DIES IRAE

Gonzo is musician, DJ and Discrepant head honcho, Gon?alo F Cardoso. Since starting the label back in 2010, Gonzo has released a series of limited collage tapes on the label, Dies Irae being the very first one back in 2012. He now decides to give it the vinyl treatment with specially commissioned artwork from Belgium artist, Elzo Durt. It unapologetically stitches together field recordings, sound generators, random loops and "unfinished" compositions to accompany weird spoken word moments. It kick started the self-penned Gonzo collage style. "Gonzo has created one of the best tapes I've ever heard, bar none, with Dies Irae. Never to these ears, at least on a cassette, has a collage-style collection of samples and other assorted sounds/noises/atmospheric devices come together so convincingly, as if each element was created strictly to serve the purposes of the end product.'
