Happy republic day SFR Yugoslavia, our pride, joy and bright spark to all Slavic peoples, but most importantly to all humanity! As our anthem does equally speak to Russians, Ukrainians – but so does to all repressed peoples of the world, all religions, and literally all peoples – poor, rich, stupid, intelligent… to all humans.

Murdering human rights and privacy to deal with script-kiddies? We can’t wait for EU!

Oliver Spasovski has literally went public and said all people who use VPNs are targeted and could be suspects for being cybercriminals, this is not hybrid regime, this is a fascist dictatorship.

Middle-East is bleeding & the diplomats show who they are

You know, I could go and criticise the Israeli government for ages about their occupation in Palestine, however if I would say that Hamas Rules (and mean it literally, unlike Shackleton’s tune with the same title which was just a message to share about what is going on in Palestine to those who dig-deeper) and agree with their terrorism, it would mean I’m equally hypocritical and blind to the terror done by the others.

TKNS — Caecus Nervi

reviews techno

29 March 2023

In the vast world of groove-ridden art such as techno, many of the offerings are simply reinternations of what a certain tune made work, often the same ideas get recycled in slightly different packages, and most importantly it’s often that the producer loses his vision and meaning with the sound he delivers. But if we were to get stuck at what the mainstream (even of the underground) offers, we’d be in depression and crying out loud that nothing is good anymore, that things aren’t as they used to be, just a general negative connotation of music.

electro reviews

12 February 2023

Year 2007 was a different universe for Macedonia, just 6 years before we have somehow survived a civil war, and a year back in 2006 the controversial right-wing dictator Nikola Gruevski had started his 10 year reign which left the country decapitated and split like never before, effects which will be felt for many years to follow. In this times of uncertainty like never before, PMG Kolektiv drop their debut “Rezonator” with political messages on one side, and pure fun hits on the other.

The DJ & The War Crimes

balkan-scenes editorial

12 January 2023 — Published on Rolling Stone

Just before New Years, Rolling Stone dropped a bomb of investigative journalism — Thirty years after a death squad massacred civilians in Bosnia, none of the infamous Arkan’s Tigers have stood trial for their alleged part in those crimes. And for the past few decades, one of them has been spinning trance records at European festivals and clubs.

There is no need to re-write this or comment, the original article is simply something anyone who is curious about the state of the Balkans and its positioning of rotten people in the every sphere, including the cultural one (and even electronic music). These people are everywhere, in every form, in every former Yugoslav country. There is no place for fascists in music, in culture, in society. Death to fascism, freedom to the people!

Ravers and raverettes, last weekend as I was browsing through some internet pages to discover new music from the industrial sphere of sonics, I stumbled upon this guy Speedy J, a name that I’ve encountered several times before, but for some reason never went beyond to explore his offerings.
