When I’m not listening to some vile Death Metal or some raging Hardcore Punk I’m blasting music that makes me DANCE! I can’t front, the Next Wave Acid Punk DEUX – Secret Cuts comp is full of tracks that will have y’all dancing NON -STOP! Real talk, there is not one whack song on this whole sonic affair. This comp is the perfect bridge between Punk and Dance music! I’m beyond stoked to share with y’all CURSE’s “Get Lost” below and make sure to check out the full record because you will not be disappointed!
One of the compilations of 2023 Curses‘ Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX saw the Berlin-based Musician and DJ explore the darker side of club music. Bringing together 49 tracks that joined the dots between early industrial pioneers, EBM legends and post-punk bands with some of the most exciting artists around today this was a celebration of the kind of raw electronic music best performed live in smoke filled clubs.
One might suspect that between this and the first equally acclaimed, and substantial, Next Wave Acid Punx album clubland’s gothic vaults might be eerily empty. But, just as every good live act knows, you should hold something special back for an encore, and so Curses is back with Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX – Secret Cuts, 11 bonus tracks that all deserve their own moment in the strobe light.
“Curating Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX was a big puzzle,” explains Curses. “Figuring out how to fit all these tracks across 6 different 12″s required a lot of calculations and, to be quite frank, I was never that great at maths. Unfortunately, this meant we had to cut some real heaters off of DEUX. But Eskimo and I decided that we couldn’t let these gems go to dust. I’ve been DJing them loads in my sets, so it was only fair to share them with y’all to DJ and rage to yourselves. So, here it is… the final blast of bonus tracks for Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX: Secret Cuts.”
