BLACK LODGE RELEASES: VINYL/TAPES/DIGITAL

2 hour arkive of our broadcast on Sunday, Juneteenth 2022. A special 2 hour take over by the Chicago visionary himself, TRAXX, entitled “Wild Demographix +_+_”. Once again, Traxx defies all definitions and boundaries, presenting a new facet of his multiple identities - this time transporting us to an apocalyptic world of post punk, no wave, and mutant electronics, sharing again the width and breadth of his musical knowledge and capabilities. A time when art and politics were one and the same and rooted in revolution. Enjoy the madness 🚀🚀🚀

Ep Name »   Rubber Mountain LP

Label » The Black Lodge - https://soundcloud.com/theblacklodgela

Los Angeles, California

Format:  ViNYL + Digital Album 

Release date: April 7th, 2023

BUY >>> USA - https://blacklodge.bandcamp.com/album/bl007-rubber-mountain-lp

EU - https://clone.nl/item72387.html

6 track full album LP by Fashion Flesh aka John Talaga from Michigan. He is known for his “off the grid” approach to music and has solo releases on great labels such as Unknown Precept, Jacktone and Fit/Est. 83’ Records.

Most all of the instruments used to perform and produce are self-built electronics, oscillators, generators, sound toys, and modulators. Those that are not built from one's own design are heavily modified beyond audible recognition or return. No sampling/stolen sound is ever used or sucked from outside pre-existing sources. 

No laptops, instead tape manipulation and hard copy cut-ups...analog devices that are built for specific purpose and dis-purpose.

"Rubber Mountain" is Fashion Flesh's first full LP and the first solo album we've released on Black Lodge. 6 tracks of mutant mayhem, spanning from odd italo-disco flavors, to no-wave, post-punk, jakbeat, and experimental sounds from the beyond. 

Equally for the dance floor and home listening, this record has it all. Also a visual artist, this release is housed in a full color double-sided jacket with art created by John Talaga himself.

Label » The Black Lodge - https://soundcloud.com/theblacklodgela

As we approach the threshold leading us back to the Black Lodge on our transformative 8th journey, we are escorted through and beyond the mystical portal by the vigorous and fierce forces of Sneaker. Portrait in House is a collection of 3 resonant works, which are unified into a singular vision within its uncanny language that is rooted deeply in the foundations of Jak, New Beat, EBM, and Wave. Existing inside the liminal spaces of where light meets dark, we are presented with a documentation of dissonance and harmony. 

We begin our voyage with Jihad, a sluggish and slogging piece that unforgivingly drags us through the grime and the dirt in a ritualistic fashion that would have the ghost of Georges Bataille dancing in circles. Voices call out and howl into the dark as the drum patterns of the 707 rhythmically grasps onto its anarchic components. In the dark, we can see the light beyond the known universe. In the words of Sneaker “The name is not our message, but a document of an evident, traditional concept in (y)our world.”

As we find ourselves sprawled out on the ground following the 1st sonic stanza, a menacing voice bellows and warns that this is a Sax Track. Referencing Chicago icon Lil Louis, this work juxtaposes classical elements of house music together with the bare knuckled spirit of Jak. A magical spell led by disharmonious Portasound FM keys in conversation with a teetering sub bass, where at its core, this plus this, equals something that is uniquely familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. A number fit for any uncanny ritual that will fall under the night sky. 

Bringing our cosmic procession to a close we pick up the pace with a commanding number titled, Dance On, a no holds barred work that will possess your soul in the name of Jak. Flangers wail unforgivingly alongside a pulsating 101, as samples of the human voice are chopped up and arranged into a conversation that hypnotically calls for our bodies to be transformed into soft machines, while powered by ceremonious motions that are generated from the liberating process of ritual movement. We command you to dance!

BL Radio EP 124: MIKE TANSELLA JR. - "Shut It Down" Mix

This compilation unites music from Mutant Radio’s friends and residents, with all proceeds directly supporting political prisoners, their families, and activists across different regions of Georgia. The struggle continues until every political prisoner is freed and new elections take place.

Whether on the streets, in our space, or through the airwaves, we remain firmly alongside the movement. Without true freedom, creativity is silenced, culture fades, and Mutant Radio cannot exist.

We extend our gratitude to our friends and residents for their unwavering support and for sharing their music in these challenging times for Georgia.

