Die Verboten - "Live in Eivissa"

'Live In Eivissa' is the world-wide debut release by Die Verboten, an audio-visual side-project that can best be described as ‘space music’, bringing together the musical and visual talents of Soulwax, Riton and Fergadelic.

Die Verboten is a project that uses the studio as a compositional machine & a sound laboratory; a project that integrates sound & image.

This hand-numbered and stamped first edition includes an exclusive, 12" vinyl-only release of 'Live In Eivissa', an 18-minute epic recorded in Ibiza, on the A-side, and a unique laser-etched artwork on the B-side.

Also included is a unique 'pop-up' pyramid artwork whose geometric configuration is designed to focus the deep cosmic powers of the vinyl housed inside.



Created by artist Fergadelic, the folding pyramid features tapestry artwork and treated photographs taken at the Die Verboten recording sessions in Ibiza.



Inner sleeve also features exclusive artwork, and a list of all the analogue synthesizers and studio kit used in the sessions.

'Live In Eivissa' pressed on super-heavyweight 200-gram 12" vinyl crafted on the legendary EMI 1400.

Club Dogo - "Notte Killer"

Club Dogo is an italian hip-hop band: in 2003 started with their first album MI FIST (i think this is their best album, 'cause after MI FIST they became a bit too gangsta...ah ah, ok we live in Italy but you can't always rap about bitches, parties, cocaine and mafia!)

There are different great songs in MI FIST album, such as Cronache di resistenza or Indecifrabili (feat. Lamaislam) and of course Notte Killer:



A friend of mine send me this great sample ID from Rotterdam!
(Thank you Ema)

In this song, Club Dogo used a sample taken from It's a Shame by Alton Ellis, the king of rocksteady !
