PREMIERE: Mule Driver - Encrypted Signals (Confused Machines)

As every 808 day Since 2011 Mule Driver is releasing new music based on the legendary TR-808.

In this year's 808 offering, Mule Driver serves 7 electro cuts, using Roland TR-808, Roland SH-09, Korg MS-20, Korg MS-2000, Verbos Electronics modules and a few FX processors.
Those tracks hopefully will awake and activate a few agents or people in order to help us get over these insane times.

This treat comes as a limited cassette edition that will be shipped later in September.

from Mule Driver post:
"I bought my TR-808 in 2003 and since then celebrate this day in various ways. since 2011 I'm publishing and releasing music on august 8th and here is 2024's offering."

you can listen to it on Bandcamp (link below)

a tape version will be available later after the summer is over.

Beats against Fascists

* in current events it wasn't obvious

11/07/2024

As the world got even worse in the past ten years, Mujahideen’s songs from 2014 about greed, vengeance, culture slaves and the human factor are more relevant than ever in 2024, as it seems that the world is trapped in a vicious circle, which summons new dawn of Fascism.

Therefore, Dead Language still sounds like a prophecy of wrath accompanied by a shivering crossover of post punk, dub and industrial, inspired by bands like Su***de, P.I.L, The Fall, Mark Stewart & The Maffia, Section 25, Psychic TV, The Young Gods and The Chameleons, which offers a captivating but desperate introspection into the abyss of humankind.
Or as Mujahideen puts it on “Stillness”:
We’re rolling up our sleeves, But we have no arms.

PREMIERE: Timothy J. Fairplay - No Serviette (Confused Machines)

These are challenging times in the middle east. As the situation in Gaza gets worse daily, we are committed to doing what we can to end this conflict, and provide aid to the residents of Gaza, as well as all Palestinians in the west bank.

All proceeds from Confused Machines' digital sales will go directly to Physicians For Human Rights – Israel (PHRI) www.phr.org.il, which continues its medical work and humanitarian aid in the West Bank despite the difficult circumstances.

Since October 2023, PHRI has doubled its activity in the West Bank and is sending two weekly mobile clinic visits to help communities that are cut off from medical treatment due to the severe wave of settler and military violence, movement restrictions, and the financial crisis in the West Bank.

PHRI is currently unable to operate in Gaza due to restrictions by the Israeli authorities, and have been barred from delivering aid to the strip. PHRI is constantly working to resume these activities and will do so as soon as the circumstances allow.

We urge for an immediate ceasefire, the return of all hostages, and a peaceful future for all inhabitants of this troubled land.
