[CD001] Queen of Bethnal Green [Remix] - Jason Fernandes

The first release on the label is inspired by a recent disruption in our lives. It is about the story of a woman who became known as the Queen of Bethnal Green. The EP is a social warning about the dangers of mephedrone abuse and the message is delivered in  techno  force.  The  music  wants  to  arouse  a  wake  up  call in  the  affected  area  of  East London  and  its new  generation  of  ravers.

Capital Xtra with Coco Cole - Violent Blondes Guest Mix

Violent Blondes are proud to present the second EP release on Civil Disobedience Records: 'Wait and See' from Mila Dietrich is forthcoming on 23 September 2016.

Sharing the label's ethos of freedom of expression for all artists and fostering a heavier female presence in electronic music production and Djing, Mila says "it was so logical that I wanted to take part in the Civil Disobedience adventure. It's a project that combines original techno music with a strong feminist political comment and I was immediately interested.”

Mila's approach for the EP centres around sexual repression and encourages women to take control of their journeys. 

‘Wait and See’ is a fearless expression of overt sexual interest and tension, followed up by 'Limbic System' which promotes the feeling of sexual liberation, the idealogical next step on in the tale of desire.

Wait and See

[TEASER CD002] Wait and See - Mila Dietrich

We are proud to present Mila Dietrich and her debut mix for Civil Disobedience. 

Mila takes her inspiration from cold wave, retro sounds, psyche sonorities, powerful techno vibes and some groove of old disco tunes. She tells psychedelic stories through her tracks, which are a combination of psyche techno, indie electro and acid house.

Sharing our label's ethos of freedom of expression for all artists and fostering a heavier female presence in electronic music production and Djing, Mila says "it was so logical that I wanted to take part in the Civil Disobedience adventure. It's a project that combines original techno music with a strong feminist political comment and I was immediately interested.  It is great to be engaged in a label which helps female producers, musicians and DJs become recognised outside their home studios.”

Puls Interview with Violent Blondes: How much penis stuck in pop?

Civil Disobedience’s third release, Entertaining The London Bubble, is our response to the current affairs occurring around us.  We’re living through a period of events, a period of time in the UK, that will be written into the history books.  London, our home, is a bubble in all this. Since Brexit, London especially has become a melting pot of high emotions and very different versions of events.  This EP is our personal stamp of acknowledgement and expression about what’s been happening.

We think many people will tell themselves they would prefer not to remember the events of 2016, however, history is so important, it’s powerful.  It’s how we educate one another, it’s how we learn from the past, and it’s why we felt compelled to create an EP which represents the atmosphere of the political climate racing through London right now.

Entertaining the London Bubble

[TEASER CD003] Entertaining The London Bubble - Violent Blondes

In the spirit of Christmas we're giving away a free download from Copilco straight out of Berlin. An exceptional example of deeply emotive Electronica. After his well received performance at Rollin' Rave for NYE 2017, it feels only natural to invite him to return to London and play at our event on Friday 2 February at Five Miles.

Copilco is back. With people in London still talking about that set from Rollin' Rave, Copilco turned the squat party inside out with his music. As the label's in house mix down engineer and dear confidant since day one, it wouldn't be our launch party without him. Sorry Berlin, he's ours next Friday.

"I come from a hardcore punkrock background, a scene that is very involved in social and political matters. Civil Disobedience is exactly the platform I’ve been missing in contemporary electronic music. The label’s message resonates with my beliefs and I’m glad to be part of the crew. Freedom of artistic expression, DIY culture and social responsibility are topics that I want to push as an artist. Our scene has so much more to offer than escapism. It’s a playground for new ideas and actions.”

CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE #2 - Copilco

Voices In My Head is a reaction to this, and an extension. We know the ego is forever trying to keep the past alive. It is never in the present. Without the past, who are you? But remaining only in the present is true freedom. Try to lose the voices in your head and focus on the now.

