We proudly present the debut LP of this young indie girl band characteristic for its floating sound unearthing secret depths of juvenile human beings. Daydreamy vocal and guitar textures glitter over their pure approach. Surreal love earnestly declared is stretched over an entire album. Enjoy!

Genuine Jacks, bearing the name of several legendary Jacks - from Daniel, the famous distiller, through Kerouac, the wandering scribbler, all the way to White, the modern guitar magician. The genuine power trio have been cruising the Slovak and Czech club scene for quite some time and they are standing behind a great local underground festival 'AKM Culture Days'. The debut album 'CANDYLAND' represents their energetic blast of garage rock'n'roll with a touch of stoner and blues - a bit as if The Black Keys had a jam in one garage with Dežo Ursíny's The Soulmen and their 'slovakness'"

Japanese noise legend Merzbow (Masami Akita), Swedish innovative saxophonist Mats Gustasfsson and Hungarian drummer Balazs Pándi bring an exclusive portion of extreme aesthetics. Screaming squiggles, grinding beats, whirring and spurting machines bring an insight into the depths of mayhem. Their unrepeatable live performance from April 2012 in Tabačka is out now for anyone who is not afraid of unlimited numinous frenzy clash, that happens once in a long time.

After four years of studio work a new horror pop / vulgar pop act from Kosice, Slovakia, comes out with their unique debut octaple album Octameron consisting of 72 tracks at more that 5 hours of intense music. Kurkus brings a solid mass of ugliness mixed with industrial and dance punk aesthetic. This huge album is full of sheer irony towards pop-music of the last decades, unbound energy combined with tension of heady harmonies sometimes crushed by catchy insolent melodies and total disharmonies with a portion of noise. They sing in mixture of Slovak, English and new found Pendalanguage.
