Rentip – Burnside Odyssey (single, 2011)

The new LP of Robert Bittner, better known as Rentip - the more energetic half of the Slovak experimental duo Poo, has been long in the making. We were able to get a taste of Rentip’s beats via the rare occasions when he performed them live and we must say their abstract cinematic atmospheres kick ass in the same way as they encompass a rare mixture of psychedelic experimentalia influenced by the early Vancouver industrial scene.

Love Cult – Places to Get Lost In

It’s been a perennial discussion of ours, at least since starting this project - what does and doesn’t belong to Eastern Europe. Is the post-Cold War world still divided into east and west? The more we’ve travelled across the region - and living here all our lives - the more we think that the distinctions are pretty much still in place.
