CSR020: Is▲Real - Strength EP

Last on our backlog is the long awaited EP of Is▲Real, and boy this does not disappoint.

After a bit of waiting, this drop would get you stoked on what Is▲Real could do with a full length album. K-hole inducing music that would suck you in deep and won't let you go, just for starters. These 6 songs are gonna be stuck on your ipod, not by choice, but by demand. You won't have the strength (pun intended) to climb out that hole and change the music, so just push repeat. You're welcome.

Ever his own worst critic, Is▲Real pushes himself into being ten times better after each song, and at the rate he is going, next release would be nothing short of stellar. But for now, go download Strength and blow your mind - snort a line of the finest horse powder and trip out.

CSR019: CR1M3LY - witch love: 1 EP x CSRMixtape003: G3T NUD3 F0R TH3 CULT

Dark, drag genius. That's what this is.

CR1M3LY drops her 2 track EP perfect for your next seance or virgin sacrifice. Pretty and sparse and dragged out, witch love: 1 is the future sound of the underground.

The only problem here is its only 2 songs. You are left wanting more of these songs, bordering into clawing your eardrums out. But don't. Not just yet. Because if this is what CR1M3LY has in-store for us all, we're seeing big things.

Let the darkness in.



BONUS SHIT!!!!

We asked the homegirl to make us a mix for the blog's mixtape series, and what she gave us is 20 minutes of some straight fucked up Project X soundtrack on better drugs. This is what's gonna be playing on your next Hangover screening after party, trust us. Springbreakers has nothing on this drop, we're telling yous.

Now go download that and fucking throw a party and trash your neighbour's house! DO IT!

CSR018: NULLSE† - SPELLBOUND

Oh real life, why do you suck out our time?

Anyway, enough excuses about late releases, lets just get down with the tunes and blow the spot. 1st out of our backlog is our homie nullse† with his 7th album to date.

Last time with left him, we were saying that dude can't be stopped. There's nothing but truth in that statement. Pairing fast paced hi hats to his dark, witchy trap this time around, nullse† gets in and demolishes each track, knocking it outta the park with a huge swing.

Download that bad boy for a dollar on nullse†'s Bandcamp. We've given you tons of free shit, a dollar out of your parent's pocket won't hurt. Besides, it goes directly to the artist, and artists need to eat too y'know. Now get to it! Consider that kool-aid money for The Cult.

And everyone knows we love our kool-aid around these parts.

CSR017: CR1M3LY - ŞAHESER

And lastly for our backlog roundup, there's CR1M3LY. Formerly known as Saat Bahar, she picks up where her last moniker left off and steps her game up into dizzying levels.

Its slowed down, drugged out, evil, ethereal beats oozing out of the digital manifolds of the internet - communing with the dead and speaking in tongues. This is analog machinery and digital VST seance, packaged in mp3s. Get your demons ready, they're all coming out after listening to this.

This wraps up our backlog. There are tons coming up in the coming months, so best check back like you always do. We heard CR1M3LY is making a mix? Aren't you not stoked yet?!

Shouts out to CR1M3LY's girl Julia who made the sick cover art! Check out her Tumblr.

CR1MELY - ŞAHESER

CSR016: NULLSE† - Fear & Wonder x Leftoverz II

Up second is nullse†'s new album Fear & Wonder.

At the rate he is going, dude would be releasing an album's worth of gems every month. Which is what he is actually doing! There is just no stopping this guy in dropping cold, witchy trap tunes - not even if hell freezes over.

Fear & Wonder expands nullse†'s onslaught forward and is poised to bring him into the consciousness of all the internet obsessed kids around the world. His tunes are what hypeblogs should be raving about, and sooner or later he will usurp the throne as the next big thing. But for now, just be glad he's asking for only a dollar for his albums. Its worth more than that, trust us.


BONUS!!

4 track, pay what you want, bonus EP! Leftoverz II! Remember the last one? If so, then you should be stoked for this!

CSR015: Mushroom, the Truth - Odds & Ends

Real life caught up with me so the releases are late to be, um, released. It would be awesome if running this label was my actual day job, but its not and I need to eat. Maybe one day, but not today. Sorry dudes.

BUT! In interest in making it up to you people who follow the cult, we're releasing our backlog all in one swoop! So I dunno, get stoked or some shit.

