INFO
Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX is the second compilation for Eski mo Recordings compiled and curated by Berlin-based Musician and DJ Luca Venezia, aka Curses, to explore the darker side of club music. Spread across 3CDs and th ree 2LPs Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX features a mammoth 49 tracks that join the dot s between early industrial pioneers Throbbing Gristle, EBM legends like Nitzer E bb and the post-punk experiments of people like Malcolm McLaren and Big Audio Dy namite with some of the most exciting artists around today, such as Boy Harsher, Nuovo Testamento and Years of Denial.
Where the first Next Wave Acid Punx compilation was a personal journey for Luca, a lockdown inspired explorati on of his record collection to find the thread that ran through the music that h ad soundtracked much of his life, DEUX is a celebration of that music let loose on the world, the thrill of music performed live, the smoke and strobe filled cl ubs you'll hear it in and the artists you'll find on those stages.
"A fter our enforced break, getting back out there and playing live again really br ought home to me so much of what I love about the scene I'm in but also just how important live music has been and is to club culture over the years," Luca expl ains. "Too often we think of club nights and live gigs as these separate things, but throughout the years it's where the two meet, the friction that can cause, that you'll find the most vibrant scenes."
"There's an energy, an atm osphere that you get with live music, an unpredictability where at any moment so mething can go wrong or even better right in a way you never expect. I think abo ut a live set we played at a Lebanese festival where our MPC drum machine froze up because of all the dust and sand trapped in the pads. We had to improvise hal f our set, jamming bass and guitar and pedal FX and vocals, embracing this surre al environment and experience, something that could only happen in the moment."< br />
"With Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX I wanted to celebrate those bands and artists, past and present who, to me, represent that spirit. Both full live band s and makeshift electronic duos alike, the kind of acts that you might have foun d wedged between DJs back in the day at The Hacienda in the 80s, Trash in the 00 s or today at nights like Berlin's MILK ME, EXBTN in Paris, Night Terrors + SC&P in London, New York City's Synthicide or Ukraine's Worn Pop.
So I've put this compilation together much like my favourite kind of night, going out t o see some bands play, hitting up a club where live music and DJs blur together, before the serious business of the after party. On Chapter 1 you'll find bands like Vicious Pink, DAF and Cabaret Voltaire, some of these acts are more obscure than others, some flirted with pop and even the charts but they were all embrac ing new ways of working in the late 70s and 80s that both set them apart and set the scene for much of what we think of as club music.
Chapter 2 move s the night on, and this is the sound of the clubs I love to both play and just hang out in these days, clubs where the people involved put a lot more time into digging through the crates than working on their Instagram Reels. These are pla ces where you're as likely to find a band on stage as you are a DJ, where 80's G erman electro pop by a band like Boytronic seamlessly flows into tracks like Sil ent Servant's Non Fiction. Timeless music that can be romantic, dreamlike and et hereal one moment, then veer into dark, industrial sounds the next.
T hen finally we get to that part of the night where you probably should go home b ut if it's too late for good decisions there's still time for good music. Things are a bit wilder here, the drums a bit harder, the synths are more aggressive, tracks like The Hacker's Monopoly, Zanias' Tryptamine Palace or EVA's Industrial Hope that don't let up, don't let you go, just subjugate you to the beat and ke ep you there till you stumble out blinking into a new day."
