Hear hear :)
I'm Inge. I know Alexander from the MadTracker scene, and we visited each other twice outside the internet. I'm a huge fan of his music.

Being an editor in chief of a nice and shiny little electronic music blog (a tiny one, but I assume they all work the same), I might provide some ideas concerning do's and don't.
1: make an absolutely stunning 10 minute promomix of the album. Pendulum did so for their previous album (which also sucked), and it reached a lot of blogs without even giving much marketing attention to it.
2: use your best track (which, if I might guess, is Forte da Funk), make a short and informal press release including the link to this track (on soundcloud and as a deeplink), and send it to the, oh well, 100 most influential music blogs. Visit each site personally, address the authors by their (website) name, and propose to give exclusive material / free downloads / free cd's if they give attention to your album. Don't mass mail. I would mark it as spam.
3: make a refreshing video clip for your best track. Blogs love posting video's of kick ass footage. Nobody Beats The Drum (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ntc4l-poovo) did an amazing job, but it also took them bloody ages to make this.
4: facebook and twitter are your friends. Spread the word, find influential people to repeat your message.
5: digg and reddit, imho, aren't worth the time and energy that you need to create mass - and by doing so attention - there. They're so general that you reach loads and loads of people that you don't want to reach. Long tails are the new, er, short tails.

Your Dutch is as impressive as your skills to take a quote from Monty Python's Quest for the holy grail and have Google translate it.
I've never paid a bloody thing, but I did came up with the track list for one of your previous ep's. Furthermore, I have long and intense history with He-man and Skeletor, and I used to have the first release of the Spawn comic. Does that make me a super hero?
