Reviews & Discussion

Review by ompe Oct 15, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
Cavage is one of the strangest record labels I have encountered. Not only is their musical output utterly baffling - ranging from fractured electronics, to deliriously druggy hip-hop, to breakcore, to demented pop music, and beyond - but the label's aesthetic and rhetoric is totally out-there. They organise parties in catacombs, and, from what i recall, in one interview, label founder(s) UHT/Saoulaterre claims they do so in order to incite the rats to rise up out of the sewers and take over the streets. Nihilistic, lysergic humor is present in everything they do, and it's a blessing in the often dour and stern world of extreme electronics.
