Beograd (Belgrade in Serbian) is a four-piece Serbian electronic band, formed in the capital of the former Yugoslavia in 1980. Influenced by bands such as Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Ultravox, and Human League, it played a role pioneer on the Yugoslav synth-pop scene. Their first studio album, Remek Depo, was released in late 1982 on cassette and early 1983 on vinyl by public label PGP RTB. It was a huge media success, released at the time of the effervescence of Belgrade's alternative scene, a vibrant underground movement of avant-garde artists and musicians that included leading bands such as Sarlo Akrobata, Ekatarina Velika, Idoli, and Electricni Orgazam. Unfortunately, the band disbanded shortly after the album's release. The album contains politically provocative lyrics for the time. Produced by Sasa Habić, it stands out for the quality of its guest musicians -- timpanist Borislav "Bora Longa" Pavićević, avant-garde saxophonist Paul Pignon, and veteran jazz trumpeter Stjepko Gut -- who contributed to its soulful side, creating a unique combination of hot and cold.

A state-of-the-art '80s Yugoslavian new wave reissue. Lubljana-based band new wave archive finally repressed. Videosex was the biggest Yugoslav electronic pop band, formed in Ljubljana in 1982. Their singer Anja Rupel sung on Laibach's 1988 version of the Beatles' "Across the Universe" and their drummer Iztok Turk produced early Laibach records. The release of their eponymous debut album in 1984 and the subsequent major live and TV performances propelled the young band into major stardom. The follow-up was highly anticipated: in March 1985, Videosex released Lacrimae Christi to critical and general acclaim. In comparison with the first album, the production on the Lacrimae Christi was state-of-the-art, as the most modern recording and composing techniques were used. The songs "Sivi dan" ("Gloomy Day") and "Tko je zgazio gospođu mjesec" ("Who Ran Over Mrs. Moon") became nationwide hits. For fans of early new wave sounds, Bronski Beat, Propaganda, Denis & Denis. 180 gram, gold vinyl.

A true gem from the Yugoslavian underground EBM scene of the '80s. Lubljana-based band EBM archive finally repressed. When theater students were fighting in music against repression and taboos. Borghesia is a Slovenian multimedia/electronic/rock group, created in 1982. The band was formed by members of underground theater group called FV-112/15. Borghesia created its aesthetics using the imagery of what was prohibited, tabooed, and repressed. Their sound is often compared to that of other groups in the period such as Nitzer Ebb and Front 242, the chief instigators of Electronic Body Music. Ogolelo Mesto, originally released only in Yugoslavia in 1988 is surely one of the underestimated nugget from the boiling EBM scene of that era, with underground hits such as "Naked Uniformed Dead" and "No Hope No Fear". This compilation of songs, initially recorded for the Belgian independent label Play It Again Sam, that they wrongly never released, and is finally available again on vinyl 35 years after its original release. Clear, 180 gram vinyl.

Karlowy Vary, formerly known as Korowa Bar (taken from the cult novel and the Kubrick film A Clockwork Orange) was an underground alternative/new wave band formed in 1981. They were based in Zagreb, Croatia and toured extensively all over the former Yugoslavia. The band initial plan was to release three albums. A demo session was planned in 1982 together with new-wave bands Sexa and Dorian Gray for a compilation release. Unfortunately, Dorian Gray cancelled and the whole project was scrapped. The first album called Haotika (1984) was actually recorded, but it was not released due to various reasons. It was at around that time that Tomo in der Mühlen befriended keyboard player Margita Stefanović (aka Magi), key member of one of the best ever Yugoslavian new wave bands: Ekatarina Velika (later known as EKV), during recording of their second album in Zagreb. The two bands cooperated closely and Magi co-wrote two songs on La Femme, played the Oberheim OB8 synth on all tracks and designed the cover. After two failed attempts the band recorded La Femme with the help of Dragan Simonovski (drums) and Rista Ibrić (violin). The album was originally released by label PGP RTB (part of Serbian National TV). It consists of eight songs including a rendition of T-Rex's '70s hit "Get It On". Although the band officially released only one album, La Femme is without a doubt one of the best Yugoslavian underground rock albums of the '80s. It still sounds fresh almost 40 years later. Professionally remastered from original masters. For fans of: Magazine, The Chameleons, Martin Dupont, Modern English, Videosex. Sky blue, 180 gram vinyl.

This is the third installment in Matrix Music's Detroit Connection series, which was launched by an album from Kevin Saunderson and continued with a mix by DJ-3000. It is also the world's first-ever completely digital mix series using Scratch Live technology and tracks only available digitally. On this mix, DJ Godfather shows off his ghetto tech booty styles, coming right at you with hard-hitting lyrics and fast, dirty beats and bass lines. This is a mouth-watering collection, mixing up elements from techno, electro, Miami bass, Detroit ghetto and hip-hop. In addition, the mix is given a live club feel, hosted and MC'd by DJ Omega. Coming straight out of Detroit, the ghetto-tech/booty sound has spent many years developing and evolving at street level; however, it is only recently that it has finally burst onto the international circuit. This seriously fast and furious sound contains the most explicit attitude to lyrical content and upfront bass that the world has ever seen, creating a no-nonsense, ass-shaking, booty-bouncing example of ghetto expression that is infectious. The CD is a monster-mix consisting of no less than 66 tracks, ripping through a catalog of booty classics from ghetto superstars such as DJ Rashad, DJ Nasty, DJ Deeon, DJ Omega, Chi Boogie, Erotek, Aaron Carl and of course, DJ Godfather. It bumps, beats and scratches for over an hour of technical skill and straight-up slamming ghetto tech to provide you with the most direct, pitched-up and explicit collection of Detroit's finest and filthiest. Other artists include: DJ Spin, AUX 88, Mister Ries, DJ Surgeon, DJ Clint, Starski, Audiopervert, Non Stop DJs, Dr. Jiffy and Six Foe.
