Premiere: NAUFRAGI - Mongo [Ombra International]

The mid-70s was tough time for New York. The city's reputation for crime and disorder still very much a part of residents daily lives - with then Mayor, Ed Koch repeatedly warning that the ‘dirt, crime, and racial tension continued to weaken the once great city’. 

The illegal drug trade flourished, causing a soaring murder rate, and dividing the city into areas ruled by different drug lords. The NYC Subway fell victim to a crime epidemic that saw more crimes being committed on the subway each year than in any other subway system in the world. Landlords would burn tenant buildings for insurance money – displacing hundreds of people.

Between 1970 and 1980, 40% of the South Bronx had been burned down or abandoned. 

From these ashes, NYC spawned and supported the birth of Disco, Hip Hop, Post Punk & New Wave. 

Here’s a love letter to those critical years - by no means a definitive list, but a collage of genres, loosely hanging together with the help of some tape delay. 

Musical nods to the people that drove this creativity; Afrika Bambaataa, Kool Herc, Larry Levan, François Kevorkian, Tee Scott, David Mancuso, John ‘Jelly Bean’ Benitez, Boyd Jarvis, Tony Humphries and artists like Keith Haring and Andy Warhol and the avant garde, art rock and self-proclaimed ‘freaks, dropouts and wackos’: Konk, Talking Heads, Pylon, Chic, The Ramones, Patti Smith, Liquid Liquid, Blondie & Suicide. 

This collective ‘sound’ would bleed out into the ether, through clubs and radio, out to Chicago and Detroit and ultimately, the world; Disco would mutate into House, Rap’s ‘five elements’ would settle into Hip-Hop and the low-fi, outsider aesthetic of Post-Punk & New Wave would continue to inspire the best of bands. Both then and now. 

Put together lovingly with two 1210’s, a two channel mixer and a space echo – here’s a snapshot of NYC 1978 – 1986 (mistakes and all).

NYC - A Love Letter [1978 - 1986]

Being in the spotlight came with its fair share of setbacks and unavoidable situations. Your whole life was out there for the world to see; nothing remained secret, everything was in the public eye to be reshaped and fabricated as people saw fit. You were naked, on display, without control over your every move and motive. In the end, was the fame really worth it, now that your last chance at anonymity had been snatched away.

One of our favourite London parties Snap, Crackle & Pop gear up for the next release on their eponymous label arm. An extension of the sounds, and the artists, you'll hear in the dark, sweaty clubs where they host their parties, the next release comes from Berlin-based artists Local Suicide & Skelesys. A sonic match made in heaven, the duo and producer link up for an EP driven by pulsing electro, techno and EBM, which is bolstered by two remixes from another two SC&P favourites Autumns and The KVB.

Local Suicide and Skelesys join forces for the 9th release on London clubnight and record label, Snap, Crackle & Pop, delivering a throbbing, hypnotic dive into the darkest recesses of electro and techno. A hard-hitting remix from Autumns provides a more club driven assault on title track You are Mine whilst The KVB glide through a new-beat influenced take on Naked and Confused.

Of the release, Local Suicide sum up the chance writing process with Skelesys: "The second time we ever met up with Skelesys was a few years ago at a party at Griessmuehle. After the party - although we hardly knew each other - slightly intoxicated we decided to come back to ours and make a track. The story of Frankenstein as a dream girl was born, You Are Mine.
The second track was created after a Sunday afternoon at Berghain. There was a power cut that lasted pretty long and everyone was Naked & Confused.
Built To Fail is one of the last tracks we created together. It’s about living in Berlin, not fitting into the notion of what successful or normal people are supposed to be like, but not giving a damn.
Making music with Skelesys is always so much fun and effortless. We share the same vision and music taste and when we’re together in the studio everything makes sense."
