Cadabra Records
With its first release in 2015, Cadabra Records blasted onto the world stage with one mission in mind: release the best-spoken arts records on the planet. Focusing on classics of the horror genre, Cadabra has been on a relentless clip of recording and releasing gorgeous records in both aural and visual design. At M[m], we’ve reviewed most of the label's output, thus far- so it seemed a prime time to do an interview- so we tracked down one of the key minds behind the label Jonathan Dennison for an email interview.
Dmitry Vasilyev
On September 7, 2018, Dmitry Vasilyev tragically died. Dmitry was an integral part of not just the Russian experimental scene, but the worldwide scene. He was not an artist in the truest sense of the word; his art was the promotion of experimental music to the listeners and this he did with real passion & commitment- moving from publishing fanzines, onto running a respected label, through promoting shows, onto writing to the definitive book on Italian experimental music, and beyond
The Hysteria Continues
The Hysteria Continues are a slasher loving transatlantic foursome who do both a regular podcast, and record commentary tracks for slasher film reissues- and these can be found on the releases from such companies as Arrow Video, Vinegar Syndrome, and 88 films. They’ve been active since 2011, and have so far amassed 170 plus podcasts, and recorded over twenty commentary tracks- all making them one of the most known & respected figures in slasher-fandom. The collective brings together British writer & slasher expect Justin Kerswell- who wrote one of the few books on slasher films Teenage Wasteland; as well as running & writing for the hysteria-lives, a renowned slasher focused website. Irishman Erik Threlfall- who is a lifelong fan of slasher films, & who also writes for the hysteria-lives. And Tennessee based Joseph Henson & Nathan Johnson- who have also been lifelong horror & slasher fans. All four members of the collective kindly agreed to give M[m] an email interview.
