@cursesforever is known to mix his rock & roll roots with the darker side of disco, with influences from EBM, new wave, psychedelic synths and post-punk. On his show, he likes to invite guests who all pride themselves on their own unique interpretation of post-punk, 80s, electronic music, and encouraging them to explore their roots and get out of their club music comfort zone.

Nothing to Loose

Nothing To Loose

Phase Group continue their exploration of the fringes of contemporary electronic music with a release that brings together two separate projects born from analogue hardware improvisations. 

‘A Given Moment’ presents the dub-laden, mind-bending and noise-driven music of Brussels-based artist and Vastechoses label head Lostsoundbytes, and the lo-fi, early morning lysergic experiments of Lowspace, an unearthed, forgotten collaborative project by French DJ and musician Low Bat and Dresden-based producer Heninspace.

This is music that takes you deeper into the vortex, made for dark and smoke-enveloped clubs and cosmic day-break afterparty moments. On the A-side, Lostsoundbytes continues his prolific output of masterfully crafted bass-heavy and dub-wise analogue machine jams, while the B-side presents two lost psychotropic experimental recordings by Lowspace made in 2016 upon a visit by Low Bat to Heninspace’s Dresden studio.

Tracklisting: 
A1. Lostsoundbytes - In 1000 Years
A2. Lostsoundbytes - Fou De Croire
A3. Lostsoundbytes - Brain's Rewind 
B1. Lowspace - Sonntag Gibt Milchkaffee
B2. Lowspace - Dance For The Underwear Hour

'A Given Moment' will be out on Phase Group in December 2022

Lostsoundbytes / Lowspace - A Given Moment (Preview)

The mountain was calling out to them from up above, it were as if the peaks themselves were demanding that they be climbed and conquered so as there may be no stone left unturned by man. The clouds hovered thick around each pointed top, in the distance they watched as eagles soared high. It was easy for them, without such fear of falling.

The morning air was cold and brisk as they watched from the riverbank beneath, it seemed an awfully long way up and a very far way to go. Was it worth the risk? To who would their effort be worth?

Soon they would pack up and depart, taking with them all that they could carry. For it was right to leave no trace and heaven forbid they upset the whimsical power of the mountain to crush them beneath its might and weight at any time.

Gem Wallow is set to release a new EP on Barcelona based record label Playground . The record features a fun assortment of downtempo tracks with a pensive slow moving ambience which is almost ritualistic. It's rounded off by remixes from Simple Symnetry and Francis Inferno Orchestra.

PREMIERE: Gem Wallow - Zunzun (Francis Inferno Orchestra's Dero God Mix) [Playground Records]

Travelling through space, they looked out at what was below them. The planet was far away now and there was no guarantee that they might ever be able to return. Perhaps they were destined to live amongst the stars. They would become the aliens they once feared as they floated from realm to realm in the darkness.

There wasn't much light up here, nor sound but for the occasional chime or hum from the machine which propelled them onwards. Sometimes it were as if it was trying to communicate with them, perhaps to let them know that they were not all alone.

Terra Magica Rec. are set to release a record from Grischerr called 'Blue Gem Cavalcade'. It's a special, pensive collection of deep futuristic sounds paired with remixes from some stellar producers. The Heap remix was our pick of the bunch.

Unreleased DVS NME

DVS NME - Edge Cases

Handstamped 12" in a white disco sleeve.
To be released September 11th 2017.

A new recruit has been drafted into the Broken Dreams ranks. Retrograde Youth, also known as Felipe Marín, takes up his position with four tracks of tooth and nail electronics. His style is ensconced in EBM, but trying to pin him down is near impossible. Guttural techno aches through the clang of metal and the rattle of rhythms, wave lances in with spiking synth lines as lost samples stalk. Music for scarred psyches that will leave hearts and minds raw.

Squirrels On Film White Label 03 
TANS – The Unfaithful Husband EP


The next vinyl record from Squirrels On Film is a special edition white label by TANS. The Unfaithful Husband EP contains four filthy acid laced electric body movers from Southern Italy's Michelle Tansella. Michelle currently lives in Berlin where he makes industrial techno with his cousin Mike Tansella Jr as SONS OF TRADERS, & has released experimental cassettes on the UK's Seagrave label, but his roots go back to the Italian Hip Hop scene of the 80s & early 90s with a group called Zona 45.

Il Marito Infedele begins the EP & its tape saturated industrial throb evokes the best of that distinctive sound of underground European dance music whose thread runs through Italo Disco, Cold Wave & Acid House. A sinister groove for a giallo séance, the electric tom tom drums pound away against a murky bed of rhythmic fuzz, eventually surrendering to the four on the floor energy flash. The edges stay rough throughout, resulting in a delightfully dirty, unpolished funk.

Vera Vera combines the arpeggiated synthitic bass of classic Italo with late 80s Windy City Wax Trax & Acid. A snap of white noise snare squish keeps time until the WBMX beat hits. A proper atonal synth freakout squeals its way out of some primitive extra terrestrial party machine then the beat takes over again, emphasizing the low frequencies of the groove.

Growing Concern is where the tab kicks in all the way. Distorted 303, blown-out 707 complete with unapologetic cow bell take the body on a journey through a strobe light smoke machine sweat-drenched laser rave fantasy. It's a feeling of walls being brought down, and there doesn't seem to be any way back.

Missing Foundation is another lysergic banger, a drum machine drawing Fibonacci sequences in your brain as you transcend the grimy warehouse where you left your body. The timeless glow of consensual dancefloor utopia burns bright even when you close your eyes, the monochrome of this white label having exploded into technicolor pixels & smiling yellow faces repeating infinitely to the vanishing point of the imagination.

† Maturre † Discos Capablanca † I'm a Cliche's Edit Service † Sameheads

"Ólta Karawane are creating a halo of mystery. An alcoholic duo that once met each other waking up from a delirious state in front of a moscow liquor store. One lost his keys (along with his pants) the other his wallet (along with his jacket). But they still had some booze and when deciding what to do next they were ending up in the studio. Apparently there was a bunch of people digging what they did, so they released a bunch of edits for Maturre, I'm a Cliché and on Discos Capablanca. These guys are true punks, they’re not friends with anyone, nobody likes them, nor do they like anyone, no sympathy, no respect, just moscow street punk."
