Media Roots Radio on Psychedelics:

Episode 2: How Raves Brought Back the Psychedelic Subculture, DanceSafe, Pill Tests & the DEA vs MDMA

Robbie and Abby Martin discuss the resurgence of psychedelics in the 80s through underground raves. Unregulated warehouse parties featured the revival of psychedelics like LSD and the arrival of MDMA and ecstasy during the era of Regan's 'War on Drugs.' Out of this subculture came DanceSafe, which administered the safe testing of ecstasy pills, and a new government fear campaign. Featuring exclusive insight from DanceSafe founder Emanuel Sferios about the suspicious flooding of the ecstasy market with DXM to help paint MDMA as a dangerous drug that melts brains.

Ep 2: How Raves Brought Back the Psychedelic Subculture, DanceSafe, Pill Tests & the DEA vs MDMA

A special blend of older and newer songs that bring you into the atmosphere of what has in my humble opinion been the most significant and future-shaping decade in musical history: the eighties. 
Thanks to the digital era, lots of hard-to-find music from back then has now been made available for purchase, and this mix contains some stuff that had never even been released on anything else than a cassette.
It’s not intended for the dance floor, and certainly not as background music. Rather theatrical and poetic, it’s best enjoyed with a magnificent sunset or a spectacular thunderstorm, along with a glass of "1431 Chateau Dracul".
Enjoy :-)

Femmes Aux Yeux D'Argile (July 2022)

Watching shadows creep up the walls,
of these empty rooms.
The telephone is screaming, 
Can’t get back to you, it's much too soon.
My nightmares fled, I closed my eyes
When I woke up I was God
Running from these shadows
I must escape inside my mind.

Climactic Nouveau
Fading away
I can control
Climactic Nouveau
Fading away
Like nothings wrong

Following tracks in the snow, 
Following silent shadows alone
Climactic Nouveau

Following tracks in the snow
Lost in a forest unknown 
Climactic Nouveau

Trapped inside these lives just like everybody else
So why can’t I recognize myself
My mind shelters me from what I don’t know
Reflecting harmful elements back from where they came

Climactic Nouveau
Fading away I can control
Climactic Nouveau 
Fading away I can resolve 
Climactic Nouveau
Fading away I can be strong
Climactic Nouveau
Fading away I can control 
Climactic Nouveau
Fading away I can’t go on
Climactic Nouveau
Fading away like nothings wrong

Live at Mod 80's Disco in Oakland, CA 12/1/23

7" VINYL LIMITED TO 35 COPIES

A - Damages
B - The Storm

The record comes in a special edition of 35 transparent vinyls with a laser cut and screen printed ultra black cover (Fedrigoni 480 gr.). 

After her previous noteworthy projects Phosphor and Minuit Machine, Hélène de Thoury offers, through her first solo project, a cold and synthetic music mixing nagging cold wave and striking electronics. 
« Her Fall And Rise » depicts these moments in life when you swing between dark melancholia and bright hope. The EP spreads all its complexity through 7 tracks and a limited edition vinyl, offered as a real art object with several interpretations. 

'The Storm' music video directed by Jeremy Carne & Nikolas Kasinos (http://theouroboros.co.uk). 

• http://vimeo.com/111617103 • 

Inspired by the dark tones of 'The Storm', directors transcribe a dystopian world parallel to our own, where strange characters appear overnight and own the streets. The characters seem to be observed by someone, they look him and seem to recognize him, but they stay apathetic and intrigued by his presence. 
The director duo 'Ouroboros' plays on the confusion of meaning and disorientation that occurs at night, by suggesting the appearance of beings in unreal appearance. In the form of a dark poetry, they plunge us into a fantasy world populated by demons who haunt us at night, those who come from the past and particularly from our childhood, those who make us believe that we are not alone at night.
