Dj Bloodhole (SOTU Fest/ 14 April/ Occii)

During the 'welcome to hell' G20-Protest in Hamburg last July thousands of people took to the streets to protest the meeting of the leaders of the 20 most industrialized nations. The protest encountered heavy police repression that started a riot. The German state seized this opportunity to attack and criminalize autonomous structures. More than 100 people have been arrested under whom Peike from Amsterdam. He was the first to go on trail for allegedly throwing 2 beer bottles at police officers. The prosecution demanded 1 year and 7 months. the verdict. a jail sentence of 2 years and 7 months, to set an 'example' and demonstrate that 'riot tourism' is not tolerated. We have to show that this kind of government repression should not be tolerated. That making an example of somebody means a human life is wasted in a police cell in order to make propaganda. We have to do what we can to show solidarity with the victims of this repression, and to support their legal struggle. all donations go to prisoner support. credits released February 16, 2018 thanks to all participating artists and labels.

Del_F64​.​0 - Treffen gegen Taschengeld E​.​P. (SOTU Fest/14 April/ Occii))

Del_F64.0 is a commercial project to make the founding members rich and famous. It is based on the model "696 steps to success" by Prof. Dr. Bratislav Methulsky, dealing with filthy psychoanalytic hipster crowdfunding methods, secret sexual humiliation of the audience and wrong promises of free beer if you buy a disc after the shows. The members themselves are two perfectly looking women because this it how it works. They do not even stop at presenting their cut off superlong dicks as a special gift offer for the first die hard fans after buying a lifelong Del_F64.0-clubmember card that implies an ugly permanent anchor tattoo with the projectlogo on the fans genitals. In 2012 the project got arrested for the first time for giving fuck 2 pay for one offers to people in a degenerated Christian gangster retirement home. With the arrival of the police they jumped out of the windows into their "Del_F64.mobile" and tried to escape with a "kickstart + turboboost + incredible faceclash acceleration till dimension popovitcz" tripplehit combo. But they were out of gas, Now they are back from jail and horny as fuck because there not even the rats wanted to rape them (but at least had enough sympathy to subscribe to their worstly made amateur youtube channel). Developing excessively pimped vibrators to satisfy their needs they accidentally became inventors of the so called 'beatwhore' music which triumphs the charts and fries soundsystems worldwide. Fans say, in 2015 the project has become even more boring, commercial and predictible then ever.

Seamus Cater - The Three Things You Can Hear

"The first track on Seamus Cater‘s latest record, ‘The Three Things You Can Hear‘, introduces such a unique and singular sound that, paradoxically, the listener’s first instinct is to go searching for comparisons and precedents. It’s a tough job. Sure, there are elements of Ivor Cutler but in Cater’s work the music is tied to the voice, and to the content of the lyrics, in a way that is natural, organic and inseparable. There is an aftertaste of Arthur Russell here too, and a hint of atonality that recalls Nico’s work with John Cale, or indeed some of Cale’s more challenging solo work. But none of those comparisons really nails it. There is a narrative element to Cater’s record that becomes more apparent – and more engrossing – the more you hear it. That first song – Crabb 9807 – documents the rescue of a 1941 concertina from junk shop obscurity in Amsterdam, and the slow rehabilitation of that instrument until it was in a state where it could be played on – you guessed it – this album. The ultimate example of the twin narratives of music and lyrics binding together. The style is almost bardic in its ability to relay narrative. A truly original record with a cosmopolitan and at times improvisational feel." Thomas Blake - FRUK