Special thanks to TBZ and Alex Michalski for their invaluable contribution to mastering.

Highlighting a track from the new BiGOTT EP by BL family SNEAKER & SCANNOIR. We recently played "7 Minuten" on BL Radio Episode 131 by Kosmik, and it's a certified banger/mind melter! After their previous releases as 1⁄2GOTT and GOTT on Uncanny Valley and some remixes, the duo returns with a third solo EP, marking their first appearance on the Berlin-Basel-based label Reach Another System. Their passion for EBM, Synth Pop, and New Beat comes to life with a fine array of classic drum machines and FM-synths, topped with Teutonic lyrics and archival samples.

BL Radio EP 134: GAY FELONY

Our next podcast offering to the ever-hungry Lodge spirits comes from legendary Chicago sonic warlock, Justin Aulis Long. Justin has been a staple in the Midwest electronic music scene since the early 90's, borne from the fires of the infamous Medusa's on Sheffield. His technique and musical language have positioned him as one of Chicago's legendary selectors. Together with Eris Drew, Sevron and Sold, he is a founding member of the Hugo Ball gatherings that take place at Smartbar Chicago, where he is also the senior resident. Together with Ken Zawacki, Long is also one half of Circling Vultures, a techno-punk outfit with releases on respected labels such as L.I.E.S., Contort Yourself, Secret Studio, and later this year on our own Black Lodge label. A true chaos magician, Homeric poet, alchemist and visual artist. We are honored to share this podcast inspired by our recent Samhain gathering, of which he was an integral part of.

Artist's Statement:
"This recording is an alchemical reaction to the events that occurred within the paranormal spaces of the Black Lodge in Los Angles during the celebration of Halloween, a holiday with roots in the ancient pagan festival, Samhain. While engaged in the performative action of musical selection, time lost its significance as the material world dissolved. Turntables, mixer, and a thoughtful grouping of records (magic spells/alchemical compounds) are machines for divination. The sonic alchemy that thrives in the realm of chaos magick holds the key to travel beyond the familiar, and in that space is where we can locate the warm embrace of angels."

KOSMIK - TRAIN2NOWHERE [USMSTR2020]

@theblacklodgela
Visions: A Benefit Compilation for Artsakh is a compilation album with music from a wide range of electronic and dance music artists from the West Coast, East Coast, and beyond.

The album is produced by a community of artists with the intention to raise funds for the recent displacement and violence towards 100,000+ Armenians from the Republic of Artsakh (also known as Nagorno-Karabakh) - a de facto self-governed autonomous region with an Armenian population indigenous to Artsakh. The displaced families and those who have no other option but to return to their war-torn towns are in need of housing, medical, psychiatric support, food, and basic essentials.

*This is an indigenous struggle, and as ethnic-supremacist ideologies are on the rise across the world, we wanted to have a project that stands in solidarity with indigenous people’s right to self-determination and existence, and help from here in a small way.

On September 27, 2020, a large-scale military offensive was unprovokedly launched against the Republic of Artsakh and Armenia by the authoritarian regime of Azerbaijan, backed by Turkey. Armenian civilians, settlements, and civilian infrastructures including schools and churches were continuously bombarded for 45 days with drones, aerial attacks, internationally outlawed cluster bombs and white phosphorus munitions. Several thousands of lives were lost, hundreds still in captivity, and over a hundred thousand Armenians displaced after 70% of Artsakh’s territories were taken away. Currently, ancient Armenian historical, religious, and cultural sites in Artsakh are being destroyed, contributing to the years of cultural genocide by Azerbaijan’s petro-oligarchic regime. This is an indigenous struggle, and as ethnic-supremacist ideologies are on the rise across the world, we stand in solidarity with indigenous people’s right to self-determination and existence.

100% of sales will be donated to the following organizations who are currently giving on-the-ground support for displaced families or those who have lost family members and their homes:

“Since the start of the 2020 Artsakh War, we provide food/nutrition, warm clothing, and hygiene products for the refugee families of Artsakh. As of November 10, 2020, most of these families are refugees indefinitely. Our mission has evolved into a long-term, sustainable form of aid for these families that goes beyond basic needs. We are currently developing a sponsorship program, and working on providing educational resources, art and music workshops, and more.”
