VA - Strike 100 (2009)

Get ready for a whiff of nostalgia from the Shitkatapult crew who, when, where and why?
They had a dream of music, freedom and adventure: lets start a label, a music hub, a base, a platform!
From the wisp of a dream to tangible reality: while Stormbow, the rock band of Marco Haas (aka
T.Raumschmiere) served as a precursor, Strike 01 started the labels new countdown. A collection
of friends and colleagues, Cozmic Suckers (vol. orange) hurled SHITKATAPULT into the world with a
bang, gritty crackles, expansive sounds, cool experiments and warm, optimistic boldness for the
floor, the bedroom and everything in-between. Pan, zoom, cut: eleven years and a cool 100
releases down the line, Shitkatapult celebrates its adrenaline-soaked anniversary with V.A.
Strike 100. Available on double CD and triple vinyl, the compilation takes the label back to
its dreamy vision, a spiky, feverish, beautiful thicket, and throws together 25
listening/electronica/ambient highlights not a million miles away from, say, a Weimarian or
Leningrad master class of electronic music. An FBI of beauty and honesty. While the majority of
tracks are exclusives for this special occasion (The Orb, T.Raumschmiere etc.), some were culled
from previous records (Soap&Skin, Das Bierbeben, Judith Juillerat) or dug up and licensed from the
classics vault for an overall oeuvre of unrivalled proportions:
Take Apparats stunning Johnny Cash remix, for example, or Bus reworked by AG Penthouse or Julia
Hummers heart-wrenching collaboration with Pluramon, If Time Was On My Side, an apt motto
for the assembled artists, dedicated to music despite all odds. But why do it? Because it makes
sense, say the wistful woods of this record, caught in the delicious delusion of elves and fly agaric.
Bianca Strauchs exceptional and exceptionally fitting cover art creates the right setting for
Simona Dancius beautiful woodland image, the winning entry of the following competition: Dear
