Musumeci tapes reissue, with their brutal body music plus, similar to DAF, CHBB and Liaisons Dangereuses, was one of the most acclaimed in the Mannequin Records 2013 productions. So we really happy to unearth for you 3 more recordings from their discography, all recorded live in 1985. 

Mauro Massaglia, founder member and lead synthesizer, describes the band’s aesthetic as “simple music, no solos, new sounds, all played at maximum volume possible.” Something that surely catch the attention of best DJs on earth, starting from TRAXX, the Chicago-based head of Nation Records, who redesign for Mannequin Records a raw live version of 'Tag Fur Tag' with what he described as a "ugly-tape Kode".

Massaglia recalls Musumeci’s live shows as multimedia performances of a confrontational stripe, mixing rough sound collage with provocative visuals. “Our intention was to involve the viewer with two senses: ear and eye,” he remembers. “We loved stupid old black-and-white movies or war images, Berlin in the May of ’45, the Vietnam conflict, corrupt Italians involved into massacres or scandals… in short, all the shit that the human race can produce.”

MNQ 056 CASINO SHANGHAI - L'ACTION MINIMAL 12'' EP (IN AETERNAM VALE REMIX)

Mannequin Records is elated to present a 12’’ EP with two unreleased 1986 tracks of the mexican New Wave band Casino Shanghai, with a killer analog modular remix by In Aeternam Vale on the B Side.
Asking Laurent Prot to rework Casino Shanghai was more than logic. Permeated by a strong mitteleuropean dark pop atmosphere, here emphasized by the french lyrics (“Le Tombeau D'Edgar Poe" is using a poem by the french writer Stephane Mallarmé), Casino Shanghai were the pulse of Mexico City underground scene of the 80’s. The band was founded by Ulalume, Carlos Robledo and Walter Schmidt. Prior to Casino Shanghai, Ulalume was the lead singer of punk band The Casuals & DenseUndergrowth, and both Carlos and Walter were members of the post punk band Size and the more experimental Decibel.
Their first album "Film" for the Comrock/ WEA label was released in December of 1985.
Casino Shanghai was part of a great cultural change in Mexico and its music scene.

Void Vision is a Philadelphia-based electronic project helmed by Shari Vari. It began around 2009 at a time when a wave of synth-revivalists were materializing, but the quality of the songwriting and intense vocals set the band apart from the pack. In a rare instance, Void Vision has managed to combine vintage dance elements with melodic structures, haunting melancholy, and lyrics that have a palpable soul. The songs themselves are dynamic, referencing a cross-section of the last 30 years of electronic music, while simultaneously retaining a uniqueness all their own.

Wierd Records weekly club night in New York, which showcased a variety of talented electronic and coldwave artists, served as an incubator for Void Vision in it’s early stages. After a standout debut performance at the club, they immediately caught the attention of Blind Prophet Records, who consequently released their first 7″ single, ‘In 20 Years’, which received excellent reviews.

Vari has continued performing and recording steadily over the last few years, releasing songs on compilations for various labels, including Rough Trade, and in 2012 the song ‘Everything is Fine’ was selected for Artforum magazine’s ‘Best of 2012′ issue. In 2013, Void Vision toured the West Coast and later that year released a split 12″ with Portland-based band, Vice Device. The first official full-length album, entitled ‘Sub Rosa’ is set to debut on Berlin-based Mannequin Records, followed by a European tour in 2015.

Shari Vari formed Void Vision in 2009 originally as a duo, during the explosion of the new minimal synth and cold wave scene in United States. Sharing the same scene of the Wierd Records associates like Led Er Est, Martial Canterel, Xeno & Oaklander, Automelodi, in 2010 VV released ‘In Twenty Years’ on Blind Prophet (Sean Ragon’s Cult Of Youth record label), receiving also the attention of the Rough Trade dudes, who asked to put out a track for one of their synth wave compilations.
After other split vinyls, tapes and compilations, Mannequin approached Shari with the intention to continue what Wierd Records started, giving a proper shape to her beautiful and youthful dark electronic sound. The result is 10 hypnotic cold analog tracks dominated by the warm and fragile Shari’s voice, some more “pop orientated” some others belonging to the original “cold wave” atmosphere.

“Sub Rosa” is an edition of 400 copies on 160 gram black vinyl and 100 copies on 160 gram white vinyl.

Limited silskcreen hand numbered art edition for the first 50 copies, 160 gram white vinyl.

MNQ 057 The Actor - Exploded View LP / Cassette

We are really proud to announce the reissue of one of the most important Dutch Wave bands THE ACTOR, with their seminal 1982 tape "EXPLODED VIEW". "In the beginning of the eighties, a new phenomenon emerged: home taping. This way of recording resulted in a lot of noise. But that was less important then getting one’s music out to the public. A well known label for cassette bands in those days was the dutch Trumpett Tapes. They were the first to publish the music of The Actor, who became their top selling cassette band in 1982 and 1983. The Actor’s first release was Exploded View in 1982. The songs – sung both in English and German – often related to fashion, modernism, dancing and appearence. This made The Actor “quite fashionable."

LP Edition of 500 copies.
Tape Edition of 120 copies.

