curator Alexander Pehlemann: "Bad Schandau, located near Dresden on the Elbe, was the GDR border crossing station en route to Hungary by train. On the return journey, Bad Schandau often proved to be a bottleneck, when guards confiscated Western records purchased in Budapest, a place of longing regarding subcultural products, because of suspected anti-socialist content.
Naming a project like an express train speeding between places and times as cultural transfer, connecting the sounds of the 1980s with those of today, after that (non-)place was obvious, primarily because the Hungarian post-punk band A. E. Bizottság immortalized Bad Schandau in a song, albeit with an additional “a.” Their LP Jégkrémbalett, released in 1984 on Hungarian state label Start and on which “Ba(a)d Schandau” can be found, was the departure point of the idea to create "Art Pop Tribute" cover versions.

CIARKI 079 with RESIDENTS

Third set recorded during our short permanence 'AGRTH' at La Galleria Delle Arti in Rome by @giulio-ruzzo as CASAMATTA. A combination of dark scenarios, tribalistic textures and heavy raw percussions evoking a dub industrial world where ritual is run by machines.

2. River's Edge (UVB-76)

In early 2012, a couple of white labels appeared from a mysterious new act from Manchester who called themselves Akkord. But the duo's carefully-fashioned cloak of anonymity didn't last for long. Soon people started talking that Akkord were, in fact, local DJs and producers Liam Blackburn aka Indigo and Joe McBride aka Synkro.

It's not like Indigo and Synkro haven't worked together before. Both started in dubstep's glory days and their collaborative works came out on labels such as Smokin' Sessions, On The Edge, Mindset and Exit Records. But in Akkord's music Liam and Joe decided to escape from the melodic stuff they've done as Synkro and Indigo and entered the territory of dark, even sinister, soundscapes and subtle metallic rhythms. As Synkro said: "...Akkord opened me up to a lot of stuff that I had overlooked. I got obsessed with dark ambient and drone, people like Emptyset and the Haxan Cloak; I got into Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV. Going through all the industrial raw stuff I missed out on previously. That’s all rubbed off onto my Synkro work a bit — that doomier, melancholy vibe.”

The story that began with a couple of white labels continued at London record label Hounsdstooth, a spin-off from the influential venue/label operation Fabric, which released almost ten of their releases, including debut album. Unfortunately, it is almost 4 years since their last collaborative record and now guys are focusing more on their solo projects. But anyway, even if we never hear new tracks from Synkro and Indigo under this moniker again, Akkord will always remain one of the most exciting things in electronic music of the last decade.

Here's my mix of all their tunes from 2012 to 2017.

Music digger, fanatical record collector, fan of low frequencies and dub echoes.  Unlimited by genres, he can reach for ambient-downtempo sounds as well as fast, jungle/hardcore arrangements.  His favorite tempo, however, remains 140bpm, in which he combines experimental bass, dubstep, future garage or break with more danceable genres such as uk garage, uk bass or techno.