(Btw, we're now in Bandcamp! Why'd you look at that huh? The brightness of stepping into the future is blinding! Remember kids: cultshitmediablackout.bandcamp.com - BOOKMARK THAT SHIT)

First off we have Mushroom, the Truth with something old-new. Odds & Ends may be a gathering of his past songs from different points of his music making career, but its remarkably consistent and flows together nicely like it was actually made to be an album.

It covers all the bases. There's drone-y jamz that hark to the good old days of a superb Not Not Fun release (think Pocahaunted), weirdo freak folk layers, found sound collages, all dripping with psychedelia that you won't hear from any of the releases out today, especially locally.

CSR014: K▼L▲M†††B▲R▲NG - The Last ▲

Surprise, surprise lovers!

Its almost a year since we saw a proper album release from K▼L▲M†††B▲R▲NG. That split with happyboy whet our appetites and the 2 mixes made us dance, no matter how slow, but then - BAM! Out of nowhere, The Last ▲ sneaks its way in to your Valentines day like an unwanted pregnancy most of the people on Earth would have to face 9 months from now. Baby making music delivered right to your computer via your favorite cult record label!

We left KB last time with the chop and screw, crazy noise-crypt hop darkness, ushering evil around these parts. This time around though, we have a more focused affair of post-internet warblings, warping pop music into its grittier, somewhat more malevolent form. Oh but hey, its still Evil with a capital E, only its more mellowed out. More unexpected and ambient - like an attacker lurking in the shadows ready to gut you when you're not looking.

Here's your soundtrack for the love making you'll be doing tonight with your partner, partners or by yourself. Whichever you prefer it to be, we don't judge here in the cult. Go download that now!!

K▼L▲M†††B▲R▲NG - The Last ▲

OUTSIDE THE CULT: Bakecon x Brown Dwarf Records

Bakecon Lookbook Teaser from Tomi Uysingco on Vimeo.

Finally done with this little collab project of ours with Bakecon. But that's not to say this is the end of the collab. Nope not even close. Better kepp your eye for the next one. That shit is gonna be massive.

Big ups to our homies Rocket House Productions, Manila Massive and Blot Art Studio for the major help. Good looking out dudes. Check the video out then peep that lookbook that everyone is ranting and raving about. You should see the comments section down at Purveyr, man. Funniest stuff I've seen since the Grammy's this morning. We can't be bothered by trolls sipping on the haterade since, well, we're all trolls sipping on the haterade. SHWING!

Streetwear is dead, long live streetwear!

click on the picture to go to the Lookbook, and check out the catalogue while you're at it. DO IT!

Now, for something music related.

Our friends west from us, Brown Dwarf Records has this to say about the cult and our other homeboy Into Entropy Recordings. Its pretty sweet and they are now officially in the gang - without even the need of being jumped-in at the back parking lot of some stripmall in Compton or some shit.

Anyway.

Brown Dwarf Records are cool dudes and we'll be collaborating soon on something special. Hint: it spins around and your dad along with that one friend of yours that calls himself a hipster would flip over these. Got it? Shh. Don't tell anyone just yet.

CSR013: NULLSE† - The Space Between

There is just no stopping this guy.

A month ago, nullse† released his witchy trap opus BL∆CKM∆GIK and the more dance oriented LEFTOVERZ EP. Just short a couple of days, so technically its not even a month yet, nullse† is back once again for another round.

This time around nullse† re-evaluates his sound and expands on it by setting up better traps to ensnare them bitches. The dragged out darkness of his house styled synths envelopes his minimalist production, and this keeps you from pushing forward. It keeps you there, trapped.

After releasing consecutive albums and EPs in rapid succession, ALL FOR FREE, its time to give back my dudes. What's a dollar to a whole album's worth of awesome music, right? You won't even get that kinda savings on your shitty iTunes. Plus, it goes all to the artist (we don't even have a cut!) so he could eat and keep on making dopeness rain. So go borrow your mom's credit card and download that shit!

NULLSE† - The Space Between

CSR012: NULLSE† - BL∆CK M∆GIK x LEFTOVERZ EP

Get trapped homie.

In the span of just two releases, that prolific warlock of witchy trap evil nullse† is back already with his follow up to BE∆RCR∆FT. Filled with blood, sugar, sex, and black magik, this new release is something you jam on mollys, or whatever the fuck you kids are into these days. 2013 dudes - get wasted and kill yourself!

