Another fragment of Praxis history: An alliance with DJ Pure from Vienna was forged in the mid-90s and found its expression on the label with the release of this 12″ and later a retrospective double CD (Praxis 26CD). To make it fit on the 12″ vinyl King Kong had to be cut by half, but both this track and Katharsis on the other side made harsh and disturbing listening.
Comes with download code with the whole of Bodyhammer (Praxis 26CD) double CD retrospective – 21 tracks of classic industrial hardcore from the 90s!
This record wraps up a series of re-pressings from the originaly master plates: Slaughter Politics (Praxis 21, 1999/2020) on red vinyl, Nomex: Trocante gramofony E.P. (1999/2021) on black vinyl, both in editions of ca. 100 copies.
Another re-release was the Sub/Version 012 with the A-sides of Sub/Version 001 and 002 by Christoph Fringeli & DJ Pure from 1997 in 2021.
