About Me

autistic child, compulsive (LSD/speed) freak, dysfunctional nerd, beat-up punk, veteran rocker, eccentric leather dandy and dedicated daddyo! libertarian renaissance manboy (homo universalis or idiot savant?) with many limited capacities, so I better stay humble and keep up that essential sweet and bitter irony. product of an ex-colonial ex-upper class (too atheist, too decadent and too perverted, I guess) and multi-racial (portuguese/jewish/dutch/indonesian) bohemian family and raised in the tower blocks of the fucked up newtown suburbia/banlieue of Alphen a/d Rijn (20 miles from The Hague), did gymnasium, studied biology, philosophy and prehistory at Leiden university, former director of absurdist/satyrical punkzine 'maximum droplul', musician (predominantly singer and drummer) in many bands since 1985: a.o. orange sunshine (hard-rockin' hi-volume '69 acid fuzz motor blues), johnny cohen and the new age nazis (crazy jewish/multi-racial swastika speedfreak hardcore punk rock'n'roll), panty boy (raw garage punk rock'n'roll), sunwheel (heavy '70's sabbath/ACDC-style hard rock), al naafiysh (ultra-heavy proto-doom rock mantras), white trash minstrels (surf instros), unit moebius (twisted robot acid and industrial techno), DJ schmerzlabor (dark industrial electro and black ritual acid), los hermanos rodriguez (booty bass/ghetto trax). owner of 2 record labels: motorwolf (check out www.motorwolf.com) for the raw motor rock sound and bunker (check out www.bunker-records.com) for the sinister electronic sound. organizer of many underground squat concerts and illegal acid parties in The Hague's metro area since 1985, a.o. amphetamine reptile (garage/punk/noise rock shows), acid planet (acid/tekno), de bruine planeet (electro funk/punk rock), scsi loser bar (garage/surf/punk/HC/stoner/doom/hard rock) and dystopia: anything from raw rock ('n'roll), heavy dub reggae and dark doom metal to gloomy industrial electro/tekno, old-school miami bass hip hop and black acid house. new venue cumming up: scorpio rising, a dark leather dexedrine basement. I have 3 boys (Rui, 7 years old, Boris, 4 years and Driss, 2) and in the cellar of the former ministry of Foreign Affairs, I also have my own vintage analog recording studio.
BUNKER RECORDS ON BEATPORT!

Propaganda Atlantik Wall Records.. box 1
Exclusively available through this (Godspill) mailorder, not available in stores or through other distribution!:
Atlantikwall Records: a new label from The Hague, Holland, that shall finally (re)release all the obscure Den Haag Acidic Tekno from those notorious Acid Planet years 1992 'till 1997! The first LP box, a black label six-pack (Atlantikwall 001 - 006, 'Lost Tracks For Lost Minds'), will feature more than 3 hours of music made by I-F in his early days, of which most has never been released ever before! Remember Beverly Hills 808303, Jungian Archetype, Hott, Interr-Ference, Reference Records? The darkest and hardest pounding industrial techno and acid ever to come from the Netherlands! Atlantikwall will bring you a selection of I-F's most cruel, most brutal and most insane music from that period! Feel the warm pulsating heartbeat inside your momma's womb and fear the relentless strobe flash that waits for you in the outside world: once the demon is in your paranoid mind, there is no way back...
2 more boxes/6-packs with more of that manic and extreme early I-F material and 2 boxes of Unit Moebius shall follow later!
Please do not be surprised: there are no titles available, as these lost tracks really are excavated from lost DAT tapes without any information. Even in the lost mind of the original creator this music is totally forgotten! Most of this stuff has never been released before and tracks that are reminiscent of previously released material are always alternate takes (longer versions and/or different mixes). Oh, and please take notice of the fact that this exclusive box is a limited edition of only 300 copies! Buy now or cry yourself to sleep later...