Sooner or later nullse† is gonna go up in black smoke, casting spells with straight Crowley status, living underneath the wires and fiber cables connected to your precious internet, and just start wilding out Columbine style... but 'til then we have these dope jamz to fuck to. So better get on clicking homeslice.

Man, time flies when you're having rum. (FYI I'm buzzedddd as fuuuckk duuude!)

NULLSE† - BL∆CK M∆GIK

BONUS!!!!

To solidify his status as the most prolific motherfucker this side of cyberspace, our man released this dancey little EP as primer-slash-accompaniment to his latest album.

It looks like 2013 is shaping to be an awesome year for the cult. Get saved or go to heaven and be lame!

Now download Leftoverz.

NULLSE† - LEFTOVERZ EP

CSR011: Cult Shit Media Blackout presents The Pyramid Head

Happy new year and all that jazz ghoulies.

This needs no introduction at all so we won't even bother trying. The long awaited, held up numerous times because of fate and happenstance, CSMB label sampler is finally fucking here. And man, it sure as hell doesn't disappoint.

Its got the past hits, the exclusives and the yet to be released shit -- IT HAS EVERYTHING AND THE KITCHEN SINK! We're telling ya - *Vince Vaughn voice* its money.

Peep the tracklist:

What did we tell ya? Money. Download that motherfucker NOW.

Cult Shit Media Blackout presents The Pyramid Head

CSRMixtape002: DJ Dragoste Winter Chill Mix

A couple of months ago we announced that DJ Dragoste is making a mix for the cult. But then it got sidetracked because homie's computer got hacked and for a second there we thought all of his shit got deleted into oblivion. Super glad that wasn't the case.

So outta the swamps of Louisiana emerges this Dragoste mix crafted for nights of the cold winter - this is something to get heated on and blazed to. Its hot, steamy, in-n-out animal style, syrup thick, gvcci goth best experienced with headphones, rolling on E and ketamine. Trust us.

If music has a color this mix would be dark purple.

Bump this on your christmas parties and watch the people go ape shit and fucking on the streets. Do it before the cosmic owl eats us!

DJ Dragoste Winter Chill Mix

CSR010: NULLSE✝ - BE∆RCR∆FT

It's a trap!

No, not really, it's just our homeboy NULLSE✝ bringing the evil. Mad evil that gives Salem a run for their money, with the southern trap clap and bass heavy synths that ups the evil to 11. You'll notice that we'll keep repeating the word "evil" throughout this post, because, this motherfucker is evil to the bone.

A fitting soundtrack to the end of the world, BE∆RCR∆FT sets the stage to the coming apocalypse with its dark sorcery of beats and sacrificial synths. Evil we tells ya.

This the first release of Null with "label support" which we don't get why. Dude is mad prolific (check out his bandcamp) and out to take names, but as to why no "indie label heavy hitters" has tapped him yet is a complete mystery. That's why we're here, to give people like NULLSE✝ the audience they deserve. Now, be part of that audience and worship on the altar. Virgin blood not included.

 NULLSE✝ - BE∆RCR∆FT

CULT NEWS: New shit!

Gonna keep this update short and sweet so strap on kids

Newest cultist and all around prolific motherfucker nullse✝ would drop his newest LP Bearcraft on the blog today! YES KIDS TODAY.

But while you're waiting - listen to his just released EP GUDD∆WI✝CH II. That shit crey fo realz. Throw the dude a few bones on his Bandcamp.



In the midst of making her EP - Saats Bahar made a few edits + a track off her EP to tide us over from the excruciating wait. Also: her track for the label sampler is mad bomb man.





And speaking of new members of the cult: heavy✝black IS THE DUDE. Take our word for it kids - you're listening to someone onto bigger things. Dude is so bomb he's about to blow up! Watch out for his EP on here!



Is▲Real made a crazy remix that is just the straight up TRUTH. Stream it to believe it!



Speaking of remixes this happened:

This just goes to show that Cult Shit is on Ke$ha's radar which is just the funniest thing EVER.

Now lastly listen to the new collab DJ Dragoste did with DJ Warde. ILL SHIT.

