Berlin EBM Artist XTR HUMAN Confronts the Digital Masquerade on New Single Fake

Berlin EBM artist XTR HUMAN, the project of Johannes Stabel, releases the single “Fake” on October 9 through Wie Ein Gott Records. Recorded at Infinite Power Studios in Los Angeles with producer Matia Simovich, the track uses entirely analog construction to explore themes of digital isolation and manufactured identity. The song features a metallic bass synth line and club-driven vocals that reference Neue Deutsche Welle and hip-hop. Its structure draws comparisons to Fad Gadget, DAF, and Nitzer Ebb. Stabel’s work spans coldwave, post-punk, industrial electronics, techno, and EBM, with previous albums including G.O.L.D and Schrank. He performs internationally at festivals including Wave-Gotik-Treffen and Absolution Festival, with upcoming 2026 shows scheduled.
