Pour ce numéro 148, nous avons l'honneur de recevoir pour ce dernier Foutoir de la saison, quelqu'un que l'on ne présente pas : @cursesforever ! Luca Venezia de son vrai nom est un dj et producteur américain basé à Berlin, il y a maintenant plus d'une dizaine d'années qui a su se réinventer et est aller puiser dans ses influences passées à savoir le punk et l'électronique des années 80. De ce savant mélange en est sorti la Next Wave Acid Punx, terme qu'il utilisé pour ses superbes compilations sorties chez Eskimo Records. Est-ce un style ?

Curses | Foutoir Moderne #148

Some words by Belaria:

"This mix explores the rich tapestry of women's voices across generations, weaving together melodies that resonate with both the past and the present. Drawing inspiration from the iconic singers of the 70s/80s such as Judie Tzuke, D.Dee Jackson, and Tiziana Rivale, as well as contemporary artists like Void Vision, Zanias, and Jolisa, this mix is a tribute to their talent and influence on my music tastes. Throughout this hour, you'll hear a fusion of contemporary tracks, beloved classics, and innovative remixes. Each song is carefully curated to blend the nostalgia of yesteryear with the freshness of today's music scene, creating a dynamic journey through sound and time."

BIO

Sissies of Mercy is the back-to-back collaboration between longtime best-friends sam & austen. Born out of their love for dancing together, their sound as a duo balances playful nostalgia and raunchy darkness to command a sweaty dancefloor.  Weaving together diva-fueled house, sparkly 80's pop, nasty acid, and cheeky electro, Sissies' sets create shared moments of freedom and transcendent joy fueled by love and light. 

Between their residency at Gabriela, frequent sets at Brooklyn institutions such as Paragon, House of Yes, Bossa Nova Civic club, and at least one gig basically everywhere else, Sissies are forging a path for TS world (nyc) domination.

BIO

Italian dj raised in the outskirts of Geneva, Pastram steps out under the banner of Cruel Machine Booking. Distinctly drawn towards dark atmospheres, Pastram developed a strong focus on raw rhythmics, assuming an intense form of communication where cathartic echoes and cold synths become intricate. An intense musical fusion of the past and the present transcending the line between body music, grinding post punk, industrial, and wave.

Pastram Guest Mix for Mechanical Breakdown on KEXP

Another track pulled out of the drawers.
Been shaping this one since a walk in Jotunheimen.
Dark, minimal, Nordic techno with whispers of mountains and shadows.

Not perfect, but it’s real.
Hope you enjoy it.

Witch of Jötnir - (From the Vault)

Meu primeiro remix oficial foi para a Mother Funker, lá atrás, quando eu ainda estava começando essa jornada, e fui abençoado com a oportunidade de remixar duas das minhas maiores referências no psytrance.

Desde então, sempre tive um carinho especial por ele — mas também sabia que merecia uma nova vida. 

Depois de 5 anos, decidi revisitar essa track e trazer uma versão repaginada, que reflete quem eu sou hoje como artista. Uma mistura de nostalgia e evolução, do passado pro presente.

AND PUT THE FUCKING MUSIC BACK UP!
