„What is comic, airhead, grimace, a small matter, an unnecessary detail, unusual fleeting, a natural inconsistency that unpredictably crops up and suddenly disappears, touchable non-sense, an unexpected epiphany.”

from her upcoming new album, will be released in December Cheap Satanism (Belgium) /  Lentonia (France) / La Solita Minestra Records (Italy)

There are no many things to say about CAZZURILLO, one girl mess from Grinchland. She just composes melodramatic popular songs and performs them on her voice, guitar, bass guitar, drum machine and noises with visual smash up whenever/ however/ wherever/ whoever she wants. Nevertheless CAZZURILLO is still convinced to be an atypical composer and performer, but the soup is always the same old minestrone with Syd Barett, Sex Pistols, Lydia Lunch or Nirvana.

Synth wave, elektro pop, acid tracks on Dutch label

ENFANT TERRIBLE RECORDS

TWINS (US, Atlanta, Georgia) is Matt Weiner who is also known for his Featureless Ghost project and of course as the head of the DKA Records label… it’s a classic minimal elektro record but at the same time a rather modern piece of electronic music…RATHER NOT 12″ MINI LP

Zarkoff together with Ikonal from Croatia… these three tracks are from one of the infamous synth jams Zarkoff is organizing in an empty factory near Sisak in Croatia… the acid tracks featured on this EP have a throbbing beat with a clear hint to EBM… and the acid lines are both psychedelic and dark… TOXICOLOGY 12″EP

Antlers Mulm from Leipzig, Germany… recommended to fans of New Order but also of Solitude FX… melancholy, dreamy and catchy… GIVE AND TAKE 7″

Christophe Clebard, a Belgian electronic musician, at the moment in Vancouver. His new cassette „Suce moi” will be released on 30th September by Canadian label Agony Klub.

Hard to categorize, but it is telling that he published music as Tucano on Italian NO=FI Recordings, home of strange other music (Hiroshima Rocks Around, Cheveu, Trouble Vs Glue, OvO, Dan Melchior, Maria Violencza and more). Of course RNR666 gave news from Tucano. Then I wrote about his music: psychedelic no wave disco with gothic and oriental moments. Then he used Italian, Polish and Englisn langueges, now he uses French. Some phrases what came to my mind by his brand new tape: minimal, electro, acid, techno, industrial, in 80s retro style, when the Belgian undergroung electronic scene was dominant. And it called a French music collective Grand Triple Alliance Internationale De L’Est to my mind, there are some similar acts like The Dreams, Klaus Legal or Cheveu.

I also had speed metal years, but those were little different, but after came the speed years, and those were similar

Enfant Terrible is a Dutch record label for electronic music. It has been founded in 2004 in Amsterdam. Besides new performers it also publish underground electro bands from the 80s. One of his sublabels for the danceable music is Gooiland Elektro. Noblesse Oblige is the upcoming album under this label. It’s a perfectly edited compilation with 6 different artists.

LCN and Osty are totally unknown for me and impossible to find them on the net. Anyway LCN is minimal, Osty is trance. Monocorpse from Holland is occult, ritual, monotone and primitive. I take it that the song Robert and Caroline is about a serial killer and his victim. Profligate (pronounced prof-la-git) from Philadelphia is retrospective rave wave. It’s Noah Anthony’s solo project. His highly entertaining band is Form A Log with three men who make music with 4-track cassette players. Future Blondes from Sehol, Texas are tribal industrial. Besides their acid pop tracks there are tiresome noise streams too. It’s a free form band of Domokos, performing member of Helios Creed/Chrome, Black Leather Jesus, Indian Jewelry, and drummer of punk band Rusted Shut, „one of the greatest Texas bands in the history of the universe” by Monofonus Press. Neugeborene Nachtmusik from Berlin is black. He said about his songs: battlefields just after the battle, but the song Yoshiwara (about Tokyo’s red light district) comes the Chemical Bros to my mind. And you can find easy cold dark danceable melodies on his brand new 7″ single which will be released soon by Petit Enfant, another sublabel of ET.

Monocorpse – Robert and Caroline + Profligate – Comeback +  Neugeborene Nachtmusik – Maze  and Kowakoma from the single + Neurobit – A Spin of Destiny

The last song is performed by Bas Welling, aka Former Descent. The Dutch musician is known as IDM, breakcore, 8-bit electro and African percussions artist. Under the pseudonym Neurobit he makes ambient droning a la Beequeen. It’s perfect background noise for your daily activity, for example to write a post to RNR666.

„Moira” mini LP on Vrystadt Records, lo-fi-psych-folk sublabel of ET.

Französisch Neue Deutsche Welle. With mediewal, afro and oriental rhythms. So sehr putzig! Well, it’s funny enough.

Heimat consists of Olivier from Cheveu and Armellie from The Dreams. Debut LP by Teenage Menopause Records (Europe) and Kill Shaman (US).

Cover art by Alexander „the Great” Lobanov, a deaf and mute and lunatic artist. He was a prototype of the Soviet human.

There was a great electro-hc-punk band in the 90s in San Diego, the Tit Wrench. And they are here again. Down into the drain!
