Hey dude
Last year was a pure hell, hard work and random troubles force me to stop doing stuff for a while.
Now at the beginning of the new year I’m more than happy to close with 2009 and in a sort of good feeling I re-start to work again on second sleep.
I finally move my spot, a big house in the fields so pay attention to my new address
Matteo castro, Via Madonna Salute 25, 31020, S. Vendemmiano (TV), Italy
I’m very proud to present these releases, some of these were in the making for more than a year.
Thanks.
Matteo.

SS012 VöLVA – bloom in nimbus 3xCDr
Volva is the duo made by george proctor (mutant ape/turgid animal) and Francesco raucci (ex scarbox records/ex lexes).
After a single tape on turgid animal this is the second and last effort for this short live project.
What volva do with this box is a sort of sound-track for a noir film. If you can regroup all under the moniker of harsh noise there’s much more on it: “quiet” parts, basses, synths and melodies under the wall of sound, plus a very strong approach to create “songs” wich they describe something as chapters of an imaginary movie, edition of 50 copies.
SS022 WW – inner shine C20
More ritualistic and quiet than the previous releases, this italian trio with member of octaven, kam hassah and von archives compile the perfect sound for insomniac nights. Two tracks heavily influenced by the Italian industrial school.
SS023 CULVER – electric girl C48
Some musicians seem to be more interested on being active at internet level and talking about music more than playing it. Lee Stroke, on the other hand, head of matching head label and Culver, leave the music, alone, to speak of itself.
Two long and slow evolving tracks of subterranean drones and low key electronics.. totally dark ballades with distant keyboard melodies, edition of 50 copies.
SS026 DEAD BODY LOVE – nechronology 8xCS box
After an year in the making I’m very proud to announce this, finally out
DBL is simply the best project of harsh noise here in italy.. during the nineties he released a consistent amount of tapes for labels as old europa cafè, slaughter productions and his own less than zero. With this box we try to put in the most rare recordings they do, b sides and unreleased stuff.
What you can find in is:
Prayers for the sick (1995)
Audiocide 95 (1995)
Stand in blood (1995)
Annihilation devices (1996)
Horror of the human body / human-machine (1996)
Annihilation devices 2 (1997)
Split with atrax morgue / b side (1995/2004)
Bacteria 3 (2008)
Comes in a cardboard box with paste on cover, every tapes housed in a sigle case with different artworks, edition of 60 copies.
SS027 CONQUERORS – history navy C40
Conquerors is a new Italian project, this is his first recorded material and what he do here is a concept about the first world war. Musically this could be translated as an intense mix of minimal and concrete layers with a dynamic assault of harsh waves and basses.
