Hebron, occupied Palestinian territories – On February 25 1994, a US-born Israeli military physician walked into the Ibrahimi mosque in Hebron armed with a Galil assault rifle. It was early morning during the holy month of Ramadan, and hundreds of Palestinians were crammed inside, bowed in prayer.

Baruch Goldstein, who had emigrated to Israel in 1983, lived in the Kiryat Arba settlement on the outskirts of the city. As worshippers kneeled, Goldstein opened fire. He reloaded at least once, continuing his barrage for as long as possible before finally being overpowered and eventually beaten to death. By the time he was stopped, 29 worshippers were killed, and more than a hundred had been injured.

The Israeli government immediately released a statement condemning the act and stating that Goldstein acted alone and was psychologically disturbed.

Twenty years later, Palestinians are carrying out memorial events and Hebron’s settlers are preparing celebratory pilgrimages to Goldstein’s shrine inside Kiryat Arba.

Muslims and Jews alike believe that the building houses the earthly remains of the religious patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca and Leah, and the complex is divided between Jewish and Muslim areas. 

The massacre was widely reported in the international media – but many Palestinians here continue believe that the full story has never been told.




The 29 people killed inside the mosque were not the only “martyrs” that day. Locals estimate the final number of deaths at between 50 and 70 – and an estimated 250 were injured over the course of the day. After the initial attack inside the mosque, more Palestinians were killed by the Israeli army during protests outside the mosque, outside Hebron’s Ahli hospital, and even in the local cemetery as the dead were being buried.

Some survivors of the massacre also report that they were shot by a second gunman inside the mosque, and claim that this was a planned attack of which the Israeli military was aware in advance. None here believe the official story of Goldstein acting entirely alone in a fit of madness.

The Israelis ordered 520 businesses to close overnight, and they remain shuttered to this day. Shuhaha Street, the main road through town, was later sealed off.

“The only way to be on this road is to be an Israeli or a foreigner,” said Al Jazeera’s Alan Fisher. “For Palestinians, this is a no-go area.”

NYX RITUAL LII - STATIQBLOOM LIVE

Our "Curse" podcast series has always been an inspirational offer for the listener, but at the end of every year we are inviting artists which inspired us to create this project. This time we are going to present two of them!

The first one is mighty Swarm Intelligence!

We are not talking too much about the artist. What you need to know is in the music, the poem and the note below.

NOTE:
"This mix is a collection of music that has accompanied me throughout the last year or so. Actually, I see it as less of a mix, and more a case of sitting down with a good friend and sharing the sounds that have excited and inspired me lately. Though I eat, sleep and breathe techno, my taste and interests run far wider. I hope this podcast gives the listener a sense of this, maybe even an idea of where my sound has its roots."

POEM:
"In the tapestry of slumber, the boundaries dissolve
Reality morphs into ethereal realms unknown
and Whispers of the moon guide thoughts to evolve
As I surrender to the muse that’s newly grown"

Curse 017 - Swarm Intelligence

Eighteenth and the last curse this year made by one of the biggest inspiration for our soul!

Nigh/T\mare is focused on a combination of cinematic bueauty and industiral mayhem! His style had a huge impact on this label, we are very greatfull to present his work here! 

POEM:
In the depths of your inner pain
Strangers are asking for guidance
Greedy the are and filthy
You are a witness of violence

Curse 18 - Nigh/T\mare

Link to Gravedigger:  https://ffm.to/mxmsgravedigger

MXMS is short for “Me and My Shadow" and is singer Ariel Levitan and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Dawson.   The self-produced duo from New York City and small-town Oklahoma creates funeral pop fusing classic melodic songwriting with dark unfiltered chaos driven by a thousand forms of fear.

“Gravedigger” is both a winter cry of sexual freedom and an macabre warning to future ill-intended suitors of Ariel.  Moving gracefully through a flow of grinding synthesizers and drum machines, Ariel reveals her story that twists from danger to desire with a dash of resentment singing:

Six deep swim with fish
floating on the river
You're going on a devil dance
do the Macarena
black on my eyes
and they cold as a cadaver
i'm immortal motherfucker
can't see me in the mirror
 
Using visual audio and cinematic foley, producer and keyboardist Jeremy Dawson weaves samples of fire, car crashes and electrical storms with crushed beats and oscillating bass to push the lyric into a viewable interpretation.   It’s a future forwarded peak hour low tempo banger with a dead-end result for the antagonist.
