Esc.rec. commits to the cultural boycott of Israel, together with many artists and organisations. This includes geo-blocking streaming services to remove Esc.rec. releases from Israel.

We wish to no longer remain bystanders to the ongoing war crimes, crimes against humanity and what has been widely recognized by all authoritative institutions as a genocide of the Palestinian people.

With immediate effect, and in response to sustained calls from Palestinian artists and civil society at large, we declare a cultural boycott of the Israeli state and of all Israeli institutions and companies. Exempted from the boycott are those Israeli institutions and companies that are not complicit in violations of international law and have unequivocally spoken out against genocide, apartheid and the illegal occupation. The boycott is explicitly not directed at individuals or their origins, and therefore not at Jewish people or Israelis as such, but rather at the complicity of the Israeli state and Israeli institutions and companies in grave human rights violations against the Palestinian people.

This decision to commit to a boycott has not been taken lightly. The cultural sector is guided by the belief that artistic exchange and collaboration ought to make the world a better place, or at the very least, do no harm. There can, however, be no question of continuing business as usual: this impunity must come to an end.

OUT NOW! 'Niet alles wat afwijkt is weerloos' by Plan Kruutntoone/ AhuraMazda 3000. Taking your orders at escrec.bandcamp.com

"Like the Bad Seeds meeting with Ornette Coleman’s double quartets under the strict eye of Galina Ustvolskaja, before a grey and red Marc Rothko sky. Tilted."

Plan Kruutntoone collaborated with AhuraMazda 3000 on an (anti-)gospel record: to stop handing over fear through generations and make some noise. The result is now released on vinyl, as two 12" albums, a 10" maxi single and a handmade 2 x 36 page book. All of these items are sold separately, but you get discounts if you buy them as a bundle.

PLEASE NOTE: production of the maxi single and book are DELAYED. As soon as they arrive we start shipping. This also applies to package deals that include the maxi single and/or book.

Don't sleep on it though, limited editions moving fast.

On Sunday afternoon June 8th (the official release date) this 9-headed ensemble is playing a double bill with .d at in . Info+tickets 🔗 perifeer.org

No doubt this is going to be one of those essential not-to-be-missed concerts, as people who have seen earlier concerts in the tour are already reaching out with their heartfelt testimonials when ordering records. And a solo by Berlinde Deman is no joke either, mind you. Hope to see you there!
