INFO
'N ext Wave Acid Punx' is a 38 track journey across nearly 40 years of dark club mu sic compiled and curated by Berlin-based Musician and DJ, Luca Venezia aka Curse s. Inviting friends with a like-minded affection for an 80s rooted sound, and di ving deep into his record collection, Curses has put together a three CD/double vinyl set that takes us from music by Colourbox and Suicide to EBM pioneers, Fro nt 242 through to recent club hits from Zombies in Miami, and 12 brand new, tota lly exclusive tracks from the likes of Shubostar, Chinaski, and Curses himself.
Exploring the darker side of club music, 'Next Wave Acid Punx' trace s decades of a musical passion and joins the dots between the EBM, New Beat, Ita lo and Acid House tracks of the 1980s to present music of today.
"Pu tting together a compilation like this is a strange experience. I've never been one to stay still too long. Whether as a musician, DJ, or producer I'd never wan ted to tie myself down to one scene or one sound, always looking to move on befo re I'd maybe run a project completely dry. With an album you create a snapshot o f who you are during that time in life, with a DJ set maybe just that night, but this felt more like trying to sum up a lifetime of musical experiences. A bit d aunting! But in putting this comp together I did find a path that led from liste ning to FRONT 242 and Ministry cassettes in my bedroom when I was just 11, throu gh to the music I make and play today.
What links these tracks togeth er, is an attitude. It's one I've been drawn to since I was a teenager, playing in punk bands, skateboarding in NYC, hanging out at CBGBs, and following Sonic Y outh around, to eventually raving every weekend at underground drum & bass and e lectro nights.
As a teenager I'd dig through the bargain bins at shop s like Vinyl Mania and Bleecker Bob's where you'd find all these Freestyle, Ital o and New Beat records. Straight away I zoned in on the "Dub" and "Extended Danc e Mix" versions where the focus was on the drums and I could hear a link to band s I'd loved years before.
The first part takes early tracks from band s who came directly out of the punk and new wave scenes, that played a major rol e in forming my musical taste. The second part celebrates current music influenc ed by these early pioneers and exclusive new music made for this compilation, wi th the passion for these genres in mind.
Some of these songs may have been written decades apart, but they all share an energy, a raw spirit, it's th ose massive drums and gated snares that you hear on both Demolition Group's 'You Better Stay Alive' from 1988, and Shubostar's brand new track, 'Aya'. This mix of electric and electronic sounds have been part of my make up ever since I lear ned to play guitar accompanied by a DR550 drum machine.
After leaving New York, I found a scene that helped me realize I could combine all my own pas t influences into my productions, song-writing and DJ sets. Discovering undergro und parties like Wrong Era, Cocktail d'Amore in Berlin, La dame Noir in Marseill e, and of course A Love From Outer Space, made the pieces fall into place for me . This is the sound of a community I love, a passion without sacrifice, that I n ow want to share with you."
