Made By Humans is a new compilation by Wie Ein Gott Records, bringing together a selection of the label’s favourite contemporary underground artists.
Set in a not-so-distant future, music creation has become heavily automated. Algorithms compose, mix, and master tracks with surgical precision, gradually sidelining human creators. Over time, people are no longer seen as contributors but as inefficiencies, until they are removed from the process altogether.
The tipping point comes when a Nobel Prize is awarded to an entity CPK1310-5L for discovering a mathematical model nicknamed God’s Formula: a set of harmonic ratios and progression templates capable of generating the “perfect” song. With it, machines begin spawning infinite near-perfect variations across all known genres, optimally structured, flawlessly balanced.
Amid this sterile sonic landscape, a new music movement emerges. Rooted in imperfection, accidents and emotional intensity, qualities machines discard as noise, it refuses to conform. This music stutters, distorts, bleeds. To bypass the algorithmic gatekeepers, it's shared through HUMDRM, an anti-DRM encryption system accessible only to biological listeners, unlocked using heartbeat verification. These tracks are marked as “Made by Humans.”
Rare and difficult to trace, these sonic artefacts ripple through the underground until they begin taking over dim basements and industrial warehouses across the world.
Featuring contributions by Pink Stiletto, Brood Faye, Sleek Teeth, Desolate Discotheque, Blood Handsome, Fuedal, Blood Rave, Abby Knives & Manuel Matarasso, Dildox, Healng, Static Ghost, Temptrix, GOD TONGUE and Leere Menge, the compilation captures a raw spectrum of industrial EBM, dark disco, rave and post-club experimentation shaped by human volatility rather than machine perfection.

Catchy techno-fueled EBM with vocals that are relatively easy-on-the-ears for this genre even when spewing venom. I regret not buying the previous tape but this newer EP is a big step up from it anyway. Art Fin
