UNKLE - Celestial Annihilation

Contort Yourself (extended by Phantom) by James Chance & The Contortions

Dark Entries and Honey Soundsystem have teamed up to release “Catholic”, the lost opus of disco pioneer Patrick Cowley and Indoor Life vocalist Jorge Socarras. Perhaps one of the most revolutionary and influential people in the cannon of disco music, Cowley created his own brand of Hi-NRG dance music coined "The San Francisco Sound." Born in Buffalo, NY on October 19, 1950, Patrick moved to San Francisco at the age of 21. He studied at the City College of San Francisco and met Jorge Socarras in 1973 through mutual friends. The duo’s first collaboration was a ten-minute trance like piece that Cowley composed for a performance piece by Socarras in 1975. Patrick, who played drums, guitar and keyboards, provided the perfect match for Jorge’s vocal talents. Between 1975 and 1977 they recorded an album’s worth of material before Socarras moved to London and Cowley started playing synthesizers for Sylvester. Upon Jorge’s return to San Francisco in 1979, the duo would re-record some of the “Catholic” songs with Patrick’s newly accumulated equipment. Meanwhile, Socarras met the musicians with whom he would form Indoor Life, and in 1980 Patrick co-produced their first album before the band relocated to New York in 1981. The “Catholic” album was offered to San Francisco’s Megatone Records who passed on it. Fast forward to 2007 when Honey Soundsystem was contacted by John Hedges, former co-owner of Megatone Records. Hedges’ was moving to Palm Springs and invited the crew over to his basement to collect over 2,000 records from his collection. Among the archives were three moldy boxes of quarter inch reel to reel tapes featuring unreleased music by Cowley, including the “Catholic” material. The reel was passed on to Stefan Goldmann of Macro Recordings in Berlin who tracked down Jorge Socarras to clear the rights, and released the album on CD in 2009. 

“Catholic” is a genre-bending concept album that ranges from minimalistic proto-techno to synth-driven post-punk, pre-dating the dance punk acts LCD Soundsystem and The Rapture by almost 30 years.  It shows a much broader range than any Cowley or Socarras material available and gives a totally new perspective to one of the most inspiring eras in music history. Influenced by Tomita, Wendy Carlos, the Velvet Underground and Roxy Music, “Catholic” fills in the gaps between these artists and preempts bands like Talking Heads, Units, The Human League or Chris & Cosey.  Patrick forges his unique electronic sound from his collection of synthesizers, modified guitars and self-constructed equipment while Jorge’s vocals go from hypnotic to camp, singing about gay love juju and tackling classics by Donovan and Stoller & Leiber.  


Featuring over 80 minutes of music, never before released on vinyl, this compilation contains two bonus tracks not on the CD. The tapes were meticulously restored by mastering guru Rashad Becker at D+M, in Berlin, then remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, CA.  The vinyl comes housed in a glossy dual pocket gatefold featuring the intended album cover from the original “Catholic” photo shoot in 1979 plus original hand-lettering by Arch Connelly aka A. Style for the first 45rpm single that never was. Inside the gatefold sleeve contains lyrics and an essay from Jorge Socarras. For the 32nd anniversary of Patrick's death, Dark Entries and Honey Soundsystem present a glimpse into the innovative minds of two geniuses. These recordings shine a new light on the experimental side of a disco legend who was taken too soon. All proceeds from “Catholic” will be donated to the San Francisco AIDS Housing Alliance.

Deux - Sex And Trouble

have you ever found your favorite toy broken old cracked
When you know you just got it handed to you in a waking dream bleeding over memories
fractured spilling their inks mixing chaos in my brain deleing parts of me
 a mirror reflective
Who was I suppose to be
I loved me
But I can't remember a me I even began with
A trauma core rip up dolls broken toys all over the floor
Needles and knifes covered in play fake blood play doe house basement door locked with rusted bolted locks to depths unknown in halls never walked or known to earth the cries of a million screams come rushing out at me when time breaks and light stands still in the darkness we pay while the light to you appears we are the children of fractured mirrors with Salvia Spirits
Will I ever be
Feel alive
Smile ever again
Will I spring to life today
Be someone
I thought I could never be
Trauma core Trauma Scorn
My blood runs cold
I wish I was never born
I wish I I would have never gotten this old
Even tho I push to end our lives
I need your heart to keep devouring LIFE 
Have you ever found your favorite toy,
Broken, old, cracked under childhood's ploy?
Handed in a waking dream, bleeding ink so deep,
Over memories fractured, secrets we can't keep.
Spilling chaos in my brain, deleting who I was,
Mirror reflective, shattered selves in the buzz.
Who was I supposed to be? Alters whisper low,
I loved me once, but now the fragments show.
Traumacore rip-up, dolls strewn on the floor,
Needles and knives in play-fake blood and more.
Play-Doh house with basement doors locked tight,
Rusted bolts hiding halls in endless night.
Cries of a million screams when time stands still,
In darkness we pay, light's a bitter pill.
Children of fractured mirrors, Salvia spirits call,
DID shards and BPD waves, we rise and fall.
Growing up with it, shadows twist and bend,
Identities splinter, no beginning, no end.
Borders blur in rage, love turns to fear,
Abuse echoes silent, but the pain is clear.
Will I ever be whole, feel alive in the storm?
Smile through the chaos, find a stable form?
Spring to life today, someone I never knew,
Traumacore scorn, but we're breaking through.
Blood runs cold in veins of forgotten youth,
Wish I never aged, never faced the truth.
Even as the alters push to end the fight,
I need your heart to devour the night.
DID veils and BPD fires entwine,
In the mirror's crack, our selves align.
Memories bleed, inks mix in the void's embrace,
Who am I now? In this traumacore space.
Traumacore echoes, toys and selves askew,
Mirrors reflective under a fractured blue.
Will I ever be... alive... smile... spring anew...
DID and BPD, we'll devour the rue.

Reasons to Be Cheerful, Pt. 3 (Originally Performed By Ian Dury & the Blockheads) [Full Vocal Version]

Dungeon Acid, bred in Gothenburg’s (Sweden) obscure music scene during the eighties and nineties, releases his second 7” on Höga Nord Rekords. Dog Acid and Sex Beat focuses on those remote corners where Jean-Louis Huhta have rooted his musicality. With legendary bands like Cortex, Anti Cimex and The Skull Defekts on his resume, Huhta is most definitely one of the most interesting artists in Sweden!
The music on this 7” breathes sex, concrete and dark seas. 
Dungeon Acid is the miner of your record crate – hard at work finding the nuggets in punk, rock and electro to develop the strict techno.
Listen to exclusive premiere of B-Side from release - "Sex Beat" here on 44,100Hz Towers.

300 copies on black vinyl.

LCD Soundsystem - I Used To (Facettes re-edit) (Free Download)

A cover song by @kelly-gilleran and I from Soft Cell's 1981 album 'Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret'. It's always been my favorite song by the duo and this was such great time exploring some of the details of this song. It was controversial at the time and is still surprising to be found on YouTube. Absolutely NSFW but highly recommended that you check it out if you don't have delicate sensibilities. The video version is quite different from the dance track but the video makes it worth it. Hope you like Kelly and my take on the track.
