Raising Hell N24 - (Fanzine-UK-2021)


 Issue 24 of this very famous English Zine ,the issue 23 was released in 1990 and then Ben relesed a few zines using the name You`re So Hideous during the 90s. After 30 years Ben got back in the zine scene with his well-known name "Raising Hell", just when Sned of Amorphous Pieces released a full book -Omnibus 1982-1990 containing all the old issues squeezed into 500 pages,a microscopic monster,to say at the least.

In this issue interviews to Mau-Maus, Rebel Riot and Backstreet Abortions + the Mexican libertarian collective J.A.R., thons of music reviews ,books reviews, graphix and rants. An excellent zine and the editorial of this issue is definetly something to read...! Enjoy it.

v.a.- ACIL Urgent Solidarity Music - (Radio Chiguiro-France-Bandcamp-2023)


 

ACIL means "EMERGENCY" in Turkish language.

Facing the human disaster linked to the recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria, a wave of solidarity was born spontaneously within Radio Chiguiro Records.
Everybody was hit by this disaster. Since the label's first charitable activities, the team has been convinced that art and music can play this role: to go beyond their primary function by helping people in need.

In just 4 days, 54 incredible artists from 28 countries have joined this solidarity adventure to form this great compilation of electronic music from Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, Europe and elsewhere. Whether techno, amapiano, batida, downtempo, afro-house, abstract hip-hop, ambient, singeli, drum'n'bass, latin or experimental, we hope that the magic of music will work to help victims.

Radio Chiguiro would like to thank all the artists who participated in the compilation, without forgetting those who support the project, even from afar.

At first, ACIL is available exclusively on Bandcamp for the price of 10€, and 100% of the funds raised will be donated to the French NGO Alliance Urgences.

The mission of the Alliance Urgence is to organize mobilization, and in particular fundraising, in the event of the occurrence of a humanitarian emergency. These funds are then allocated to the NGO members of the association (Action contre La Faim, Care France, Handicap International, Médecins du Monde, Plan International France and Solidarités International) with a view to organizing humanitarian aid in the field.
Following the earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria, the Alliance Urgences launched an appeal for solidarity.

In addition to the compilation, you can also support the NGO via this link:

STARFISH POOL - Interference `96 - (Nova Zembia-Belgium-1996)



  The electronic project of Koen Lybaert - that evolved out of Starfish Enterprises - that was active between 1993 and 2003. Starfish Pool was working in the experimental area of minimal, rhythmic, ambient and noise in all its aspects. Since the very start it is the manipulation of loops - the basic idea of the way tracks were created as Starfish Pool. This concept that has nothing to do with the sound but more with the way that tracks where practically made. In 10 years' time Starfish Pool had more than 25 releases. 

 Nova Zembla was a sub label of KK Records in Belgium. Initially launched in 1993, releasing material licensed from the pioneering Australian trance label Psy-Harmonics.with artist's such as Zen Paradox, Lumukanda, Third Eye, and Shaolin Wooden Men,
As the label began to establish itself in the European tech-trance seen. new artist's were added to their line up, and the music became more diversified, and releases started to feature material that ranged from hard trance like Delta Plan and Bulbawee to sci-fi ambient like Starfish Pool and hard chill trance such as Self-Transforming Machine Elves. and Goa trance by Elysium, Rounding things off with artists like Worm, Black Lung, Xingu Hill, and Sympathy Nervous who were more techno oriented, and their material was more experimental or ambient in nature, rather than trance.
Label shut down in 2000. (all info from Discogs)  click me
