Rest in Peace Juan Atkins “the godfather of techno.” His unconventional sounds became the blueprint for an entire new genre of music, influencing generations of producers, DJs and record labels, like ours. “I don’t know how you can love music and be close-minded... Life would be boring if you just adhered to the same protocol every day, so there are guys like me out there championing the cause for different and alternative ways of life and listening to music.” Juan Atkins Video by Juriaan Moolhuysen

Euroshima was the ultimate 80s goth club soundtrack that lingered in obscurity until our reissue, back in stock now! 🦇 “Echoing the stylized pains of early ‘80s Northern England via Argentina, ‘Gala’ brings its own sexiness to the darkwave goth sound thanks to Wanda’s reverberating vox and a below-the-belt drive to guide the flounce and coquettish mating rituals of all-black clad dancers from Batley to Buenos Aires.” Boomkat.com

NERVOUS GENDER Miscarriage (Live at Target, 1980) Nervous Gender emerged from Los Angeles in 1978 as one of the most innovative and confrontational acts of the early American Punk underground. Founded by Phranc, Gerardo Velazquez, Edward Stapleton, and Michael Ochoa, the band rejected the guitar-driven conventions of Punk and instead built its sound around distorted synthesizers, primitive electronics, noise, and performance art, helping to lay the foundation for what would later become known as SynthPunk, Industrial Noise, or whatever genre term harnesses the chaos and energy. Their performances were provocative, chaotic, and often intentionally unsettling, exploring themes of sexuality, identity, alienation, and social transgression. Combining abrasive electronics with an uncompromising artistic vision, Nervous Gender stood at the forefront of the emerging intersection between Punk, Industrial, and experimental electronic music while championing the Queer music underground.
