Veleno Viola is proud to announce a podcast series hosting EBM/Synth/Wave/Industrial/Electro artists.
First episode is from Yuega, pseudonym used by Nicolò Stefanelli, a Bologna-based (IT) dj and producer. His project started years before the 2020 pandemic, releasing limited-edition DIY tapes. Now he lurks in the lowest depths of the Italian Underground.
His music is an updated version of the 80’s electronic experiments, a crossover between the paranoia of the current clubbing scene and the roots of electronic music, a journey into an underground world, filled by nostalgic impulses and modern concepts.
An interpretation involved in this life-long passion.

Veleno Viola Podcast #1: YUEGA

70 minutes of depraved melancholy, broken dreams, romantic nihilism, childhood reflections, cold-war era anxiety, denied loves, tortured souls...

FUTURESHOCK 35 w/ Violet Poison

Diana Berti is the moniker used by Francesco Baudazzi (Violet Poison) for distinctly nostalgic productions that revisit the 80s of the obscure bands on cassette in a fairly modern way. The lean melodies and essential rhythms of “The Hand That Seeds Death” are the setting for a visionary and hypothetical 80s b-movie that looks like the plot of “Phenomena” by Dario Argento. Solidly anchored to certainties such as Muslimgauze, Goblin and Doxa Sinistra, turn on the VCR and enjoy this dream journey on VHS.

Out on 26th October via Ready Made Distribution, Berlin.
Blue vinyl, limited press.
Part II coming early 2021.
