OUT next on POWER IT UP the longer than expected vinyl version from the GÄSTEZIMMER CD. 

Almost 25 years of YACØPSÆ … Time for a tribute?  Not at all!  The band still like the AMEBIX slogan: “No gods, no masters”!  Nevertheless, YACØPSÆ was always well-known for brewing out some freaky ideas (just check their huge output and you’ll know what we mean), so the concept of a “Guest room” EP was born, whilst we were hanging around somewhere and joking about how to celebrate the “next” anniversary!  Actually, no big deal … Eventually, the band invited a bunch of different people from around the globe to “sing” for them.  15 tracks, each one lasting about 30 seconds, and placed twice (subdivided in two sides: male/ female).  All participants had to create own lyrics and to record the vocals by their own.  In addition, each person needed to write down a few neutral sentences about the very first encounter with YACØPSÆ, and sending a photo.  Basically, the whole idea is not that new or original, though the list of our guests is impressive, so here we go:

Additionally, a bunch of 45 kids in the age between 3 and 5 years is singing “Brother Jakob” in five different speeches (German, English, French, Turkish, and Spanish).  Think about where we got our name from, eh?  Stoffel went to a friend’s kindergarten to organize the huge choir of cute and awesome kids, and to record the tracks, exclusively.  The stuff will be used as intro, midtro and outro. 

Germany’s fastcore band No.  1 SANITYS DAWN founded in the early 90s.  Well known after several worldwide releases (several albums and split releases, with bands like EXHUMED, MAGRUDERGRIND, YACÖPSAE, NYCTOPHOBIC etc.)  After 8 years of waiting they recorded six new songs of Braincrushing FastCore Madness for the current EP.  Although one can say, even after more than 20 years in the business scene, Sanitys Dawn has not diminished of hardness and speed.  The 7 “EP comes in a noble inside-outside printed cardboard sleeve.  Very nice presentation. 

Bristol Punk Pioneers DISORDER formed around 1980, Disorder is one of the few ‘big’ names of UK hardcore still going strong today.  The LP contains their live recordings from the Sneek Festival Gig in april 2014 raw and very intense.  Nine tracks of traditional UK noisepunk.  Legendary Show!!!! 

No more words needed!!!!!!!!!! 

The other side contains the next big name, AGATHOCLES mince core gods from belgium team up with 8 live mincecore attacks in perfect soundboard quality recorded at the Youthclub in Geel/Belgium march 2014.  The LP comes in an inside-outside printed cover.  Nice looking packaging.