CSR009: Z◊ɤɤ◊B▲Bͼ// - BLV3 is †he c0l0r 0f y0ur h3ll EP

Its the 19th somewhere and somewhere Babel falls.

One day, out of nowhere, someone messaged our Soundcloud and Facebook page and asked if we would like to release his music. We listened to one track, one track alone, and we knew this person would go on and do awesome things. Awesome things that Cult Shit Media Blackout should be part of. That was back in October and that dude was Z◊ɤɤ◊B▲Bͼ//.

And now it has come to this - a haunting 4-song EP that turns up the darkness up to 11. There's a thick fog of ambiance that permeates around the sometimes glittery, sometimes dragged out beats in Z◊ɤɤ◊B▲Bͼ//'s world that would surely make the future shiver in dread. ZB just might actually be one of the horsemen ushering in the apocalypse, and we're in it for the ride with an awesome soundtrack.

Welcome to your hell, kids. And its color is BLV3.

Z◊ɤɤ◊B▲Bͼ// - BLV3 is †he c0l0r 0f y0ur h3ll EP

CULT NEWS: New CSMB artists x Upcoming releases x DJ Dragoste mix x The Pyramid Head label sampler

Look. It's Tom Cruise. He's down with cults.

Anyway, where to start? How about The Broken Leslies. Comprised by 4 cats rocking and rolling the blues away, its not far off that The Broken Leslies would become your new favorite band. Because, despite popular belief, we are not just a label of genre bending electronic music. In case you missed the memo, we're down with tunes that are DOPE, and it should come to no surprise to anyone that WE LOVE ROCK AND ROLL AROUND THESE PARTS.

So let The Broken Leslies' blistering rock and roll break that puny indie neck of yours all in good fun, because that's how rock should be - fun and dangerous. Watch out for their release here in CSMB soon!



Anyone remember Spazzkid?

If you were following the progression of CSMB since its early days (which you probably haven't), circa 2007 or something - back when this whole operation came with the name PKi! - our friend and label comrade Spazzkid used to be Cocolulu. He even played his first show in the first PKi! House Show (that was also Legarda's first show before they became the juggernauts of post-rock they are now), but then he moved to sunny California and left us with songs that made us hopeful for his return. tl;dr Spazzkid is an old friend of the cult.

Well, Mark aka Spazzkid isn't back home and won't be any time soon, but guess what: since we got to talking and teary eyed with nostalgia, we decided that he should be part of the cult again. Fuck distance dude, distance is for chumps who don't have the internet. So better watch out for his first official release here and get stoked on his exclusive track on the upcoming label sampler at the end of the month!

For now though listen to his latest track featuring Skymarine from Davao. We've been playing this for 2 days now and it just won't stop being so incredibly good.



Now onto Lucas Tools.

Lucas Tools is a dude from Tunisia, North Africa and he makes electro ambient jamz that lasts for days, music that you just don't want to end. He is also a pretty cool dude and chill to talk to, if you're into that sort of thing. Anyway, there are plans of releasing his EP called Ketsuban - a first of three parts - here in the cult so you gots to be pumped up for that. It's going to be just MASSIVE we tells you.

But while you wait for that, listen and download his maxi EP Fresh Organic Product to whet your appetite. It's mad dope.



Dragoste is back! Well, we think he is. Dude got back to us a couple of days ago and said that he backed up his files and is going to finish mastering that mix of his so we could release it soon. Weird guy, but we love that bat shit crazy dude just the same. "Haters gonna hate I guess lol" was what he said to us when he messaged our Facebook. Hackers are bummers sometimes.

Listen to his Fiona Apple deep house remix and his remix of Mr. Biggs' Take That Shit to Trial for now, and don't worry, we'll tell you when to get back at us when that mix drops.



Now as for the label sampler we keep talking about...

Apocalypse comes early. CULT SHIT MEDIA BLACKOUT PRESENTS THE PYRAMID HEAD DROPS 11.30.12

With tracks from everyone in the Cult Shit roster. Better stay strapped til that one happens because you don't wanna get gunned down without hearing this shit. Real talk.

Also, don't forget that Z◊ɤɤ◊B▲Bͼ// is gonna release his EP on the 19th, that's Monday, SO MARK THOSE CALENDARS.

