All traxx take inspiration from the old speedcore & terror netlabels/groups from the turn of the century. Alot was raw, darker, cheaper & (stylewise) against the (more) commercial scene/sound. Which always inspired me. Hence my own cheap sound. BPM wise it was also more interesting for myself... 

Please note due to shitty authorities it wasn't played at location sadly... The police shut down our truck/sound just before my set. But atleast we had a good time. This was redone at home...

Big shout out to a few people who made this possible and helped in a way.
Martina, Seph, Arvid & Eva (for sounds), Marco & Martin (Un.Core.Bar) & Thorsten (the boss)... 

Remember... The Fuckparade is a protest not a party. 

Going from 280 to 360 BPM...
This one is titled: Schlagterror (Gegen Gentrifikation)

Pardonax - Fuckparade Act [14//09//2024]

Can the African National Congress renew and recover in the face of declining support from the electorate who are dissatisfied with rising poverty and a failure to address corruption.

The unfinished liberation struggle in South Africa

Mondli Makhanya is one of South Africa's leading editors. He began his career as a journalist in 1990, the year Nelson Mandela was released from prison after nearly 30 years of incarceration. This marked the end of apartheid in South Africa and the beginning of democratic changes in the country. However, until 1994, the threat of civil war in South Africa remained very real. Some people fought for equal rights and freedoms for the Black population, others clung to segregation and the dominance of racist ideologies, and some even dreamed of restoring the Zulu kingdom in these territories.

As a reporter, Mondli Makhanya documented the emergence of democratic South Africa. He had the opportunity to closely observe anti-apartheid activists who had once been his idols. However, up close, he realized that some of them were not as honest and virtuous as he had believed. Despite many challenges, compromises, and lengthy negotiations, South Africa elected its first Black president, Nelson Mandela, in 1994. Mandela focused his efforts on forging a unified nation from the diverse South African populace.

Over the following decades, Makhanya witnessed both the country's prosperity and its decline, as well as its return to prominence among Africa's leading nations. He describes Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine as aggression and is convinced that modern Russia is the complete antithesis of South Africa’s democratic values. Among the Russian war crimes, the abduction of Ukrainian children shocked him the most. His 2023 visit to Ukraine was met with mixed reactions back home, with some urging the journalist to visit Moscow and give the other side a platform as well.

Journalist Natalia Gumenyuk speaks with Mondli Makhanya about his childhood during apartheid, why South Africans feel nostalgic about the Soviet Union and how Russian propaganda exploits this, how Ukraine can share its story with the Global South, and how South Africans view Elon Musk, who is of South African origin.

2024, you biscuit. You kept me on my toes, china. It’s an ardent task, wrapping up twelve months of media. This is the tenth anniversary of #DiaryOfAMediaMonitor, and after a decade of headlines it’s time to shut the door and rummage through the splinters of what has been 2024.
The backdrop alone is terrifying, but we must start somewhere, even if it is in the darkness. Hundreds of illegal miners, still underground. Some of them are dying at #Stilfontein. They dragging their decomposing dead up a two kilometre drop from the darkness. There are children among them. #SlaveLabour and #Dezemba: what a way to end the year?

A long-overdue land recovery measure in South Africa sparks a blatantly racist reaction from the Trump White House. In Episode 269 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg breaks down how this imbroglio reveals the white supremacist backlash that informs the entire political project of Donald Trump and his tech-oligarch backers, collaborators and ideologues.
