What a beast. Didn't know hardcore could be such a banging, creative trip. Big release!

Working Title; a project in co-curation

In the postmodern world of today, the work of curators has become increasingly diverse. The job content has shifted from a simple model of guarding, keeping or acquiring a collection, to a compound model, adding the possibility of acquiring a semi celebrity status identity.

We are part of a generation that has spent their childhood growing up with an invisible third parent, the internet. We are able to discover music faster and easier than ever before. But even with all these options, an individual curator can never truly see the whole picture.

The idea for this project is simple and goes as follows;
Instead of curating artists ourselves, we will have others curate together. Our project can be seen as an exercise in joint curatorship. We have invited fourteen different collectives, labels and individuals who in their turn curated one artist.

Gabber Eleganza launches his label Never Sleep with Multo Crudo by London via Brazil & Russia producer Lizzitksy. The label is “an organic step after seeing the original Gabber Eleganza archival project grow into a multi-platform endeavour”, with a remit to showcase new and old artists that symbolise not just rave and post-rave culture, but a wider DIY aesthetic. 

Lizzitksy’s debut release draws from a disorientating suite of tropes - blasts of harsh noise, hollowed out sub-loaded kick drum barrages, digitised 90’s Italian Trance melodies, sped up reggaeton snare rushes & post-hard core vocal manipulation. Despite the range of elements in play, there is still a clear aesthetic red thread present - the rhythmic building blocks of the various genres referenced are sliced, distorted and re-arranged but never to such an extent that their dance-floor rending capabilities are compromised, whilst occasional flashes of melody and feedback laden shrieks help unravel each track. 

“Dark Millennium DJ Tool” deploys slowed down noise-charged kicks and ear piercing synthwork before switching into an 8-bar grime breakdown, whilst “Untitled EX4” takes the 150 BPM+ broken hardcore rhythmic template currently being established by the likes of Slickback and E-Sagglia and perforates it with howling feedback and Shackleton inspired percussive work. “Beef6” and “Bad Vein” melt power electronics fuelled drums into a post Latin-Perreo mis-en-scene – with “UMS303”  and “Video Green” providing moments of melodic introspection.

Nooit Meer Naar Huis and @conjunktival11 present you Kludde.

Kludde is a shapeshifting waterdemon from belgian folklore that walks on his hind legs and who jumps on to the backs of people wandering outside the city alone at night. When he catches you, you have to walk with him on your back until the first sunlight. Kludde often transforms himself into a tree, small and delicate at first, but rapidly shooting into the clouds, while everything it shadows is thrown into confusion. Again, he presents himself as a black dog, running on its hind-legs, with a chain round its throat; and will spring at the throat of the first person he meets, fling him to the ground, and vanish.

The physical release is in the form of limited edition boosterpacks with unique artworks for each artist. Inside the booster pack you will find 20 tracks and 18 depictions of Kludde. Now available on Bandcamp. Link in profile.
