01 Yva & The Toy George - Stealth

Debut EP with freshly combined electro pop/techno/noisy music provided by 888, from San Francisco.
Losing love, losing some parts of self, losing home, losing a mother figure, losing childhood, giving up some cultural and familial upbringing for personal growth, losing security and uncertainty, letting go of the past.
This is an auditory representation to the stages of grief or created episodes from a lifetime of experiences. Expressed and felt through its beats, sounds and frequencies.

Radiostrega - Grope In The Dark - episode 1 - 22.09.22

Witches Are Back collective released a 13 tracks compilation to support the campaign “Nessuna da sola - sostieni le sexworker” promoted by the transfeminist collective Ombre Rosse and a wide network of pro-sexworkers associations.

The original tracks are donated by 13 artists, and express many shades of the witches' sound: from noise to industrial, from techno to acid house, from dancefloor oriented tracks to electronic experiments.

The purpose is collecting funds to help sexworkers in Italy during the COVID19 emergency.
In Italy many "non conventional" jobs have no real income (mostly black money) and are invisible for the italian government. So they have naturally no access to any kind of social assistance benefit. For the sexworkers already living in precarity and difficult conditions, this has become a real humanitarian crisis.

The second Volume of "Red Shadows" compilation is coming soon. With 13 diverse tracks, it keeps on exploring the creativity of the Witches Are Back collective's electronic music producers network. Among the others, the extraordinary participation of Ixindamix, that creates rave culture milestones since 30 years, and the contributions of some underground and queer scene personalities like Produkkt, Anna Bolena, Lady Maru, Suit Kei, Impy, Yva & The Toy George. The compilation is released to support the transfeminist network which created the pro-sexworkers campaign "Nessuna Da Sola", addressing the COVID19 emergency in Italy.
Release date: December 15th, 2020

Witches Are Back collective is releasing a 13 tracks compilation, the second round following the first one already released on the occasion of the first global lockdown in March 2020,  to support the campaign “Nessuna da sola” promoted by the transfeminist collective Ombre Rosse and collecting funds to help sexworkers in Italy during the COVID19 emergency.

In Italy many "non conventional " jobs have no real income (mostly black money) and are invisible to the italian government. So they have naturally no access to any kind of social assistance benefit. At this moment, this has become a real humanitarian crisis.

ITA:

Witches Are Back ha selezionato 13 tracce per includerle nel secondo round della benefit compilation a supporto della campagna "Nessuna da sola" promossa dal collettivo transfemminista Ombre Rosse e una ampia rete di associazioni pro-sexworkers , che raccoglie fondi per aiutare le sexworkers che lavorano in Italia durante l'emergenza COVID19.

In Italia molti lavori "non convenzionali" non hanno un reale reddito dichiarabile e sono invisibili per il governo. Questo significa che naturalmente non hanno accesso ad alcun genere di aiuto finanziario. In questo momento per le sexworkers questo si sta trasformando in una vera crisi umanitaria.

Ombre Rosse è tra i collettivi promotori del crowdfunding.

Ombre Rosse è un collettivo transfemminista di sexworker e alleat* che da anni lotta contro lo stigma e lo sfruttamento , cerca di promuovere una narrazione diversa sul lavoro sessuale e porta avanti una forte rivendicazione dei diritti delle e dei sexworker in un'ottica femminista e decriminalizzante

La campagna di crowdfunding Covid19-Nessuna da sola-Sostieni le sexworker nasce per aiutare nel concreto le-i sexworker piu' colpite da questa emergenza.

Il sexwork non è un lavoro riconosciuto quindi chi vive di questo non ha accesso agli ammortizzatori sociali e a causa dello stigma rimane nella totale invisibilità.

Le-i sexworker piu' colpite sono le-i migranti senza documenti e quelle che non hanno altri mezzi di sostentamento e che anzi sostenevano con il loro lavoro persone a carico.

Questa emergenza sanitaria ha reso il sexwork un lavoro impraticabile e moltissime sexworker non sanno come fare la spesa e pagarsi le spese di casa, molte sono gia' per strada.
