During 2020, Murcia-based Spanish producer JG Outsider<\/a> officially remixed the song “Phantom Chase” by Belgian ’80s band The Arch<\/a>, led by vocalist Gerd Van Geel. In the process, JG Outsider created a version of the masterful “Ribdancer” (’90s Antler-Subway) for a tribute compilation in 2023. The two experienced musicians then decided to embark on the composition of Pornographic Shadows<\/em>, an extraordinary album with a dark synth and new wave spirit, carried by Gerd\u2019s extraordinary vocals.

The result is a brilliant partnership between the legendary singer of The Arch and JG Outsider, a producer with more than thirty years of experience who also carried an important weight in the Spanish scene of the ’90s. JG Outsider is an artist in constant evolution, and after so much time, he returns to his roots to the style that influenced him in the ’80s so much to start as a musician and producer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMysterious Beauty\u201d single<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first single, \u201cMysterious Beauty,\u201d is out now. The stunning music video<\/a> is directed by vocalist Gerd Van Geel, who also directs videos for music festivals such as Tomorrowland. The haunting aesthetic features an ethereal figure in gold embellishments, contrasted with a romantic forest setting that enchants in a gothic fantasy realm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song is an ode to dark romanticism with a distinct \u201880s alternative sound modernized with JG Outsider\u2019s electronic production. With charged post-punk guitars, pulsing synths, and powerful vocals that soar into stratospheric dimensions, this duo\u2019s embrace of genres past fuses with fresh inspiration for future sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
