The year was 1989 and someone out there released this nice sampler, many artists took part in it, I guess all the artists are from Treviso or, at the least from Veneto region in Northern Italy.
I have no idea how many copies were printed back then and who compiled it yet this is a great one.
If you are into experimental electronics, old school new wave and similar genres than you`ll like it.
Last Month I saw this astonishing Brighton based duo twice and I was very well impressed by their furious energy, stunning performances and music. Eventually, we had a quick chat and agreed about a future post on this blog.
Their sheer energy is like a slap in our face and I can only recommend you all to go to see them live. This is their very first production available as free download on their Bandcamp Page where you`ll find other 2 albums, including the last one called "Succulent"
Violent raw Hardcore Punk with a low fi recording in this tape by the Brasilian Difekto !
Political lyrics screamed with an angry voice, fast guitar riffs and powerful drums make this cassette a real piece of anarcho-punk history.
The cover sleeve reports lyrics and graphics.
Sin Fronteras Records was a label based in Minneapolis, releasing mostly crust and hardcore bands from the local area, as well as some Spanish speaking hardcore bands from South America. Enjoy it. ~f*a~r_a^w}a)y* click me
I have been attending a few fantastic parties organized by this amazing sound system and I have been thinking to write something about Hekate for quite a while now, yet I only had fragmented info and not enough stuff to make a comprehensive post about it.
Luckily I have met Luke Hekate lately and he kindly agreed to help me passing me links, pics and writing an introduction.
Today I am really happy to be able to make this post including some amazing videos about their history and experiences developed in more than 20 years of activity.
Here a very interesting interview to Dan Hekate broadcasted on Resonance FM in 2006 for their 10 years anniversary + a small intro written by Luke and few other great gifts.
I keep my writing short, my gratitude to Luke and all the Hekate Krew for their help and collaboration.
Enjoy it.

Hekate Sound System
A Pan European Art and Music Collective that has been running for over 22 years.
Originating in London in the mid-1990s as a response to the more straightforward musical genres in the rave scene; Hekate Krew brought their dark, hard-edged weirdness to the party. A stage for experimentation, a place for art and sculpture that went beyond. Expanding out into art events and concerts and plays the collective was never happy simply to turn up and play a few Spiral tunes, what was on offer was always fresh and varied. Spending the next decade travelling the wastelands, Hekate spent summers helping run Teknivals across both Eastern and Western Europe. Plotting up in Spain, Italy and France over the winter periods to do parties and exhibitions.
On their return to Britain, they were involved in the Reclaim the Streets, Temporary Autonomous Art events and Synthetic Circus parties.
Over the years they have run a variety of record labels Coven-H, Hex, Anamonia, Spine recordings and New Skin.
The Hekate krew have gone on to become teachers, filmmakers and even robot engineers. Although their output has slowed down a release on Praxis (No. 57) and Rxstinz is imminent for The Wirebug.
The next Hekate party will be in Berlin May 11th 2019 alongside Menthal and Workin Klass Noize. https://www.facebook.com/events/992621484280463/
A fantastic split CD by two German artists playing noise-ambient mixed with drone and esoteric electronicks.
Tarkatak is the project of the German artist Lurs Pruditsch; who also was running the interesting tape label called Trummer Kasseten during the mid-90s. Tarkatak seems to be still active nowadays and has been collaborating with different artists during these years of activity: C.Reider, No, Anemone Tube, Deep, Klangwart.
I have already posted 3 tapes by this amazing project, you`ll find them here.
The audio works of Anemone Tube are a unique blend of dark ambient and industrial/noise music with a strong psychogenic impact. The use of constantly shifting and altering sounds and moods is possibly one of the most intriguing things about the audio creations of Anemone Tube. This is his official webpage where you can read about his long discography, collaborations, gigs, tours and more stuff.
Edition of 300 copies. CDr comes inside a jewelcase, with jute wrapped around it. Track 1 recorded Jan./Feb. 1998. Mixed May 1999 using the track "Lingering Clouds" by Anemone Tube (5.50-9.20). Tracks 2-6 created through use of electric guitar. Recorded and mixed from December 1998 to August 1999. Final editing August 1999.
