“Shelled Landscape” is the reality of what happens when those in power are given free reign. It is the reality of much of the surface of the earth today whether it be the embattled oceans, metaphorically shelled as they are filled with waste or even literally shelled through their use as the site for military testing, mines, submarine warfare and missile launches… Or the bombed out areas which, having outlived their use, are abandoned by profiteers though many still live there and build their communities despite the deprivation of resources… Landscapes shelled by forced labor, mining, logging, drilling, fracking… Countless nations decimated by wars of power, decade after decade, total unending unwindable wars for wars sake. Gentrification produces wave after wave of metaphorical Shelled Landscapes as entire communities and ways of life are stamped out or displaced by increasingly corporate and useless businesses and temporary residences for the rich and out of touch. To speak of this landscape as post apocalyptic would be to ignore that many are already living the apocalypse. And still, communities are built, children are raised, gods of truth and justice are worshipped, bonds are made, the human spirit is strong despite the merciless greed of those who wish to harness it for their profit.

“No Map” emerges directly from the sound of the track that comes before it as a new consciousness, a new wildness born from a landscape of apparent destruction. It clearly proposes that salvation lies in nature, but not in the exploitation of nature. Salvation lies in total surrender to nature. The map will annihilate us, we must put it down and listen to the voices of our ancestors and the spirits of nature within us. No human power can save us, make us safe, give us direction. Stop trying to fix it. Stop trying to make it work. Stop trying to protect your pride. Get lost. Give up. Let the wild swallow you whole and spit you out as you were meant to be. It knows. It has been moving since long before we were born.

Musiques Electroniques Actuelles presents U.S.O.C.A., side project of Jānis Sils launched some years after Bedre (Riga based minimal synth, punk act) stopped. This 6 tracks EP (to be released: June, 15th) includes compositions from 1991 to 1994, recorded in Chicago after Janis Sils emigrated from Riga, Latvia. Made with mostly self built instruments, here's an trash and solid industrial sound. Influenced by label Wax Trax! & bands like Laibach, Nine Inch Nails, Front 242, Lassigue Bendthaus... The world of U.S.O.C.A. reflects a strong talk to military minds. Something straight with no breathe. A uniting calling for masses.

"U.S.O.C.A. is an abbreviation of Urinating Statue Of Castrated Angel.
The name was adopted in early 90’s by the band members Jānis and Anna Sils in Chicago for an industrial EBM music project. Jānis Sils emigrated from Soviet  Latvia in 1989 and brought a vast underground electro punk music experience with him from his past musical project Bedre. Anna Sils at the time was a graduate of Georgetown University and a Law student in Chicago. Jānis was a fashion design student at the Art Institute of Chicago. Anna’s talent of English language writing mixed with Jānis’ creativity in sound design, midi programming and analog recording allowed them to produce these dark sounding tracks. All of the material was recorded at a home built studio using Yamaha RX5 rhythm programmer wired through midi to Roland S10 sampler that recorded samples onto Smith Corona type writer magnetic memory discs. The samples often were created from scratch and programming of songs was manually done by Jānis in a very primitive and time consuming way of the time. They stretched the capacity of the available equipment to the maximum and filtered the individual pads, samples and vocals through various effects processors and guitar distortion pedals. Digital pitch shifting was often used to modify vocals and drum machine beats.
The lyrics were written and edited by both Anna and Jānis in Latvian as well as in English languages often covering both Latvian, American or British popular songs with a sick sarcastic twist.
Later in their lives after separation Jānis landed his career in NYC as one of the heads of clothing design for several major American fashion brands and Anna works an attorney for a Swiss bank in Hong Kong. Both have successful careers and families with young children."

Opaques

Subsistir VA, is the compilation made in co-op with Raw Quarterr and Pildoras Tapes labels from Bogota, Colombia. A project curated separately according to the style of each one, with the aim of creating utilitarian music that invites to the reflection of the effort to subsist all the funds raised will be given to the Embera indigenous people who are trapped in Bogotá without being able to leave, due to the contingency of COVID19.

The artists that make up the compilation are Eduardo de la calle, Aleja Sanchez, Brayan Valenzuela, Astronomical Telegram, Black Propaganda, Alessan Main, SOJ, Rise Black, Dim Deck, Magnum Opus, Maceas, MVQX, Dj Maybe and much more.

It is the first time that two labels have come together to produce a two-part compilation and we are proud to join because we believe that music, despite not being first-hand need as the goverment says, music can help inclusion, liberation or even salvation.
