The New Ways – The Truth About Your Illness
Out August 29, 2025 via Dysfunct Records

The Truth About Your Illness is a raw, four-track EP by The New Ways that channels a lifetime of sonic rebellion into a blistering fusion of acid house and industrial techno. Rooted in the squelching basslines of the Roland TB-303 and soaked in the mechanical grit of 90s warehouse raves, the EP pays tribute to the genre-bending spirit of pioneers like Phuture, Cabaret Voltaire, and Throbbing Gristle.

Across its runtime, the record is a study in contrast: visceral yet hypnotic, nostalgic yet forward-pushing. With its heavy nods to 90s house and techno aesthetics, The Truth About Your Illness is both a personal statement and a dancefloor weapon—an unflinching look at what it means to survive, age, and keep creating in a world that often prefers silence over truth.
