On 26 February, hundreds of Israeli settlers went on a violent late-night rampage in Huwara and other villages in the northern West Bank, leaving one local resident dead and 100 others injured and the town ablaze.

This compilation of music was put together in order to raise funds that can hopefully give some aid to the residents of Huwara, all of the proceeds Confused Machines make from digital sales will go directly to Physicians For Human Rights – Israel (PHRI) www.phr.org.il An NGO that works in the occupied Palestinian territory, promoting Palestinians' right to health and providing direct medical and humanitarian assistance.

The compilation hosts a roster of both local and international artists spanning a wide spectrum of leftfield electronic music. Acid, Drone, Noise, Downtempo, Techno, SoundCollage and more.
All of these tracks are new and have not been heard before, many of them have been created with Huwara and Palestine in mind.

Though we know our reach is limited, we see this as a part of a bigger political effort to help raise awareness in our artistic circles and set motion to positive forces in dark times.

Fashion Flesh, the solo-output moniker of experimental electronics pioneer John Talaga, mutates onto Dead Channel with this fully analog, titan of a seven tracker.

Atomic-age western meets flying saucer minimal-wave, in this absolute howler. Hand crafted, heavily modified electronics, built by Talaga himself, mangle 50's death rays, fuzzed-out alien lasers, and primitive mechanized robotics, swaying in perfect unison with dusty, wind-swept guitars, sludgy whistling vocals, and rich delay in a symphony of old west psychedelia. So saddle up and hit the trail with a 10 strip in your pocket, a ray-gun at your hip, and ride off into the psychotropic sunset before the fallout blows your way.

Fashion Flesh - Went Alone [DC023]

"Strange World" is not merely an album; it's a sonic expedition that probes the aberrations of a society shaped by the strange and transformative influence of technology. The music industry, a microcosm of this surreal universe, has become an intricate web of formatted reactions and impersonal interactions.
Foreign, the musical observer, takes the audience on a solitary journey through the night—a time of introspection where raw feelings and emotions are eclipsed by the numbing shadows of social media and the relentless march of technology.

The album resonates with an unmistakable romanticism, shrouded in a dark, mysterious atmosphere. Each track is a testament to the disquieting beauty found in the synthesis of opposites—the warm, pulsating beats of EBM intertwining with the ethereal melodies of synth-pop. The result is a musical landscape that is simultaneously haunting and alluring, much like the strange world it reflects.

As the listener navigates through the album, they become companions to the lonely observer, a nocturnal thinker contemplating the trajectory of the world. Foreign's evocative lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world losing touch with its own humanity, a place where genuine connection is overshadowed by the mechanical hum of progress.

"Strange World" stands as a poignant commentary on the paradoxes of our age, wrapped in a musical tapestry that captivates the senses. It's an invitation to explore the corridors of introspection, to confront the bizarre reality we inhabit, and to rediscover the raw, authentic emotions that seem to be slipping away in the wake of progress.

With its ebmish and synth-popish allure, "Strange World" is an immersive experience—a musical sojourn that leaves an indelible mark on the listener's soul, prompting them to reflect on the enigmatic world we call home. Foreign invites you to step into the shadows, where the strange becomes familiar, and the familiar becomes strange.

BL004 EXPERIMENT ZERO - THE NON ASSAY SOUND OF THE UNDERGROUND
Reemerging from the threshold of the cosmic vortex, Black Lodge returns with another sonic artifact that is charged with vigorous chaotic energy, known as EXPERIMENT_ZERO. Accounts of the radiant object’s origin are as mysterious as the raw energy that utters from its core. Following a close study, the guardians of the portal suspect that “Experiment Zero” was a primordial experiment rooted in the slam jack pits and DIY warehouse rituals of ages passed. A sonic dialog constructed of various languages, spanning from roots-house jak to bare-knuckled electro are revealed across the artifact - a revolutionary tale that surpasses the constructs of ephemerality, with a refusal to be ignored. 

Across the release the listener is confronted with fearless acid lines that are underscored by a tone of revolution, and sets the stage for a human voice that switches between modes of a sharp and mutated presence. The power of such sonic objects are both celebrated and rejected by various tribal societies. It is all dependent on the belief structures and traditional histories of its members. Those that belong to the cult of Ron Hardy, Mad Mike Banks, Traxx, and JTC will welcomingly be drenched in its riotous energies. It is for the dedicated, not the light-hearted. 
 
After further research it has been discovered that, Experiment Zero is the product of Dona, aka Dj Plant Texture and Mike Tansella Jr. of Son of Traders, both products of the ancient mercantile city of Bari in Southern Italy. Previous works from these artists have been featured on Creme Organization, Gravitational Waves, Unknown to Unknown, and Illian Tapes. All sonic experimentation was recorded in one take to capture the raw energy of instantaneous collaborative sound craft operating in flux.  Black Lodge’s 4th release is sure to find a space in the music collections of those seeking to travel within the uncanny portals that unforgivingly defy the status quo.
