Since a long time we have been following the music generated by the Romanian mash-up artist Bogdan Marcu going under the name of b0g. His sonic “plunderphonic mutants” are not only an exercise in mixing seemingly disparate sources into one bass-heavy and dirty piece of lo-fi booty electronica, but most often also conceptual pieces reflecting and reinterpreting Romanian culture, history and politrix.

The burgeoning Prague-based label Landmine Alert has just released the debut LP of its most idiosyncratic band to date - Vložte Kočku. The LP titled Táta is composed of 7 songs that incorporate elements of postrock, hard-core, electronica, hiphop and spoken word into a very perplexing and multifacetted sound (using electronic violin instead of a guitar), that is at the same time utterly unique in the Czech scene and also very typical in some respect (considering the vocal delivery style common for a plethora of Czech bands).

A new compilation by Strefa Szarej, a label and a cultural organisation run out of Cieszyn in Poland near the Czech border tries to reflect the music production of the country’s neighbouring countries - Czech Republic and Slovakia (and even Hungary). Genre-wise, the focus is of course on the fringes of the music production of the respective countries (otherwise we wouldn’t be writing about it:), but it varies from weirdo electronic (notably miss Dolly Rambo, Hungary’s foremost art bruteish pop star) through post-dance through psychedelic and mellow at the end with Fuka Lata, Sangoplasmo’s Lutto Lento and their epic 17-minute track, Grobbing Thristle and their haunting ode, I Love 69 Popgeju, Moduretik, Stroon, Piča z Hoven, IP (Identity Problem) or Dead Janitor.

Please Feed My Records is a collective of musicians, bedroom producers and DJs based in a sleepy town of Zielena Gora in Poland. In spite - or perhaps also because of - the soporific, bucolic surroundings, PFMR has gravitated towards the hazy sonic spectrum encompassing hypnagogia, synth-driven territories, glofi, shoegaze, cut up yearning R'n'B vocals, post/dance beats et al.

HOV is an audiovisual project from Wroclaw. An audiovisual collaboration between sonician Piotr Matkowski and visualist Jaga Slowinska, HOV take a “bricoleur” approach in their AV creations digging out samples from various ephemera and visual debris scattered all around the web coated in hazy, glofi music and to hypnagogic effect.

The dualistic entity Jacques Kustod vs Zelený Antoin is a sonic schizophrenic project by Brno-based Andrej Kabal who has been busy lately with the anti-ACTA compilation DADA ACTA (together with An Chaosdroid). The story goes that the siblings were separated at birth and hate each other.

“Magma Trakt is an annual crawling plant, the harbinger of the Otherworldly and the immanent presence of the Interdimensional. Ranging in colour from purple to neonatally rosy this plant of entoxicating scent and grandiose ambush decore can be found climbing the walls of reality tunnels.