All  four  tracks  are  original  productions  from  Tommy  who  takes  us  on  a  fun,  adrenaline-fuelled,  reminiscent  journey  of  his  youth,  from  hang  out  to  hang  out,  in  Rush,  Dublin.

In Tommy's own words:

"Remaining Rogerstown is the part of Rush I'm from, Rogerstown. Whenever I'd    be bored or have cabin fever from sitting in my room all day making tracks I'd walk down the estuary listening to Aphex Twin or Autechre or the likes, one nice    summers evening Rogerstown estuary sun set is one of the best things you'll ever see, never mind the Bahamas."

Ros Eó

Remaining Rogerstown

[CD005] Remaining Rogerstown - Tommy Holohan

In Tommy's words: 

Growing up in Rush I never really had much to be at than wasting away days in my mates gaf’s watching stupid YouTube videos or having firework wars down the golf course but looking back on those days now, I've realised the impact it had subconsciously on my music so I decided to create four tracks based around four different places I'd of hung around.

'Martello'  the  opening  track  is  a  spot  we  would  of  had  to  walk  pretty  far  outside  of  Rush  to  get  to,  looking  back  on  it  now  it  just  brings  a  feeling  of  just  chilled  out  sunny  memories  but  putting  it  into  music  wanted  me  to  make  it  more  abstract  than  chilled  out.

All four tracks are original productions from Tommy who takes us on a fun, adrenaline-fuelled, reminiscent journey of his youth, from hang out to hang out, in Rush, Dublin.

This is Tommy’s first solo EP , something tells us it won’t be his last.

In Tommy's words:

'Seamos  Gaf  (Back  To  When  I  Wasn't  Born  Mix)' is  based  around  my  mate  seamo's  house  where  would  be  the  usual  hang  out  spot,  during  the  summer  we'd  have  barbecues  there  and  myself  and  Casey  would  normally  hog  the  tunes,  melting  the  guys  with  old R&S  mixes,  hence  why  this  is  heavily  inspired  by  old  school  R&S,  CJ Bolland  techno.  There's  even  a  little  sample  at  the  end  of  an  old  video  we  have  of  Casey  in  Seamos  gaf.

Civil Disobedience is quick to return with another four track EP of original productions delivered by the label founders themselves, Violent Blondes.  ‘Gaia’s Liberation’ unveils a more experimental and progressive side to Violent Blondes’ sound, with ‘One’ produced solely from the human voice using it as a synth to create an unnerving and bewitching prologue to the music which follows.

The tracks are induced by the ideas of the Mother goddess and exploring deepening spirituality in favour of archaic religious institutions in a hope societies will continue to become more balanced, especially those where inequality and oppression exist the most.  It’s Violent Blondes’ belief that societies need to undo the historical “rules” which constrain free thought, creativity and have played a huge part in making the role of women submissive, along with blacklisting other groups.  The EP’s intent is to liberate and empower the underdogs that such religious texts have outcast and make you think about our future as one society on this very weary but still ever so bountiful planet.

 In Violent Blondes’ signature style, they let the techno tell you the story of Gaia’s Liberation.

Civil Disobedience’s seventh and debut vinyl release welcomes polish artist, TAKA, to the family. TAKA presents 1610, an exceptionally personal and moving collection of music written and produced during a period of coming to terms with her father’s passing. In her own words, “I began to feel strong again when I was creating this music”. This is an EP where emotions of the darkest and lightest kind dance together. TAKA executes her story in rough and ready beats, quirky and randomised percussion, with intense and emotive leads progressing throughout each track. Entrusted to remix such precious material is TAKA’s friend, Gareth Wild, who has crafted a signature heavy duty techno destroyer of ‘Cry Cry’. ‘Cry Cry’ especially promises to leave its mark on listeners, its leading chords are a raw melodic masterpiece, underpinned with a pummelling bassline. This piece of music penetrates the soul, awakens the subconscious, and leaves you radiating with profound hope and knowing. Those who hear it do not forget it.
