TOWN BUSINESS: THE TRUE IMPORTANCE OF DJ SCREW’S GRAY TAPES By Dafydd McKaharay (From Thee Krypteia   No.2 2017)  Anyone who has made compiled 90 minutes worth of songs to impress a lad or lass they like knows the import of the mixtape. Far more than a promotional tool, or a DJ showcase, the magic of the mixtape is the fact that it conveys a message in a very unique way. Just like the DJ mix that it imitates, its power is its ability to create a singular message from the sum of many parts. A collection of songs that joins forces to tell one story. It is easy to get lost in the obvious mystique of DJ Screw’s legendary “Gray Tapes”. The hypnotic, slow tempo often draws one into a narcosis, only heightened by the generational hiss and sibilance unintentionally created by both the process of slowing the music down and the archival limitations of Screw’s choice of 100 Minute Hi Bias Metal Maxell. It is, indeed, this psychedelia that made Robert Earl Davis Jr. famous as an innovator.

I have made a bunch ov zines through Clan Destine I've decided to archive some bits, here is an interview with Detroit's mighty Marshall Applewhite from Thee Krypteia No. 2 back in 2017 Who the fvck are you and what do you want? I am George Michael and I want your sex! What drew you to thee Heavens Gate? I have always had an extreme fascination with suicide cults and aliens. Heavens Gate kinda played into both of those fascinations. OktoRed, Marshall Applewhite, any other aliases you record under? Break em down for us OktoRed covers most of my bass music stuff i.e. dubstep, grime, moombahton and an occasional house tune. Marshall Applewhite encompasses all things slow and gritty i.e. Sludge Cocky Balboa fills my ghettotech/footwork end of things. And I'm the less beautiful half of Gauche Kids, an ongoing project with my friend Lise from Paris focusing on all sorts of odd, chill melodic electronica. How did you get together with thee How To Kill cr

WAMPYRIC RITES - OPIUM GRAVE - EVIL FOREST - SCOPE OF THE PARADOX - Pure Tyranny of Rawness ( A Compendium of LoFi Raw Black Metal) This is a great 4 way comp ov LoFi raw asf Black Metal with some Dungeon Synth, DSBM and Blackwave elements. Featuring, Scope of the Paradox (Ecuador) / Opium Grave (Australia) / Wampyric Rites (Ecuador) / Evil Forest (Chile) I got into this via Opium Grave who has released some ov the best BM/Blackwave/Black Ambient I've heard for awhile, and I also got to take the opening track ov the Clan Destine Records 10 year compilation Life Ist Krieg. I know fvck all about the other bands but they all have their sounds and the whole thing comes together really well. So i'll be checking for more from them.  The soundtrack to when you can ginally walk on the bones ov most ov humanity, misanthropic, unhinged and slightly mental. Or in their own words: This split release is a bestial manifestation of iron will, forged in a rotten

STRIBORG - IN DEEP CONETEMPLATION There's so much generic shit in music atm. Not that its all bad, there are so any good sounds around, but trends do rule so called 'underground' today. What happened to all thee no fvcks given outsiders just doing whatever they wanted too, because they just could. I guess you just have to look deeper in the interwebs tangled bullshit these days to find them. Striborg is one ov these outsiders, and has been for a long time. Releasing album after album for 25 years ov raw black metal and even some dungeon synth all on his own. But in 2018 he released an lp called Blackwave and changed shit up going even further outside, creating the sub genre 'Blackwave' with thee release. A mix ov cold wave with BM vokills. Here is his latest blackwave effort, In Deep Contemplation. A mix ov witch house, coldwave, some dungeon synth textures, even some EBM beats and industrial noises, all topped off (apart from some minimal clean vo

Sun Dogs - Lies, Murder, Kaos (Last Europa Kiss) I have always been a massive fan ov Death In June's discography. The post punk years, the dance inflected records, the industrial collabs, the straight neofolk ones (not so much the piano shit). There's an obvious DIJ influence to this Sun Dogs tape. The label is even named after a DIJ song. Sun Dogs a collab between Alessio De Felice (Tara In Tibet/No Nation/DJ $ludg£/She Lost Kontrol Recs) and multimedia artist Alison Flora (who makes some great paintings with her own blood), definitely have their own sound though. A great mix ov Neofolk and industrial electronics. The electronics are heavy and jarring, the guitars and vocals bright making a great balance in sound. The lyrics are on some nihilistic shit, all in all a great tape to search out. The label has disappeared off bandcamp so good luck. Tara In Tibet - The Sacred Circle Of Lucia (Last Europa Kiss) When it comes to butter I always buy the tasty shit. T
