3x10 by Various Artists

The original vinyl (lathe cut) was done by Peter King Records in New Zealand, then shipped to the Netherlands, where we labeled them manually by cutting round stickers from decoration material. The triple singles were tightly wrapped in old fashioned wallpaper, and marked with a potato stamp. the meaningless logo resembled a mirrored K, or some kind of insect.

Each set included a DVD with video clips, made by local artists and friends. The video project’s code name was SVP2, as a follow up to SVP (Shitcluster Videoclip Project). The rules of the project were: use or abuse the soundtrack in any way you like.

The packages were sold non-profit, and most of them were bought even before the records had arrived from overseas. The sound quality of the records was way below average and varied per record.

A release party was held in De Illusie, former residence of Bunker records and Radio Tonka, and the oldest squat in The Hague at the time (it was evicted and torn down earlier this year). Shitcluster, Unit Moebius (anonymous) and S.W.M. played live, and 2 deejays cleared the space afterwards.

"The world is coming to an end, but we don’t care, because we’re moon-tan nocturnal, vinyl consuming animals drifting easy through friendly space. An analog trance, nothing can doom this groove; we’re controlling the vibe, manipulating the madness, sucking in the energy and we’ve cosmic nerving endings, telling us how to move, what to do, where to go and then we know, that it’s time to let go!"
