From Kiev to Kansas City, 20-somethings the world over tend to traffic in the same sort of distractions from modern life: clothes, sneakers, cars, love. Mascot, the debut LP from Ukranian guitar and drum machine noise makers, Bichcraft, holds these things for what they are: fleeting diversions from the bleak realities of modern times and an increasingly uncertain political landscape. That the band composed, wrote and recorded Mascot’s eight songs in its hometown of Kiev only adds to their authority on the matter.  As Dima Novichenko sings in the album opener ‘Didn’t Know,’ “There are erased numbers on your road… We better cover our heads.”  
This is heavy, paranoid music in the shape of frenetic jams like “A4,” in which waves of dual-guitar noise accompany a digitized howl, chanting from deep inside the mix. Often, guitar interludes emerge quickly and take a song in a new direction as they do in "Might Night Dicks."  On this track Novichenko and Bichowski display an extensive post-punk guitar vocabulary. They are as fluent in Psychocandy as they are early SY.  After hearing the record’s interwoven guitar lines, it should come as no surprise that the two originally met up to play garage jazz before Serzh Kupriychuk and Jenia Machina joined to handle bass and drum machines, respectively.   
For its brutality and chaos, Mascot has some undeniably pretty moments: the lilting guitar refrain that kicks off “Bushes,” for example, or the often poetic imagery in Novichenko and Bichowski’s lyrics about the natural world, love and decay. Still, these nods to beauty always lead back to fractured songs about suburban scenes where mankind’s disregard for nature is just a warning of greater dangers looming on the edge of town.

Lust For Youth – Better Looking Brother

"Neathriver Chain" is from the Shadoof LP out now!  Order LP or CD here - http://wharfcatrecords.com/store/pre-order-bichkraft-shadoof-1

Order Shadoof on Apple Music here - https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/shadoof/id1109816661

On the cusp of their first U.S. tour, Kiev-based four-piece Bichkraft deliver their shimmering second album, Shadoof. To write and record their sophomore effort, the group built a studio in a debris-strewn lot in the hilly Roshinskiy neighborhood of Kiev, Ukraine. Using the piles of broken classical LPs, discarded winter coats and Soviet-era refrigerators they found there, they constructed a studio to serve as their de facto headquarters. The trash-filled yard outside, in all its chaotic beauty, became its own source of inspiration for the recording. Once the songs were complete, the band refined them on the road, performing around Kiev, throughout Ukraine and for the first time in Russia.
    
Finding inspiration in the wasteland, Shadoof refuses to end the party even while chaos and disintegration build around the edges. From anthemic industro-punk (“Big Red Robe”) and jagged, hook-filled noise pop (“Sleeves at Farewell”) to pulsing techno noise (“Stain of Rest”), Shadoof hits hard out of the gates and takes listeners on a journey through Kiev’s winding streets, out past the Ukrainian border and into regions unknown.  This is a record of dangerous beauty made by and for the adventurous.

“Fans of early Jesus & Mary Chain, The Ukiah Drag, and psych that doesn’t stray into shitty jam band territory, pay close attention”

Pulsating, roaring techno with venom running through its veins is on the menu for this one and if you don't hear it rumbling the walls of Berghain anytime soon then it means the selector's aren't doing it right. 

The 'No Feeling Is Final' EP will be released on March 31 via Dame-Music

No Feeling Is Final 

More exclusive music

Premiere: Bloody Mary 'Knockout'

Contort Yourself is extremely proud to present a double LP of original 80s underground cassette music.

The 1980s. Neo-liberal excess. Crumbling communism. Military juntas ruling with an iron fist. And of course, freaked out music. Contort Yourself are turning back the clock and returning to an unholy fount of inspiration with "80s Underground Cassette Culture Volume 1." A buffet of beaten up and brutalised tracks are on offer from unknown outfits and respected experimenters. Across two LPs expect to find noise reductions, post punk bitterness, no wave grunts, distortion soaked strings and vocals lost in a hail of pain. A road map into the weird and wild world of DIY back alley artists who, armed with only a tape and an idea, gave the established music norms a sharp fist to the throat.

VASTECHOSES - 13 - LOSTSOUNDBYTES - GYPSY ROTATION - PART 2 - Snippet

Limited edition black vinyl & digital
Released by bore hole July 2018
Illustrated by @sonyapetri

When we launched bore hole last April, our initial plan was to release our friends and friends of friends from all around the globe, but with the the flow of time and especially the opening of our very own Клуб (@kisloty), I think the focus has somehow shifted to showcasing and, especially, growing and motivating our local talent. That is not to say that we will never release a foreign act or ask a Dutch friend to remix a track, but do expect more ex-USSR natives on the releases to come.

