‘Next Wave Acid Punx’ is a 38 track journey across nearly 40 years of dark club music compiled and curated by Berlin-based Musician and DJ, Luca Venezia aka Curses divided into Chapter 1. Origins (Classics), Chapter 2. Break A Sweat (Recent) and Chapter 3. Maximum Heat (Exclusives).
Inviting friends with a like-minded affection for an 80s rooted sound, and diving deep into his record collection, Curses has put together a three-CD/double vinyl set that takes us from music by Colourbox, Yello, Hard Corps and Suicide to EBM pioneers, Front 242 through to recent club hits from Zombies in Miami, Moscoman, Juan Mclean, Fantastic Twins and 12 brand new, totally exclusive tracks from the likes of Kendal x David Carretta, Chinaski, Local Suicide x Skelesys, Shubostar, Amarcord
Exploring the darker side of club music, ‘Next Wave Acid Punx’ traces decades of a musical passion and joins the dots between the EBM, New Beat, Italo and Acid House tracks of the 1980s to present music of today.

Luca Venezia (Berlin, February 2021):
“Putting together a compilation like this is a strange experience. I’ve never been one to stay still too long. Whether as a musician, DJ, or producer I’d never wanted to tie myself down to one scene or one sound, always looking to move on before I’d maybe run a project completely dry. With an album you create a snapshot of who you are during that time in life, with a DJ set maybe just that night, but this felt more like trying to sum up a lifetime of musical experiences. A bit daunting! But in putting this comp together I did find a path that led from listening to FRONT 242 and Ministry cassettes in my bedroom when I was just 11, through to the music I make and play today. What links these tracks together, is an attitude. It’s one I’ve been drawn to since I was a teenager, playing in punk bands, skateboarding in NYC, hanging out at CBGBs, and following Sonic Youth around, to eventually raving every weekend at underground drum & bass and electro nights.”
