Samčo, brat dážďoviek is a peculiar phenomen on the Slovak sonic scene, an epitome of weirdness that is not a try-hard, but rather a genuine expression of artistic intention. His March EP, entitled Európske hlavné épéčko kultúry /European Capital EP of Culture/ is a pun on the increasingly controversial European capital of culture project in the eastern Slovakian city of Košice. Brimming with various field recordings, recorded in various locations, including Brno “ghettos”, Košice streets, samples and whatnot, it drawing parallels from Negativland and People Like Us mash up sonic activism.
