[0231 & 0232] Drvg Cvltvre: American Psychosis

Release Date: 14-04-2014

Format: 12" vinyl + digital

Drvg Cvltvre – American Psychosis [part1]
Shipwrec proudly present one of the pioneers of Dutch electronics. For some twenty years Vincent Koreman has been honing his sound, releasing on a plethora of labels such as Bunker, KK, Viewlexx, Mighty Robot Recordings and his own Angelmaker Records. Under the mask of Drvg Cvltvre brutish 303 soaked anger is being doled out. An Acid washed Industrial wrath comes in the form of American Psychosis [Part one]. “Acid Flash” sees a new collaboration with Bournmouth’s Chris Moss Acid for a burning piece of aggression. Violent knob squawk is further punished by bullying beats, cruel claps and some late night horror. “I’ll Wear Your Face On A Chain” has the same red mist behind the eyes. Shrill 303 chords run into abrasive drums with darkened vocals prophesising pain. Orwellian electronics : “If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face.” The vinyl comes in a printed discosleeve with drawings by Rutger Termohlen. “Part two” will have an outer sleeve to contain both records and another 3 drawings to complete “American Psychosis”, including locked grooves on all sides!

Drvg Cvltvre – American Psychosis [part2]
Following on from the first part in April, Shipwrec proudly serve up a second instalment of the American Psychosis project by pioneering Dutch producer Drvg Cvltvre, who has previously released on the likes of Viewlexx, Bunker and Porn Wax, next to his own New York Haunted label. Drvg Cvltvre is known for his experimental and boundary pushing sounds and it’s no different here, on either track. The first, ‘March into Nothingness’ is a truly bleak and foreboding affair with serrated synths and thick, dense fog hanging in the air above slow and purposeful drums. Like a post apocalyptic industrial estate it is a raw and arresting place to be. ‘Drown Into The Eternal Twilight’ is then an even harder edge techno stomper with angry synth lines, tough drums and tons of white noise darkening the foreboding airwaves. The artwork here is by Dutch artist Rutger Termohlen – who made five unique drawings, which are used throughout the artwork. Both parts come in a fully printed disco sleeve, but as part 2 completes the package this will be available in an outer sleeve with the last of the five drawings on the front cover. Again both sides have some locked grooves as well.
