Die deutsche Sozialdemokratie passte sich zu Anfang des letzten Jahrhunderts der Expansionspolitik der herrschenden Klassen des Kaiserreichs mehr und mehr an, und schließlich ließ sie sich auch in deren Kriegskurs einbinden. Aus der Opposition gegen den Krieg und gegen die reformistische Anpassung der Sozialdemokratie ist in Generalstreiks und revolutionären Kämpfen die deutsche kommunistische Bewegung entstanden. Als Antwort auf die Verhältnisse in einem entwickelten Industrieland betonte sie die Eigenständigkeit der Massenbewegungen in Richtung zu einer demokratischen Machtergreifung und Machtausübung der Arbeiterklasse, und stand damit in diametralem Gegensatz zu der in Russland zur Macht gelangten hierarchischen Organisationsweise. Der deutsche Kommunismus scheiterte an der revolutionären Ungeduld und Empörung der radikalisierten Minderheit der  Arbeiterschaft und an seiner Blendung durch das siegreiche russische Beispiel – die für Deutschland angemessene Vorgehensweise zur Überzeugung der Mehrheit konnte nur inkurzen Episoden zum Tragen kommen. Die regierende Sozialdemokratie setzte den überwunden geglaubten Militarismus zur blutigen Niederschlagung der revolutionären Ansätze ein und vertiefte damit die Kluft zwischen den beiden Arbeiterparteien. Mit der Einigelung in der radikalen Selbstdarstellung, der Unterwürfi gkeit gegenüber den sowjetischen Eingriffen, der hierarchischen Unterdrückung der freien Diskussion warf die KPD ihre eigene Tradition über Bord und versagte vor ihrer historischen Aufgabe, eine gemeinsame Abwehrfront der Arbeiterklasse gegen den zur Macht strebenden Faschismus zu organisieren – durch Einheitsfrontangebote an die Sozialdemokratie, die dann dem Druck ihrer Mitglieder hätte nachgeben müssen, wäre das möglich gewesen.

DJ Balli teams up with Amphibian t take revenge on Luigi Galvani! "During the 1780s, biologist Luigi Galvani performed experiments at the University of Bologna involving frogs. While cutting a frog's leg, Galvani's steel scalpel touched a brass hook that was holding the leg in place. The leg twitched. Well the time has come we return Mr. Galvani a flying kick on behalf of Amphibian. Sincerely, Riccardo Balli" Released by Urbsounds as a 10" on green translucent vinyl including a download code. <iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=2791149956/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=e32c14/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" seamless><a href="http://urbsounds.bandcamp.com/album/galvanized-no-43">GALVANIzed | [ / ] no. 43 by Dj Balli + Amphibian</a></iframe>

The third release on Monolith is by Fire At Work and inlcudes a Hypnoskull remix. Label info: The sensational contribution of the Roman project Fire at work, risen over the millennium end, delivers the next 12″ release of the label. The sounds and visions of the two producers are coming directly from the most radical electronic counterculture’s pot, the industrial dimension and the radical sound choice seem to be the best and right way to tell the story of a dystopian reality, a meaningful choice useful to criticise humans and their civilisation. The complex of the Fire At Work production represents an act of cultural resistance, therefore Monolith Records seems to be the right and natural follow up of a long multidisciplinary journey. This release is the meeting point of two generations sharing a similar electronic countercultural background, in the middle of the ruins of a modern world which is nothing but a ripped-off planet, a consumed scenario where the radicalisation of the exclusivity leads the beings to the recurring Post-humanistic alienation. The music journey develops through cuts deliberately violating the borders of genre and style, leaving to the dark decaying soundscapes the duty to shape coherence. The overall dimension of this work floats in a tension between the mental form of the synths and the implacability of the concrete drumming asset, that alternates straight and broken beats merged by the same obsessive character. In order to consistently remark the intention behind the production, the Remix by hypnoskull for ‘Re_Sample The Future’, a tool shaped by an heavy distorted timber that brings lyrics to clarify the common denominator of the EP: a totalitarian vision of reality involving the rejection of the status quo, together with the roles and the scopes of a totally dehumanised system. The 2.0 Man is unarmed and similar to a cadaver, and his desires and senses are reconciled by a perpetual stream of information, a data replacement of reality. The one way direction streaming can be interrupted by noise, as the element able to distort meaning the unexpected element occurring in the middle between the matrix of the message ed his audience. Given such conditions the style choice becomes part of the concept itself, and it is far from any kind of ‘induced’ choice.

First Ausgang release from 2014 with tracks by Vikkei, Dane, Alexander Neveroils, and Vic A.G.U. Project

Bianca Ludewig: Utopie und Apokalypse in der Popmusik - Gabber und Breakcore in Berlin "Die Studie vermittelt ein anschauliches Bild der Gabber- und Breakcore-Szenen in Berlin der 2010er Jahre und versucht, deren Sound und sonische Qualitäten ins Zentrum einer kulturwissenschaftlichen Untersuchung zu stellen. Die Musik wird als Klangereignis präsent gemacht und in ihren sozialen Bezügen analysiert. Von dieser sonischen Ebene aus werden weitere Aushandlungsfelder rund um Stadt und Raum erschlossen. Nummer 47 in der Reihe der Veröffentlichungen des Institut für europäische Ethnologie der Universität Wien. Wien 2018 One copy back in stock!