Preparing this release from Muscles & Hate, who is also known as Synkronized, was not at all an easy decision or task. We actually mastered it at the same time when HOLE01 was being planned, but since then changed our minds many times – including a full-on official cancellation. And yet here we are a year later, playing these very same tracks that just don't get old in our sets, and getting more and more acclaimed feedback from our new friends at De School, Digital Tsunami and others.

This is a very special release for me personally because I heard all of these tracks during my first visit to the now defunct Rabitza, a truly cult club in Moscow that inspired us in a lot of ways (although Rustem and Julia were much closer to it) and was violently shut down by police. 
Not quite sure now if I was on acid at the time or not, but seeing the place to Synkronized's live performance for the first time is something I hold very dear, and especially 'Labyrinth' that was playing right at the time of my first entry to the Cabinet dancefloor, which actually prompted me to post an instagram story saying I am too old for this shit.

A2 - Hunting Lodge - De Omnibus Dubitandum (1983)
A3 - Catriel - nbdymksmefeellowlikeudo

B1 - Giant Swan - Dare
B2 - Hunting Lodge - De Omnibus Dubitandum (Gotshell Remix)

"Contort Yourself continues to explore the crossover between decrepit 80s industrial and the modern artists drawing inspiration from those heady, experimental times, and the results are as thrilling as ever. Haydee's "No Gouvernance" is a brutal charge of drums and distorted yelps, while 1983 jam "De Omnibus Dubitandum" by Hunting Lodge fuses layers of distortion and proto acid with live bass and brittle drums. Catriel lays out a sinister but seductive message on "Nbdymksmefeellowlikeudo", Giant Swan bring their raucous avant-techno styles to "Dare" and then Gotshell remix Hunting Lodge into a thunderous industrial techno charge." - JUNO

CY008 - A1 - Haydée  - No Gouvernance

Vegas, the city of sin, the place where Presley went to set his soul on fire, the place where Nick Cage went to drink himself to death, the little man made purgatory in the Nevada Desert, within close range of the test sites of the Manhattan Project, the Science project which gave birth to the nuclear bomb. If something is Banned in Vegas you have to assumme it's so bad that it's good!
Blume Attempt's 'Hark Back (live)' is the final offering from the Series One tape compilation, which offers up a slow burner which sit's somewhere between Thomas Bangaltar's thee from Irreversible, and Mark Lannegan. Vicious saturated synth lines lay seductively beneath a subtle acid line which ironically starts to become more apparent at about 3 minutes 3 seconds. Something which your average techno nerd wouldn't fail to see the irony in. 
With a beast of a kick drum and a snare which hits so hard it makes you jump out of your skin, this track is spooky, fuzzy and awash with weird and wonderful vocals which only add to the idea that this track should not be banned anywhere, let alone in Vegas.

CY is kicking off a new series of 12"s focusing exclusively on contemporary artists with some wild experimental industrial muzak from Portuguese duo Coletivo Vandalismo!

Coletivo Vandalismo - Urubus Fall From The Dying Sun In An Improvised Manner EP

A1 - The (Black) Sun's Burning (feat. Neonthroat)
A2 - Hostages of Society
A3 - Zombie Zombie

B1 - Are You Awake?
B2 - Children of the Curse
B3 - Black Sun's Demise

"Having built its name on various artist releases featuring old and new artists, Contort Yourself is branching out with a new series that focuses on one contemporary act per release. In this instance it's Coletivo Vandalismo getting some much-deserved attention. The Portuguese industrial punk outfit have a visceral sound that favours noise and distortion, but most importantly they know how to wield these sonic tools for maximum impact. The snarl of the synths and the crunch of the drums on "Hostages Of Society" could easily be too much in the wrong hands, but here the errant tones find their own space in the mix, making the impact of the track all the more on-point." - JUNO

TESTFM w/ Current Call — 12/01/2019

TESTFM: Melomantica w/ Philip Berg, Errortica — 10/02/2019

After one year of the new era of the label, B.I.V is proud to present their second volume of the
Series One Compilation. This time more friends and local heroes are involved, and the result is an
interesting combination of backgrounds, tastes, feelings and savoir-faire of each artist.
Right from the start you’ll hear the otherworldly nostalgia tune coming from Calhi, the esoteric
electronic pop duo formed by label members Al Pagoda and Airaboi. The second one is a new slow
burner from Blume Attempt, taking acid basslines this time to another dimension and followed by
Emra Grid’s progressive experimentalism oddity.
On the B-side, long-time local music producer Berend Interlmann brings his vision to the
compilation in form of a sun-kissed beautiful anthem, right before Bataille dreamy pads smash into
straight beats in this club-ready track. The last psychedelic journey is a live recording from
D.R.U.S.H, the sporty former project of Low Bat and Etkin Cekin.