CSRMixtape001: K▼L▲M†††B▲R▲NG /SLOZXRVHEDZ/ MIX x S▲G▲D▲ ▲LL H▲LLOWS' EVE MIX

Because of unforeseen events on DJ Dragoste's end (homeboy's computer got hacked and all his files were erased - some straight up cold shit so FUCK YOU ASSHOLES!) we're putting a hold on his mix for the cult. Return to us in the dark side soon brother!

But don't fret! K▼L▲M†††B▲R▲NG is a trooper and made this smash of a mix filled with oddball beats and drug filled remix nuances. This is something you play when you're falling into oblivion from great highs. Just let it crash my friend. Let it crash.

Download that shit NOW!

K▼L▲M†††B▲R▲NG /SLOZXRVHEDZ/ MIX



And in case you haven't yet - download KB's S▲G▲D▲ ▲LL H▲LLOWS' EVE MIX made straight outta the movntains ov Sagada. Just right and proper after you nod out to /SLOZRVHEDZ/ let the coldness of the northern mountains envelope you and the hash smoke fog up your vision. And as an added bonus: KB buried in the mix a new track out of the upcoming album called Sunbones. Get hyped!

Download that shit too NOW!

S▲G▲D▲ ▲LL H▲LLOWS' EVE MIX

S▲G▲D▲ ▲LL H▲LLOWS' EVE MIX by K▼L▲M†††B▲R▲Ng on Mixcloud

Even more mixes soon so keep your head up son.

CSR008: Kidstuff - Nothing But A Test

Here's a record we're sure that would get stuck in your mp3 player of choice.

Kidstuff, the solo project from the frontman of The Strangeness Francis Cabal, is like a gem that was unearthed from a long forgotten musical past of rock and roll - its not of this time but definitely of the now. These lo-fi garage folk tunes is something a modern Woodie Guthrie would sing, stories a forgotten blues musician would tell. You see the trend here? Then you're probably close to what Kidstuff sounds like.

But then again there are curve balls thrown all the time.

Francis and I we're talking about the album and he said he's glad to get these songs out of his system. In my point of view its like expelling demons - and personally its like he is expelling his demons. And watch out for his Townes Van Zandt and Elf Power covers - they are heartbreakingly sweet and would be your new favorites. Someone tell Jam883 to play these songs on Different Sunday FUCKING STAT!

Expect more songs from the latest cult member soon because there are more stories to tell and more songs to sing. And take note: our November streak continues!

Download it. Love it. Leave it.

Kidstuff - Nothing But A Test

OUTSIDE THE CULT: UP! Australia x CVTY x Rocket House

Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt: UP! x Cult Shit Media Blackout from Tomi Uysingco on Vimeo.

Did we say that November is our month? Because it is.

Just last week, before we went up the mountains to gather shit tons of the sticky herb, we dropped the first collab video we did with UP!, Australia's premier guerrilla marketing team. So if any of you are in Melbourne, hook up with these dudes. They're dope.

We're dropping video 2 next week so keep your ears to the ground homeslice. Shit is gonna be bananas.



JUNKYARD SESSIONS from triskaideka tv on Vimeo.

And now for an oldie but a goodie. Around 6 months ago, we collaborated with our buds in Rocket House and the mad prolific CVTY Collective to make this short documentary. It was shown at Tiga South's first event at South Bar, along with some rocking tunes and more videos from CSMB and Rocket House. That was a blast. Go watch that shit again!

Oh and BTdubs, go like the Rocket House facebook page and watch the latest video reel they made. HYPE.

CSR007: Nemesis Q - Ganger EP

Fuck the hustle, bitch. Just fuck the hustle.

November is CSMB's month dudes, and what better way to open the month up but by fucking opening it up with a chainsaw in your mouth, down your throat, pass your rib cage, and through your innards? Nemesis Q's highly anticipated EP, Ganger, has that in spades... and shovels and hacksaws and a basement full of power tools.

This is not "aww she broke my heart and I'm gonna go write a sappy song about it" this is some straight up murder-your-ex-with-a-flamethrower shit, that's how much fire it is. FIRE. Filled with synths outta horror flicks and screwed beats, this is an EP no self-respecting hiphop head should be without. Cop it down below homes.

Albeit short, it makes us anticipate what Nemesis Q has in-store for that inevitably massive album in the near future. Get to it dude, we be pushing that shit like crack to niggas.
