst-button small red round\" href=\"https:\/\/www.trainwreckspodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/TW027-Terence-Fixmer.mp3\"> Download Episode <\/a><br \/>\nPC: &#8216;Right Click&#8217; link and select &#8216;Save As&#8230;&#8217;<br \/>\nMac: Hold &#8216;Control&#8217; while clicking link and select &#8216;Save As&#8230;&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fixmer goes in-depth on his industrial roots, his diverse discography, and working with Douglas McCarthy in a post-Nitzer Ebb world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2140,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"https:\/\/www.trainwreckspodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/TW027-Terence-Fixmer.mp3","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"51:42","filesize":"47.43M","filesize_raw":"49735106","date_recorded":"08-09-2016","explicit":"on","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":""},"tags":[235,450,257,447,213,265,442,445,446,449,266,444,448,319,443,226],"series":[201],"class_list":["post-2138","podcast","type-podcast","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-berlin","tag-bonzai","tag-clr","tag-douglas-mccarthy","tag-drop-bass-network","tag-ebm","tag-electric-body-music","tag-electric-deluxe","tag-fixmermccarthy","tag-front-242","tag-industrial","tag-international-deejay-gigolo-records","tag-nitzer-ebb","tag-ostgut-ton","tag-planete-rouge","tag-techno","series-train-wrecks"],"episode_featured_image":"https:\/\/www.trainwreckspodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Terence-Fixmer-by-\u00a9-Pierre-Debusschere_3.jpg","episode_player_image":"https:\/\/www.trainwreckspodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Itunes-cover.jpg","download_link":"https:\/\/www.trainwreckspodcast.com\/podcast-download\/2138\/episode-027-terence-fixmer.mp3","player_link":"https:\/\/www.trainwreckspodcast.com\/podcast-player\/2138\/episode-027-terence-fixmer.mp3","audio_player":"<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-2138-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trainwreckspodcast.com\/podcast-player\/2138\/episode-027-terence-fixmer.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trainwreckspodcast.com\/podcast-player\/2138\/episode-027-terence-fixmer.mp3\">https:\/\/www.trainwreckspodcast.com\/podcast-player\/2138\/episode-027-terence-fixmer.mp3<\/a><\/audio>","episode_data":{"playerMode":"dark","subscribeUrls":[],"rssFeedUrl":"https:\/\/www.trainwreckspodcast.com\/feed\/podcast\/train-wrecks","embedCode":"<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"If7MB4Ns9C\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trainwreckspodcast.com\/index.php\/podcast\/episode-027-terence-fixmer\/\">Episode 027 &#8211; Terence Fixmer<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trainwreckspodcast.com\/index.php\/podcast\/episode-027-terence-fixmer\/embed\/#?secret=If7MB4Ns9C\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" title=\"&#8220;Episode 027 &#8211; Terence Fixmer&#8221; &#8212; Train Wrecks - A Podcast hosted by Dustin Zahn\" data-secret=\"If7MB4Ns9C\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><\/iframe><script>\n\/*!
