pleazure.org, home of industrial cool

Solid pleazure (url-identity: pleazure.org) hosts some attempts to twist and bend everyday life. One approach is to develop the concept of Industrial Cool, which is a way to examine the changing roles and images of traditional manufacturing industries.

Projects currently housed under this roof:

  • Skiftet (The Shift)
  • What happens when some of Sweden’s most respected electronica-artists are forced to work according to the strict temporal forms that has characterized industrial work for decades?

  • IC1 - The birth of Industrial Cool
  • Texts, images and sounds that outline the ideas of Industrial Cool. The site also presents an electronica compilation CD including artists like Scanner, Rechenzentrum and Håkan Lidbo.

  • Selko : Refinery
  • A four-track electronica-release by artist Selko, free to download. The tracks are mainly based on sounds from the Arlöv Sugar Refinery.
