Mastino Surfers – Lovely melodies [New Romanian Weird]

Mastino Surfers is an instrumental music group consisting of two surfers who aren’t surfers but sexy italian interdimensional guard dogs who do it better, or the other way around. Șerban Ursachi is a physicist who isn’t a physicist but a musician, or the other way around, while Sebastian Big is a philosopher who isn’t a philosopher but a painter, or the other way around. Musically speaking, the two are like mute singing Protestant pastors who aren’t Protestant pastors but Gregorian monks, or the other way around. They don’t always make music, but when they do, they don’t. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the blinkenlights!

Sharif Abu Ammar – Volume 1 [NRW]

Sharif Abu Ammar (b. 1968) is a sonic agitator, cultural theorist and elusive musician who emerged from the late ‘80s transnational acid house circuits. Blurring the lines between history, memory, secrecy, and the future, he was raised between the shadow of colonial histories and the neon glare of global capitalism. His work fuses decolonial critique and the commodification of underground music, subverting both the hedonism of the scene and the exotifying gaze of the West.
