Releases & Remixes

May 2019

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere "Novi Sad - M.S.K (Curses Dub)". The East London Noise Rock band invited Ombra International label boss Curses to remix their politically charged track "M.S.K", taken from their debut EP ‘Are You Ever Able?’ that was released earlier this year. Today we present Curses' Dub, an ultra-deviant EBM injected banger ready to tear the club up.

PREMIERE: Novi Sad - M.S.K (Curses Dub)

In sheer rapture, Riotvan hereby announces... Curses, the most classy and charming prince of darkness that contemporary dance music has to offer, is debuting on the label with a new release. 

We’ve seen him on remix duties for New Hook recently. Still, here we find him submitting two originals, crafted with his regular companion, Dame Bonnet, on the bass and showcasing a rather tender sentiment within the signore’s emotional spectrum. 'Premonitions' aligns bass-driven Postpunk-verve with blissful synths and an overall romantic tuning that Human League or Tears For Fears would’ve sold some close relatives to achieve. 

'Salvation', on the other hand, builds a somewhat meditative, almost IDM-like grounding, on top of which Curses practices a head-spinning Talkbox-exorcism.

Curses - Premonitions/Salvations

PREMIERE: Curses - Premonitions [RIOTVAN]

Curses presents 'Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX' will be out October 20th, 2023

Read all about it -> https://post-punk.com/listen-to-curses-club-primed-remix-of-nuovo-testamentos-heartbeat-the-next-wave-acid-punx-deux-compilation-tracklist/

Exclusive remix of Los Angeles and Bologna based Nuovo Testamento's Heartbeat by Curses himself! Taken from the band's 2023 album Love Lines, Heartbeat - in its original form a shimmering italo synth pop number, part Danceteria-era Madonna, part Yazoo - has been ruthlessly retooled here by Curses for strobe lit sweatboxes. Shifting the emphasis from its sparkling synths and pop melody towards the rhythm section, the track's synth bass now dominates the track just as its martial kick drums and gated snares push us deeper into EBM territory.

‘Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX’ is a return to the dark romantic of the past, present and future. An undying passion for all things post-punk/wave/body music and beyond. Release date: October 20th. 2023

Pre-Order

Curses - Streets Of NYC

Taking us on a sleazy, strobe lit tour of the darker corners of clubland Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX is the second compilation curated for Eskimo Recordings by Luca Venezia, aka Curses. Threading the needle between early industrial, EBM, post-punk experiments and some of the most exciting music being made today, the 49 track compilation also features some of Luca's own exclusive remixes such as his 'Revamp' of New Beat classic J.W.B. Hits The Beat's 'Body On Body'.

Originally released back in 1987, Curses' remix brings the track right up date, pushing the tempo and toughening up the drums whilst stripping it back down to focus on the portentous choral synth pads and teasing us with its ecstatic vocal samples before the effervescent Italo melody brings it all together. A perfect synthesis of past and present, much like the compilation it's taken from.

* MIXED BY:  https://boltingbits.com/mixed-by-skatebard/

Norwegian veteran Skatebård is a non-conformist. Throughout his impressive career, he has steadily carved out his own corner of dance music with a unique flair. Traversing a range of seemingly disparate genres and emotions comes incredibly naturally to the Norwegian artist, whose music oscillates between Italo disco and raw Detroit infused house and techno. With an enviably eclectic collection of the mastery to navigate it seamlessly, Skatebård’s DJ sets offer exploratory excursions through the unknown and unexpected. From festival mainstages to intimate clubnights, Skatebård has captivated audiences across the globe, performing at many of electronic music’s most revered institutions. 

The dynamic scope of Skatebård’s artistry extends to his work in the studio. Spanning over decade, his impressive discography is dispersed across labels including his own Digitalo Enterprises, Sex Tags Mania, Bordello A Parigi, Luna Flicks, and Radius Records among others. With a knack for balancing kitsch with elegance, Skatebård creates music that exudes an air of nonchalant fun. 

We are delighted welcome Skatebård to our MIXED BY/ series for an exclusive trip into the depths of his sonic universe. Recorded live at February’s Igloofest in Montreal and mastered by @landr_music, Skatebård’s set embodies everything we love about the artist. Infectiously energetic and straight up a tonne of fun; dive in and enjoy.

Timothy Clerkin - Unborn
Out 24th May 2019

Label linchpin @timothyclerkin returns to Ransom Note Records with the 'Unborn' EP, home to four brand spanking new rave bangers!

The first track to be unleashed is ‘Primary Function’, which sounds like a dubbed-out Boards of Canada on a particularly warped mushroom trip.

Timothy’s music has brought us many special moments over the past few summers and seems bound to do so again, with the new EP already getting played by the likes of Optimo, Lena Willikens and Andrew Weatherall.

After cutting his teeth as one half of Eskimo Twins, Clerkin launched his solo career in 2014 under the now-retired Heretic moniker. Having released on labels including Throne of Blood, Hard Fist and Tusk Wax, he’s since graduated to running his own Insult To Injury imprint from his new base in Amsterdam.

TOB PODCAST #083: JUSTIN ROBERTSON

Celebrating 10 years of inspirational road trips through musical landscapes, Last Gas Station aka La.Ga.Sta. invited some of their most beloved artists and producers, who have grown part of the LAGASTA family over the years, to cover one of their all time favourite tracks for the anniversary compilation. The outcome is a fusion of different decades and music styles, ranging from George Michael to Siouxsie, and from Pet Shop Boys over to The The and Blood Orange.

We have the pleasure of streaming the contribution of Luca Venezia, better known by most as Curses. As part of the Ombra International family, and maintaining a steady string of releases on Dischi Autunno, Wrong Era and Bordello A Parigi, Curses offers an ethereal take on his favourite The The song with his signature style and aesthetic.

This Is The Curse

Premiere: Curses - This Is The Day [La.Ga.Sta.]

Infamous Hungarian party promoters, Secret Factory invites @Occam to take care of the second release on their Secret Fusion label with three remixes from Curses (@Cursesforever), La Mano and the label owners themselves providing a Secret factory remix.

Occam is a life-long drummer who has been in various bands and involved with making plenty of albums. He has played clubs and festivals from the UK to Russia and has been part of BBE artist DJ Bootsie’s live act for more than a decade. His compelling original here is ‘The Dark Slide,’ a driving bit of late night dark disco that comes with colourful melodies. A bold lead synth line goes ever higher while elastic drums get your body moving. It’s a track to step things up in the middle of the set and will do so with real style.

Berlin-based New Yorker Curses is known for blending rock & roll with the darker side of disco, his own ghostly vocals and guitar with flashes of EBM and post-punk. Here he layers in edgy chords and prickly drums that are driven by slapping hits. It’s raw and energetic with subtle 80s vibes that make it all the more standout.

Release date: 03/06/2019
