Since 2021, the critically acclaimed Next Wave Acid Punx series has seen Luca Venezia, aka Curses, celebrate the music that has shaped both his life and career. Across the first two compilations Luca took listeners from the industrial and post-punk sounds of the late '70s, through the emergence of EBM, new beat and freestyle in the 1980s and onto the music he both makes and plays himself in clubs today. Bringing the series to a close Next Wave Acid Punx TROIS sees the Berlin-based musician and DJ return full circle, this time exploring the sounds that first initiated him into Brooklyn's rave scene and the music that, in some way, continues to embody its eclectic spirit today. Spread across three 2LPs and 3CDs Next Wave Acid Punx TROIS captures a moment whose influence can still be heard reverberating around clubland today. Featuring 46 hard-to-find, new and exclusive tracks, Next Wave Acid Punx TROIS both documents that fertile period and shows how, despite rumors to the contrary, that early anarchic spirit can still be found today. Featuring Cybex Factor, Space Trax, Metropolis, Megabeat, Robotiko Rejekto, P II Syndicate, Model 500, New Scene, Age Of Love, Interactive, Die Krupps & Nitzer Ebb, Konzept, Skila, Perdí La Luz, ROTCIV, C.ru.z, Facets, Kasbaraine, Josh Ludlow, Leona Jacewska, Church of Ajijik, Digitalism, Phunkadelica & Dina Summer, Acid Washed & Ubu Noir, Orion Agassi, Brixx & Stockholm Syndrome AU, A.M.Q.N., Gunce Aci, Avni Ertepe, In Trance 95, Italo Deviance, GOTT, ESTADO DE BIENESTAR & Dark Vektor, Iggor Cavalera & P.I.M., Innershades, Kendal & Andi, Sesto Senso, Tronik Youth, VELVET VELOUR, Radondo & Neu-Romancer, Zaatar & Mike Sacchetti, RAKANS, Younger Than Me, Lourene, Javi Redondo, Primal Baby, Mala Ika & Tutto Vetro, and Harlem Electronics.

Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX is the second compilation for Eskimo Recordings compiled and curated by Berlin-based Musician and DJ Luca Venezia, aka Curses, to explore the darker side of club music. Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX features a mammoth 49 tracks that join the dots between early industrial pioneers Throbbing Gristle, EBM legends like Nitzer Ebb, and the post-punk experiments of people like Malcolm McLaren and Big Audio Dynamite with some of the most exciting artists around today, such as Boy Harsher, Nuovo Testamento, and Years of Denial. Where the first Next Wave Acid Punx compilation was a personal journey for Luca, a lockdown inspired exploration of his record collection to find the thread that ran through the music that had soundtracked much of his life, DEUX is a celebration of that music let loose on the world, the thrill of music performed live, the smoke and strobe filled clubs you'll hear it in and the artists you'll find on those stages. Featuring Mary Möör, Sad Lovers & Giants, Cabaret Voltaire, Clan Of Xymox, In Sotto Voce, Psyche, Propaganda, DAF, Vicious Pink, Book Of Love, Absolute Body Control, Boytronic, The KVB, Cardinal & Nun, Jennifer Touch, Matrixxman, Years Of Denial, Silver Tears, Essaie Pas, Aili x Transistorcake, Dina Summer, Patriarchy, Maelstrom & Louisahhh, Dame Area, Kris Baha, Desire, Blind Delon, I Hate Models, Poison Point, Roe Deers, Mariana Saldaña, Silent Servant, J.W.B. Hits The Beat, Hungry Boys, Autumns, Buzz Kull, Soft Crash, Dame Bonnet & Mufti, Ultra Sunn, Neu-Romancer, EVA, Andi vs Randolph & Mortimer, Zanias, The Hacker, and Paradox Obscur.

Next Wave Acid Punx is a 38-track journey across nearly 40 years of dark club music compiled and curated by Berlin-based Musician and DJ, Luca Venezia aka Curses. Curses' set takes you from music by Colourbox and Suicide to EBM pioneers, Front 242 through to recent club hits from Zombies in Miami, and 12 brand new, totally exclusive tracks from the likes of Shubostar, Chinaski, and Curses himself. Exploring the darker side of club music, Next Wave Acid Punx traces decades of a musical passion and joins the dots between the EBM, new beat, Italo and acid house tracks of the 1980s to present music of today. "Putting together a compilation like this is a strange experience. I've never been one to stay still too long. Whether as a musician, DJ, or producer I'd never wanted to tie myself down to one scene or one sound, always looking to move on before I'd maybe run a project completely dry. With an album you create a snapshot of who you are during that time in life, with a DJ set maybe just that night, but this felt more like trying to sum up a lifetime of musical experiences . . . The first chapter takes early tracks from bands who came directly out of the punk and new wave scenes, that played a major role in forming my musical taste. The second chapter celebrates current music influenced by these early pioneers, while the third chapter comprises exclusive new music made for this compilation, with the passion for these genres in mind..." --Luca Venezia (Berlin, February 2021)

DA 007LP

Romantic Fiction, the debut LP from Curses, is an honest musical expression drawing influences from his youth growing up in NYC in the '80s. References to new wave, post-punk, synth music and early EBM are skillfully merged with the DIY approach of punk and rock n' roll angst. Brandishing an immersive sonic palette, all instruments throughout the album were played and recorded by the artist. Exhausted by the current state of competitive dance music monotony, Romantic Fiction is a collection of songs, not DJ tools; songs that work at home, but also in the club should the right crowd beckon. It's about escapism and finding comfort in the unknown, fulfilling the empty void by embracing the mysterious. Darkness is a light undiscovered, not something to be frightened of. Curses invites friends who share a mutual love for incorporating post punk and new wave into contemporary electronic music. Perel delivers mighty Nina Hagen-esque operatic punk vocals on the first single, "Gold & Silber", whilst Dischi Autunno label boss Jennifer Cardini and Curses share a duet on the cold wave silk of "Silence In The Dark". As an amalgamation of influences from multiple decades, Romantic Fiction is a deeply personal album, triggering a feeling that is unnerving at times, familiar and welcoming at others.

INS 12013EP
|
"Institubes' latest record is a debut 12" coming straight from the deepest pit in hell -- Brooklyn. Curses is not a total rookie, though. Wrapped in this elegantly engineered cloak of mystery, is bass heavyweight champ, Drop The Lime. Under this new guise, he's all about reigniting the excitement of early '90s dance music. But he's so not retro. His peculiar brand of mutated house defies everything you think you know about 'proper club music.' He makes evil records that challenge you to play them out, LOUD, and then amply reward you for doing so."
