For those totally unaware of datacide: It’s a magazine on paper combining radical cultural critique, theory, reports and reviews weaving a net of “heterogenous theory for the insurrection of a million minds”.
Musically this covers c8-territory and more, for an archive of the most important articles from previous issues, please check datacide.c8.com
Datacide wants to appear bi-annual, but funds have been lacking and we have no powerful sponsors or advertisers. The prime way of prefinancing the magazine – simply to cover a part of the printing costs – is subscriptions. Currently we have very few, and I’m not surprised that many people hesitate in the face of the massive delays for the current issue. But now there is ample reason to throw your doubts overboard and send us money – subscribers will receive a CD with exclusive material from many of c8’s finest, in fact the FIRST 50 will receive a DOUBLE CD – oh my gosh!!
Who’s on it?
This is still in stages of finalisation, and since the decision to make it a limited double is a new one, more artists will be added.
Confirmed so far:
Anna Bolena
DJ Balli
Base Force One
Blackjewishgays
Blackmassplastics
DJ Controlled Weirdness
Crisis Theory
Dan Hekate & CF
Fanny
Geroyche
Istari Lasterfahrer

AND MORE
i will update this list as the project is finalised in the next weeks (sorry if I forgot anyone for the moment)
And what does it cost?
NEW subscribers:
in the UK: £10 for (ca.) 4 issues and the CD(s)
in the EU: €15 for (ca.) 4 issue and the CD(s)
in Switzerland: CHF 20.- for (ca.) 4 issues and the CD(s)
in the US and the rest of the world: $15 for (ca.) 3 issues and the CD(s)
Why, you may ask, does it say “‘ca.’ 4 issues” – the reason for this is that the size of future datacides is uncertain. IF they will be sized down (which would be a way of reducing printing/mailing costs and help getting it out more regularly), you will actually get 1-2 issues MORE for this subscription, if the size continues to grow substatially, there may be 1 (not more!) less.
CURRENT subscribers:
Current subscribers who have more than one issue to go (i.e. your subscription DOESN’T run out with issue 8 ) will receive the SINGLE CD version automatically.
IF you want the DOUBLE CD, or if your subscription runs out with issue 8 (you will be notified of this), you have the choice of either renewing/ prolonging your subscription according to the rates above, OR just send 5 €/$ or equivalent – this will get you the double CD and extend your sub for one more issue.
IF YOU CAN’T be bothered by exclusive tracks by the coolest artists around, but you want to try out and support datacide, then you can also send 5€/$ or equivalent which will cover the next 2 issues.
How to pay:
You can either send well concealed cash (US$, €, £, CHF, no coins) to:
Christoph Fringeli
c/o Vision
P.O.Box 568
CH-4005 Basel
Switzerland
OR pay by direct bank transfer; send an email if you prefer this version, i will get you the necessary details.
Please support Datacide by taking out one of the above subscriptions!
