(Fu021) 15th Anniversary Compilation

May 2022 marks the 21st release to the legendary Furanum catalogue. A journey started 15 years ago and animated by a solid concept that kept a cutting edge production evolving and refining through the years, staying true to a strong identity that never even gave a nod to the tendencies.This anniversary compilation stands out as a diverse affair, well glued together by the dim vibe of the underground; harsh, caustic features shaped upon an uncompromised, purely industrial background. The 21 contributions included in the release come both from renowned icons and promising newcomers, forging a potent symbiosis of harsh textures, drones and profound ambiences that thanks to their diversity and to the heterogeneity of the collection, manage to propose an engaging listening that never ceases to arouse curiosity. It's an accessible top-quality entry point for young listeners, as much as it is a meaningful exploration for the more advanced public, since different styles and layers of experimental complexity are serving the tight aesthetic proposal precisely. A package that could be addressed to the future dancefloors or different environments, and that will be premiered and celebrated at the Furanum Anniversary in Suicide Club, Berlin on the 7th of May.

Mastered by Dominik Müller, The 15th Anniversary Compilation will be available on a double C60 cassette and in digital format as of 2022.05.06.

Cut The Wire

There is a humanitarian crisis at the Polish-Belarusian border. Since early August hundreds of people seeking international protection, coming from the Middle East, South Asia, and northern and middle Africa are crossing the external European Union border. Polish border troops are facilitating a process which is both nationally and internationally recognized as illegal, the so-called pushbacks. This brutal practice pushes the refugees from Polish territory back under the gunpoint of Belarusian border patrol who then use the same tactic and push the people back onto the Polish side. Consequently, the exhausted migrants are repeatedly chased away from one side to the other. Polish border patrol keeps ignoring the refugees’ repeated declarations telling them that they want to seek international protection in Poland. It breaches the law, according to which the border patrol should accept the application for protection and start adequate procedures and not keep these people outdoors for weeks. The temperatures in Eastern Poland are dropping day by day, which will cause more deaths by hypothermia, starvation, and exhaustion. On 19th September Polish border troops found the bodies of three people who had died of hypothermia. On the same day, the Belarusian authorities informed about the death of a woman who died in the company of her three children. On 24 September Polish authorities informed about another death, of a man from Iraq.Polish organizations supporting foreigners have been involved in aiding the people on the border from the very beginning of the current crisis. They were communicating with them over loudspeakers while the border troops were not allowing for any humanitarian or medical aid to reach the refugees, denying them even food or freshwater. On 3 September the Polish government decided to implement a state of emergency in the cross-border areas, which has not been done since 1981 when martial law was introduced in Poland. What it means in practice is a drastic clampdown on the aid organizations and their access to the cross-border areas as well as fewer journalists who could document the situation on-site. The people on the border have been left without any help from the outside. No one controls the actions of the authorities anymore.The situation at the Polish border breaks our hearts. We strongly disagree with the racist politics of the Polish government which leads to the deaths of innocent people, who are seeking refuge and a chance for a better life in the European Union. As Oramics, we want to support Fundacja Ocalenie (Rescue Foundation) who has been helping the migrants on the front line since day one and they facilitate easier access to a new life in an unknown country.We have collected music from Polish and international artists and all the proceeds from the sales of the tracks will be given to Rescue Foundation.
