BAD SEKTA CONTINUES TO REGENERATE

Forthcoming
BAD002 and BAD015-onward likely/perhaps includes releases by Channel 23, Ely Muff, Phuq, PsiTransWill, Toilet Wizard and others...
Recent
BAD014 is AB/7A - "Bene Gesserit Forever"; six tracks of (darkish) ambient/minimal noise/drones, dedicated to <3 VJ ORDO QUADRATI <3, who departed this physical sphere too soon and is always in our hearts. Free/donation via Bandcamp.
BAD013 is our seventeenth birthday sampler compilation, "Twenty-Three Yourself", featuring tracks from past releases by The Abominable Mr Tinkler, Anxt!, The Fez!, Knaebot, Lastboss, Obese, Phuq, Praetorius, Ronin and $p!tTiNg V!tRi[]L. Free/donation download via Bandcamp.
BAD012 is Phuq's "Chivalry is Dead" EP - featuring several fragments of braindance, noise and wonk, "for you and Roo"! Digital release via Bandcamp.
BAD011 is CL369's strangely-relaxing, digital-only collection, "Household Faveworms", documenting atmospheric electromagnetic fields emanating from various household appliances; indeed, from the very aether itself... Twenty-three tracks (including a reworking by Phuq) in twenty-three minutes! Available for free/donation via Bandcamp.
BAD010 is the truly powerful "Eviction Scheme", a limited edition (123 hand-numbered copies, with stickers), CD and digital (AAC/AIFF/ALAC/FLAC/MP3/Ogg Vorbis/WAV) album from the maestro that is Lastboss. Fourteen magnificently innovative, eclectic and rewarding tracks, produced between 2010 and 2022 and covering a vast swathe of territories (including ambient, breakcore, experimental, industrial, orchestral, pop and techno)... CD & Digital via Bandcamp - CD includes full download/stream of digital edition.
