Description

Our third mixtape in partnership with Philadelphia punk archivists World Gone Mad, this time specifically focused on the late 1980s/early 90s punk & hardcore scene in Medellín, Colombia.

"There are moments in which art perfectly reflects the surroundings in which it was born This is the case of the entire hc/punk/metal scene in late 80s/early 90s Medellín It was, at the time, the most violent city in the world because of drug cartels, corruption, oppression & poverty This violence was the reality of daily life & is reflected in the music that flourished in Medellín during the time period It is some of the most authentically violent, aggressive, noisy, raw & abrasive hc/punk/metal to ever exist This tape is a sonic snapshot of those times."
