NORAVE

LIKE RAVE BUT NOT

NORAVE is a free download compilation album we have put out on Little Rock Records, of willfully obscure and challenging electronica, noise-terror, improvisation and pure ambience.

It features tonnes of bands and artists you may never have heard of, with the exception of me, Gay Against You, Hudson Mohawke and Chorus of Gastornis. Though chances are slim you have heard of any of them either. The album also features Eyes from Illinois, Tayside Mental Health from Perth, Blood Moon from Manchester, Drowned Denko from Birmingham, Mong from Glasgow, and lots, lots more. It turned out much better as a compilation album then we had expected, and we're very proud of it!

There is a whole spiel about the world of NORAVE and loads of related graphics too which have been fun to get together. If you'd like to download it just click on the pic below and you'll receive the zipped file. Amongst the rabble you shall hear shards of gabcore, post-crunk, popno, umbient, noice and sounds so bizarre as to defy descripton!



NORAVE heralds a death-knell to the vacuous London scene known as "Nu Rave".
We are to Nu Rave what No Wave is to New Wave.
We are the children of your twenty year comedown.

"Picture a horrible motorway pile-up, bloody bodies strewn from Joy Division’s Honda Civic, the Klaxxons’ white horse, a bus-load of happy hardcore, and Aphex Twin’s private tank.

We are the spectators at the side of that road, pointing, laughing and ejaculating into hankies."




This is dance music you cannot dance to.

This is NORAVE.
