KLASTÓS - REWORK EDITION
During this very particular year, Ginevra Nervi understood that one of the most important things to her and to her creative process is creating special connections with other artists from all over the world, and Klastós talks exactly about the connection between everyone and everything. 
The pandemic demonstrated perfectly, more than ever, how humans need to be connected to each other, how humans are not able to stay alone for long times and how this makes us vulnerable. We need to communicate and always interact with something new and different from our personal perspectives of things. 
In this “rework project” I see exactly what the concept represents. 

THE REWORKERS
Chevel said that reworking Ginevra's music came out quite fast and instinctive. He created a strong contrast between her vocal tones and his cold, synthetic and glossy sounds. It's something he always looks for when he produces, giving a contrast of feelings, whether it is with opposite layers or some kind of questions and answers between elements and melodies.

Gaslighting (Midori Hirano rework)

Finders Keepers presents this uber-rare soundtrack to a film that never existed, performed by an imaginery pop group. Incredible Polanski inspired German hip hop psychsploitation beats from 1968.

You couldn’t script it… You are nineteen minutes and twenty-two seconds in to your peak- season cruise around the Kraut-schlock peripheries. To say the trip has been an eventful one would be an understatement – you don’t know what to expect next and your 12” x 12” Germanic tour guide has proved quite unreliable thus far. As your diamond tipped vessel maneuvers through the grooves of your ninth horrific attraction (entitled The Soaked Body) the soundtrack awkwardly becomes background music and you are overcome with the sound of gushing water… ‘Help!’ you think sarcastically, the music, or is that muzak, is drowning!

This is the movie soundtrack to a film that never existed. This is the movie soundtrack by the band that was never requested. These were the sound library musicians who had to invent their own clients and imaginary cast, crew and plot to get their music heard, by a niche audience, before floating deep into the depths of the rare record reservoir gasping for breath.

To take a cinematic cue the record in question is the eurotrash pop equivalent of Jean Renoir’s tragic/triumphant Boudu character who as a homeless, confused and desolate down-and- out plunged to the depths to be unwillingly rescued, resuscitated then after gradually winning the hearts of an entire family becomes respected and revered as royalty. Over twenty years after the mad scientists, Dr. Horst and Ackermann, first breathed life into this short-lived beast, brave and intrepid vinyl explorers have sporadically returned to the doors of Dracula’s Music Cabinet to resurrect the sonic spooks and mutated melodies to share with nerds, mods, rockers, hip hoppers, psych nuts and Krautsiders alike. The lifeless corpses of The Vampires Of Dartmoore that lay six feet beneath the belly of the Eins Deutschmark bins has since crept through the record collections of the aforementioned social circles devouring continental currencies and demanding random ransoms of €250 plus, not to mention sweat, tears (of laughter) and a lot of blood.

No More, My Lord - from "Bad Karma"

Mix title: Cumbia Serrana

This mix comes directly from DJ Lizzy al Toque's (CVC Bay Area) collection.

"Cumbia Serrana is a humble ode to 60s & 70s cumbia peruana - soft and romantic, these cumbias blend sounds from rock, old westerns, musica andina y a veces musica amazonica. They'll make you dance, but they'll also make you want to lay in your bedroom and get nostalgic. I feel very lucky just to be able to hear these songs. These records can feel so unattainable and far away, and at the same time, they feel so close to me that they feel part of me. This is a sampling, like a small candy box of my favorite sweets. 

All songs in this mix are performed by Peruvian artists in the 60s & 70s - with the exception of track 6 which/who is Colombian and track 9, which is chicha might have been made in the early 80s." -DJ Lizzy al Toque
