SOCIETY SUICIDE

The world as you know it is coming to an end. The good times are over. It's not just the hours, the days and all the years behind you. Nor is it about nostalgia that makes you turn to the past, brooding over all the chances you have not taken and will never be able to take.
	
It's the demise of the order that seemed permanent and paced the life of several generations of the wealthy North. Everybody desired the same thing: a house, preferably in the suburbs; a new car every few years; an exotic holiday; a permanent job and a substantial pension. All those attributes of a prosperous life, tailored to bourgeoise ambitions, have always been available only to the few. The global majority have always lived in want, suffering humiliation due to injustice they have experienced. Their aspirations for normality are only natural and logical. But can we imagine a 21st century society of billions of people living in prosperity, a global middle class? Satisfied consumers who can relax after work in nice cottages on the city outskirts?

This vision seems banally utopian. Whatever goes on around us ridicules this utopia. Think about the African refugees for a moment – with their mobile phones, they run from their machete-wielding torturers only to drown just before reaching the European coast.
	
The future is not bright: it is an abyss, into which the whole world might fall. Instead of an international cooperation, there is a more and more violent competition for the access to natural resources; national and religious particularism destroys whole countries and societies; millions of people go into exile in search of a better life. The consumerist fulfilment of the wealthy North is akin to parasitism as it is based on the exploitation of cheap labour from the poor South. The smaller the wages of the Asian workers, the fuller the shelves in American and European supermarkets. The global economy is governed by the unpredictability of speculative stock trading, which can infect and slay any economy like an epidemic. Crisis has become a value in itself as the war on terror yields revenue to arms manufacturers and sustains whole divisions of contract mercenaries. Well-paid experts on management and extinction of economic and social fires travel from one continent to another. All around the world, temp agencies are doing well. Value lies in mobility, flexibility, temporariness. For something to be valuable, it must be in perpetual movement, as during military manoeuvres.
	
What remains constant and universal is the illusion that this state of affairs is only temporary. If a shadow of doubt arises, you just reach for the newest electronic gadgets that make you feel as if this progress were perpetual, pushing us all towards a better future. Maybe the truth about the inevitability of the looming demise will flash by like a TV commercial? As it appears, you just go to the kitchen to make yourself some coffee. And then you're back in front of the screen. The show goes on.

Mannequin is so happy to release under its wings one of the best talents in the minimal synth new scene that you better don’t miss.  
 
We are talking about the serbian duo Sixth June – Laslo Antal and Lidija Andonov – who are rising from the mostly unknown music scene in Belgrade but nowdays re-based in the analog paradise called Berlin.  
 
Sixth June started their musical adventure back in 2007 and in their tracks you can let your heart listen their deep influence for everything that has a synthesizer sound and found its origin in the Eighties; the duo represents perfectly the two sides of the same coin, in fact while Laslo is producing obscure but expressive, powerful and danceable textures, on the back side the voice of Lidija is living the shape to a wobbling atmosphere you won’t escape from. 
 
Their debut album “Everything”  released on Genetic Music’s side label No EBM Blanc had 
got an enormous positive feedback from  the Minimal Electronics-fans worldwidethey were 
playing live at BIM Belgian Fest 2010 in December 2010 togheter with Absolute Body 
Control, Portion Control, Twice A Man and many other amazing bands. 
 
Limited edition of 500 hand-numbered copies.

"Parallel Locations" ▲

Was I caught in your dreams ?
Did you find me there -
behind your door ,
behind your back ,
behind your mirror ?

Am I an object you observe?
Could you see me ? 
Could you ?

Was I caught in your dreams ?
Did you find me there -
being you ,
being me ,
being someone more ,
someone true ?

Am I an object you observe ?
Could you see me ?
Could you ?
Was I caught in your dreams ?
Did you find me there -
talking , crying , laughing ,
trying -
to find you !
Catch me !
This time ,
lie down and
catch me .﻿
