CYNOSURE*93 - (Self Released - c90 -199?)

 Another mystery tape, this time from the collection of my friend Carsten Olbrich, musician and owner of the tape label Ebu`s Music, tape label  & mail-order established in 1988 and covered in this blog a few times. Carsten is still very active nowadays and you can read all the news and info on his actual webpage.

The music evolves in strange passages of electronic experimentation, touching the abstract, the industrial and somehow a hint of minimal techno. The recording is pretty good, yet the spartan cover sleeve reports no info, only the song titles. Anybody out there with some solid info about it? Carsten and I will be very happy to know more.

Big thanks to Carsten for donating to this blog this nice pearl from the crypt of the 90s. Enjoy it.

In 2007, Sangre de Abajo emerged from a need to challenge what punk meant at that time because we felt there was no cultural essence within the scene. From that burning need, we formed, here in Chicago, an all-female punk band of Mexican descent. It was with the purpose of filling that cultural void that we decided to incorporate the culture of the barrio and the ancestral Mexican culture with its Indigenous roots into our music. Sangre de Abajo is an all-female punk band composed of four members. Originally, our members consisted of Lupita (vocals), Martha (bass and backing vocals), Mariam (guitar and backing vocals), and Lupe (drums). In April 2009, we decided not to continue with the Sangre project for various reasons, but we continued to participate in the Chicago punk scene in other capacities. But we still saw an absence within the scene. So, because of that important need, Lupita, Martha, and Lupe got together in June 2013 with a new guitarist, Ara. The best way to describe our music is punk rock with old-school vibes. Our diverse influences stem from politics, Mexican punk, cumbia, hip-hop, and all the genres in between. We continue to learn our instruments and are determined to master them with the skills that allow us to evolve and improve our sound so we can continue to express ourselves.

 

DsorDNE - 24 O 25 Gru/o/mo - (Discordia/Hax - Germany/Italy -1994)

 DsorDNE came from Torino, Italy and evolved as group out of the electronic experimental post punk project Novostj. The core of DsorDNE was Marco Milanesio, accompanied by singer Roberta Ongaro in the early years.Thus some releases are more like solo projects while others feature a full cast. Their spectrum ranged from Experimental to structured Electro Poetry and Soundtrack like Instrumental electronic music.
In 1987 they released the first track on a split-single shared with The Legendary Pink Dots issued with an edition of Snowdonia Fanzine which assured them some popularity.
After the 2nd Album, a mixture of electronic songs and a chapter of experimental electronica published as co-release between Hax and Discordia in 1994, releases got sparse and Marco went on mainly operating his studio full time as owner and technician, also the activities of the co-owned Hax label fizzled out during the mid-90's.