The Human being is disappearing buried under the roles and timing of production and consumption, sentenced to stand by the ultimate seriality and being unable to distinguish reality and fiction.  In a world constantly accelerating towards no direction, men become a resource, basically meat for algorithms. Just like the simplest gear, any man can easily be replicated and replaced while being confined to the borders of a stream of information where reality is motionless. Considering the current human condition from the relevant perspective of Fire At Work matured from its extensive counter-culture militancy. Sound and noise are an extreme proof of human intention, electronic music is the common ground to face the mechanism even before the machine.  This release tells about the post-industrial alienation without being a passive statement. The choice of the composition materials (piano, ghironda, urban soundscapes), as much as the organization, outline a well defined position, claiming the preminence of the human act, the choice and the imperfection to be opposed to the accuracy of automations, and the sterility of binary choices. It's an act of resistance to the mechanism itself, instead of the machine.  The side A floats between a Piano intro and a cinematic tail of ghironda and Crumar, shaping the body itself of the ep: R/WS, a deep obsessive piece, framed between glitches, carries heavy downtempo rhythm and obscure timbres. On the B side, RW/S gets reshaped by Dadub and Positive Centre, two remixes swinging between broken-techno and pure experimentation, a tribal decay that closes the ep recalling once again a condition that is primitive, ritualistic and restless.  <iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1559176833/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=e32c14/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" seamless><a href="http://stirpe999.bandcamp.com/album/on-the-edge-of-human-being-2">On The Edge Of Human Being by Fire At Work</a></iframe>

Another spot on the map of the Weevil Neighbourhood: after our latest excursion into the intensely droney yet fragile and unstable musique concrete of Repetition/Distract's 'Old Weevil Neighbourhood' (Cat.No: PICNIC), we continue mapping the terrain with our eyes closed and our ears wide open. BLINDFOLD (Cat.No) comes as a mid-tempo two-tracker from an artist who wants to stay anonymous. A-side 'All Those Colours...' is a Dubtechno inspired piece that contrasts its laid-back soundscapes with a broken beat and hectic highhats that converge with large rooms of reverberation. '...We Cannot See', the counterpart on side B, contrasts static drumwork with shuffling breaks and early hardcore sounds with noisey drones that cold-warmly cover more or less the whole piece. This is the 2017 limited repress on black vinyl! <iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=4132952303/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=e32c14/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" seamless><a href="http://weevilneighbourhood.bandcamp.com/album/all-those-colours-we-cannot-see">All Those Colours / We Cannot See by Unknown Artist</a></iframe>

/The first release in 2013 comes from Kyoto based artist Katsunori Sawa. Sawa is one half of japanese duo Steven Porter (the other half being Yuji Kondo), who made an appearance on the label in late 2011 with the "LR EP". "The Two Legs EP" continues pretty much where the duo's earlier outing left us sound wise. Sawa's very own take on the mid tempo spectrum results in four tracks that, regardless of their obvious focus on rhythmic repetition, appear either internally unstable and arduosly brought under control or both brutal and fragile at the same time. It is that tension between aggression and timidity, control and unrest that Sawa seems to contribute to the joint venture with Yuji Kondo and we're very happy to present the musical outcome of this solo project on "The Two Legs EP"./This is the 2017 repress on black vinyl!<iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1083646749/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=e32c14/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" seamless><a href="http://weevilneighbourhood.bandcamp.com/album/the-two-legs">The Two Legs by Katsunori Sawa</a></iframe>

Label info: Over the course of nearly a decade of releases, Szare  have have been a mainstay of UK dance music, cementing their reputation through a string of essential releases for labels like Horizontal Ground, Idle Hands, Field, Project 13 and Different Circles. We’re extremely proud to add another name to that list, with this diverse selection of tracks that comprise both new ideas and forgotten loops, re-visited and re-tooled. The first track, Miner, is named after a street in Downtown Stockton, CA. Whilst Miner isn’t directly about the Central Valley of California, the juxtaposed rhythmic and thematic iterations that outline its structure reflect the uncanny incongruence of the environment that birthed it. From the opening bar, the rhythms are pounding, frenetic, and totally unhinged… We won’t give away the payoff though; listen to the tune. Cut with Glass - written after a recycling mishap - perfectly encapsulates a vintage side of the Szare sound - minimal, free from ornamentation, and with an approach to uk sound system culture that exhibits a more westward-gazing sound palette than initially meets the eye. Drop Shadow rounds off the package; as much an exploration of concrète as it is bass music, the drop to 100bpm facilitates one of the most controlled and perfectly executed arrangements we’ve ever heard out of Szare. The spasms of noise throughout are used as a fundamental instrument, complimented by pointillist licks of dubbed out vocals and strings that reach a fever-pitch in the closing third.  <iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=824429793/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=e32c14/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" seamless><a href="http://szare.bandcamp.com/album/polity001">POLITY001 by Szare</a></iframe>
