"Go to the past, but look to the future, don't get bogged down in the present " This Andrew Weatherall quote almost single-handedly sums up the Get The Curse (GTC) spirit. Three years after its creation, it is more than ever devoted to go against the grain and hit'em where it REALLY hurts, whether its 1982 or 2010. In just a few months, the six die-hard enthusiasts running GTC have managed to position it as one of the leading underground club music blogs on a global scale. It is truly a household name for electronic dance music amateurs craving quality podcasts and playlists. It is no surprise then that GTC is supported by revered artists such as Claude VonStroke, who mentions GTC in interviews, and Ivan Smagghe, who actually participates regularly in GTC where he shares his own playlists with the site's readers. GTC is also a household name for Parisian clubbers: over the last few years the collective has held successful residencies in the capital's most respected clubs with a focus on relevant, quality line-ups, inviting artists such as Radio Slave, Andrew Weatherall, François K, Superpitcher, Kiki, Solomun, Seth Troxler, Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts, Damian Schwartz, Maetrik, Paul Ritch, Roman Flugel.
But that wasn't enough for the proverbially hard to please Parisians: the time has come for the collective to launch GET THE CURSE MUSIC, a vinyl and digital record label. Indeed, the Get The Curse “touch” has become a mark of musical quality for scores of electronic dance music aficionados. Clement Meyer and Olibusta are experienced Djs now focusing on production work. Making the most of their experience of releasing material on Sei A's Seinan Music and Claude VonStroke's Mothership, they take the plunge and launch their own structure. They are teaming-up with up and coming French artists
and friends Le Loup (of Wolf+Lamb fame) as well as Darabi in order to exercise their very personal sense of elegance and mastery of arcane codes of a very jackin' art-de-vivre. With an already dense release schedule, GET THE CURSE MUSIC is an unlikely combination of fucked-up techno, druggy electro, nightmarish disco and gloomy house, undoubtedly it will be a club-oriented label. It's the kind of music one listens to with eyes closed and arms in the air, stuck in a warehouse or locked in a couch.
