Agent Side Grinder + Desolation Colony //Urban Spree, Berlin

aufnahme + wiedergabe presents: Agent Side Grinder (live) [Progress Productions] electronic/post-punk/industrial monster www.agentsidegrinder.com Desolation Colony (live) [Mannequin] post-punk www.facebook.com/desolationcolony + aufnahme + wiedergabe DJs Genre-wise Swedish Agent Side Grinder has always existed in some kind of twilight zone. Deeply rooted in early electronic and industrial music as well as proto and post punk, their sound is driven by iterative, suggestive beats and sudden bursts of untamed ferocity — built on equal parts dissonant samples and elegant melodies. Desolation Colony materialized in the summer of 2019 in the brutal New Orleans heat. While on tour in Europe with Azar Swan, Joshua Strachan became equally inspired by the writing of Jeff VanderMeer and the spaces and sound systems of the venues Azar Swan was playing. After sketching several pieces of music, he invited fellow Wierd Records alum Justin Vial (Kindest Lines) to contribute additional elements, and enlisted longtime collaborator Kris Lapke (Alberich, Prurient) to mix.
