“You are dying. I see in you all the characteristic stigma of decay. I can prove to you that your great wealth and your great poverty, your capitalism and your socialism, your wars and your revolutions, your atheism and your ­pessimism and your cynicism, your immorality, your broken-down marriages, your birth-control, that is bleeding you from the bottom and killing you off at the top in your brains — I can prove to you that those were characteristic marks of the dying ages of ancient States — Alexandria and Greece and neurotic Rome.”

Oswald Spengler, The Decline of the West

We're proud to present Accidental Business, a long-term project strewn with pitfalls and disillusions nodding to the incongruous events that led to the birth of Unknown Precept. Looking back at what made our trademark for the past 8 years, this new compilation marks a turning point in our discography. Scanning out the dustiest corners of the label's bizarre roster to offer a complete look at Unknown Precept's soul and vision; it brings together 18 tracks of unreleased material and collaborations recorded by our closest friends. From slow-paced post-punk hitting hard as bricks to short-circuited noise that makes the power supply trip, not to mention our love for the grotesque and self-mockery via humorous wonky synthpunk and bad tempered body music cracking jokes at a ghost audience. This is what you get when a group of people that have no clue what they're doing get together. Into the unknown we sink, but where to find us next?

Tape Loops Vol.1 started in 2020 when the São Paulo-based artist Paula Rebellato, co-founder of the genre-bending group Rakta, sat down to listen to some tapes at home.

Her first movement to loop fragments of a tape through a Boss DD7 pedal happened out of curiosity, not knowing exactly which sound she was looking for. From this on, her desire started to take shape, and decisions were made: to compose songs using various loops of two possible antagonistic artists/bands to unleash new music horizons.

The idea of looping and editing pre-existing sounds, finding the right tones and fragments that could work together, and mix them into a new composition came with great excitement and, eventually, as a very laborious process which she was more than willing to dive in.

Juxtaposing compositions by artists like Jah Wobble & Holger Czukay, Pink Floyd, Mike Oldfield, Hide, Led Zeppelin, Le Mystère Des Voix Bulgares, Deafkids, and Fronte Violeta, this record is about resignification through time, space, layers, and repetition inviting the listener to a journey of nuances through its 4 authorial jams and a remix by the power-electronics duo Os Fita, from Rio de Janeiro.

This is the initial episode of a release in 2 parts. The first one signed with Paula's forename as part of a process of reaffirming herself as an artist, in which her name emerges as a statement of multiple interests in sounds, genres, musical paths, and research.

Paula Rebellato - "Tape Loops Vol. 1" (snippets)

Dirk Wiertz is a dj & producer from Amsterdam, combining best of both worlds working in Amsterdams finest recordstore Concerto, making music & collecting records.
After hearing Newcleus’ Computer Age as a kid in the late 80’s he was hooked on electro music at a very young age.
Starting out with a Roland MC303 making electro tracks was all he would do, but soon many more drummachines & synthesizers filled his studio.
Now more inspired by the likes of Drexciya, Anthony Rother and many others he started developing his style and started podcasting monthly mixes with his electro faves.
Lately his track “Texel” was released on LBR records in March this year, delivering a blistering electro cut, followed by his debut EP “Grounded” on Cyberdomain records, released on cassette tape, which gained the support of Dark Science Electro, Jonny Moy and Dave Clarke.
“ It lends the hard-driving bass-lines muscular tension and elastic bounce. Combined with kinetic rhythms and drumbreaks, Wiertz delivers an on-point and low-end driven techno full of thrilling surprises.”

========================================================

Dirk Wiertz - диджей, продюсер и коллекционер виниловых пластинок из Амстердама, известен своей работой в лучшем музыкальном магазине Амстердама Concerto.
После того, как в конце 80-х в в детстве он услышал «Computer Age» Newcleus, Дирк увлекся электронной музыкой. Начав с Roland MC303, он создавал электро-треки, но вскоре его студия заполнилась гораздо большим количеством драм-машин и синтезаторов. Вдохновленный такими уже классическими исполнителями, как Drexciya, Anthony Rother и многими другими, он начал развивать свой стиль и запустил ежемесячный подкаст.
В марте этого года трек «Texel» был выпущен на лейбле LBR Records, за которым последовал его дебютный мини-альбом «Gounded» на Cyberdomain Records, выпущенный на кассете, который получил поддержку от Dark Science Electro, Jonny Moy и Dave Clarke.