Limited silskcreen art edition for the first 50 copies, 160 gram white vinyl.

Remastered from the original tapes by Rude 66, The Netherlands, 2014.

From the Violence album, 'La somme de mes soifs' out on Ltd Edition 12" vinyl, cat. tonn042, on TONN Recordings Bandcamp.

In 2010 Julie-Morand Ferron and Éric Trottier formed one of the most exciting duos in the Canadian electronic music scene. As Violence they created a distinct sound that captured all of their energy and enthusiasm for the things they held dear in the world around them. Since their relationship formed as teenagers, they went on to become creative partners in a constant exchange of musical and artistic ideas. Sadly, Julie passed away in 2022. She left a rich legacy behind, both as a devoted mother and also in her work as an eminent scientist, published in prestigious scientific journals. In her work as a formidable performer, she created Violence's last album as a duo with her partner Éric.

OR_44 ≫ AM - Killing Is Lust (Remastered)

The old tapes of ART KINDER INDUSTRIE (EBM band founded in 1988 by the famous french producer David Carretta) were remastered by Eric Van Wonterghem (Prodam/Berlin) for the first time in Compact Disc edition on +Closer² (electronic sub-label of Unknown Pleasures Records) and which will be released at the same time in vinyl 12" EP on the Swiss label Lux Rec. More infos soon !

ART KINDER INDUSTRIE - Biographie

– 1987 : De retour à Tarbes(Sud-Ouest de la France), après deux années passées à La Rochelle pour ses études, le jeune David Carretta s’achète quelques synthétiseurs : 1 sequenceur, 1 sampler Mirage Ensoniq, 1 sampler Roland S550, des Pads électroniques Simmons, une table de mixage et un 8 pistes Fostex.
Rapidement il rencontre Xavier Vincent dans un magasin de disques et de vêtements underground, le seul de Tarbes. Tous les deux écoutent les mêmes styles de musique New Wave, EBM, Industriel, etc. et deviennent amis. Il y avait quelques groupes à Tarbes à l’époque, notamment Velours Noir pour lesquels David fera le son pendant un concert et enregistre quelques morceaux.

-1988 : Quelques mois plus tard, David et Xavier fondent Art Kinder Industrie. Ils achètent un Korg MS10 et un MS20, 1 Roland JP8000 avant de commencer à répéter et à composer des morceaux dans une ancienne discothèque abandonnée que possède le père d’un ami. Ils passent beaucoup de temps dans ce club désaffecté et du coup les deux jeunes musiciens et leur ami décident d’aménager et d’arranger un peu ce lieu. Ils ont l’idée d’en faire un club pour y passer la musique qu’ils aiment, étant donné qu’à Tarbes c’était un peu le désert de ce côté-là. Ce club s’appellera «Le Saint» et durera un peu plus d’un an. Ils créent eux-mêmes les affiches et les flyers. Ils prennent les platines, surtout Xavier. Un jour une mobylette prend feu devant le club, ambiance ZONE de l’époque. Puis ils sont obligés de quitter le lieu.

Mais les premiers tracks d’Art Kinder Industrie sont là et le style musical aussi, ils font leurs propres t-shirts et commencent à penser à une mise en scène pour leur premier concert dans le garage d’un copain. Ils porteront des uniformes militaires et des masques à gaz, non pas pour prôner la violence mais au contraire, pour dénoncer les dégâts de la guerre ainsi que la prolifération des armes nucléaires.A l’époque les gens feront l’amalgame et les traiteront de fascistes !Absurde! Ce public révolté ne devait pas comprendre le sens des paroles de leurs morceaux qui dénoncent les totalitarismes, l’oppression et le nucléaire. A la fin des années 80 cette petite bande d’amis s’amuse bien dans cette morne ville de Tarbes au climat souvent pluvieux du fait des Pyrénées toutes proches. Durant une courte période, un ami, Jérôme Vergez intègre le groupe mais David et Xavier retournent à Marseille
 

- 1990 : De retour à Marseille ils font la rencontre de Jacky Mandin propriétaire du magasin de disques Blitz. Ils ré-enregistrent les quatre premiers tracks avec du matériel prêté par un ami. A cette époque les deux amis déambulent dans Marseille, expérimentant la vraie zone, vers le Cours Julien. Ils vivent dans le quartier du Panier, à l’époque un coin dangereux, dans l’appartement de David qui fait office de studio.

-1991 : Ce sera l’année du premier concert à l’Espace Julien (salle de concert mythique marseillaise).Leur premier concert dans une vraie salle! Un ami rencontré à Marseille, Jean-Frederic Mouttet, sera embauché comme ingénieur du son pour ce live. Tenues militaires et masques a gaz sont de retour sur scène. Ce sera un excellent concert en compagnie de Bel Canto et Nocturnal East (Jacky Blitz & Eric Kartalian). Un autre concert aura lieu en 1991 à Toulouse en première partie de Norma Loy et une dernière prestation durant laquelle les deux membres du groupe jouerons dans la rue, installés sur un échafaudage.

- 1992   Dernier Concert au Théâtre du Moulin à Marseille et séparation définitive du groupe.
