One of the best surprise from this 2017.. Hope you understand some italian to appreciate the implied dark humour of the lyrics.. A perverted mix of Horror Core , samples from opera (Pavarotti and more) and rap! Perhaps this project from DJ Balli and Co. is going to tour around Europe.. Hopefully also in Berlin..
I still read this (as also Ballis Plunderphonia text in one of the last Datacides) as a fucked up instrumentalisation of wrong assigned bodies and repression. Like there the so called "sex reassignment surgery" is shown as a ridiculous act from a normative, genitalist perspective, in a normative, genitalist (both same) language, again.
No one would dare to foreign determine the body of a person affected by daily racism and describe it in a racist way then, but foreign determine the body of a person affected by daily genitalism and even describe the act of modifying the body as (maybe) a protection against genitalism in a genitalist (and thereful hateful, disrespecting and oppressing) way seems ok for all of you????????????
I yet told my critics to people of Praxis when the article of the same manner appeared in Datacide, written by DJ Balli and finally silence - no reaction in general, now the same shit, again, I don´t see the point in bashing bullshit in a genitalist way, I just see DJ Balli having a problem and reproducing genitalist discrimination in a (for me) absolutely non supportable way, again.
Fair enough to say, I could have missed anything, but then, where and what?
Wtf, I did´n´t read the lyrics, just thought the music was ok, it makes me sick, sad and really fucking angry. What a sexist stigmatising bullshit, screw that HuSo Dj Balli!
well we´ll see. It looks so for me actually ... but lets see how itll develop. I wrote to SB on SC and we´ll see how reactions will be, if there will be any. Maybe there is a reason or concept that has a better background, but yes, actually I can not imagine anything. I still try not to get too angry, yet, generally I have a good opinion about SB, but otherwise ...
the whole thing is more difficult than I could express. I do not want to get into detail, but I always had divergent feelings about Datacide and their resident crews/hood[=crowd] (it seems so is SB also), on the one hand/superficially everything seems reflected and trying not to act in a shitty way, but on the other hand, there were always also genitalist assholes and actions/gestures in the background on parties and if I talked about emancipative issues, I always did not feel comfortable, as if I would talk to strangers or if it would be just a disturbance action. (This is not common for me in the surrounding where I party, even not in the politcal ones in Berlin, to have these feelings)
I tried to hide this until now, but I can not do this anymore because the same principle like around Neofolk: If you are aware to act in a crowd where genitalism and genitalists are still taking place it should be selfevident that its fucked up to display or support statements and art that seem just genitalist and will push these people/actors to think "I am right, even the artists give me subliminally support in my actions, we just have to do it less clearly."
For me it seems to be the same shit like when rrrriotgrrrl was absolutely necessary (it is still but I have no better words actually), but I could be wrong. I want to get away from that silent suspucions which stabilize paranoia and division, so I speak it out in public now, I am not the only one who feels and thinks in that way, but even if I would be, it would be necessary to ask about the intention and concept behind this and an explaination because it seems like unreflected discrimination which is pushing the wrong people and mechanisms and nothing else to me and together with the feelings and experiences I had on the one or other praxis/datacideparty (some was certainly paranoia, some certainly not), it is a difficult situation for me and this stuff is provocative enough to ask why and if other people see the same problems which we do and why (not).
well, as i wrote, you should have had some previous understanding of italian language, knowledge of the italian mainstream culture to appreciate such kind of satyrical ep.. i don't see it as an attack against a given group of people.. and moreover i cannot really see it as an attack against your group of interest since your dialectic seems most of the time confused and generalist.. in my opinion this ep strikes directly the conformist Italian society, a society that compared to other (especially some parts of Northern European societies) still has much to do with a suffocating presence of the church. a society that is considered modern because only filled with contemporary goods/technologies.
since i have been around and collaborate in the "scene" i can certainly say that datacide parties had always an heterougeneous crowd.. that meant you can find space for confrontation in between worlds which are very different indeed.. that seemed to me a good starting point.. anyway i never experienced kind of racist/sexist behaviour. maybe my filter regarding these topics is kind of different than yours.. and moreover i haven't seen you around a datacide party since a while which means it is difficult to speak about something if you don't experience that..

... so it still does leave the impression, that this track is meant to make fun of sexual minorities in a denunciating and stigmatising way, by reducing peoples sex onto their genitals and also confirming genitalist, bodynormative stereotypes by speaking about genital operations - that people do to protect themselves against a sexist and genitalist society- in a disgusting and humiliating manner. even the use of the words "SEX REASSIGNMENT SURGERY" makes clear how unreflected and ignorant the whole thing is, since it´s a repressive term to create the illusion that sex can be changed by surgery, a term that is used to state and reproduce the patronizing message that the institutional biologist and religious constructed foreign(!) assignment of sex is more important and evident than the statement and knowledge of a person it self. As well as it is a pathologizing term to justify foreign determination of a persons sex, as an encroachment upon bodily autonomy, to deny the right of a person to speak for them self and make any self-determination of sex seem impossible. And with that, like done in that track above, to turn any effort to break that authoritarian social and governmental forced assignment of sex into ridicule and turning any resistance into fair game for any random chauvinistic dickhead - even or even more when they abuse their social status, like being artist, to profile with their sexist, body-normative bullshit!
but you are the one here that speaks Italian, so if there is any other possible interpretation of that track and the lyrics why don´t you tell us?
seems a bit odd just to trivialize the message, devalue someone's speaking ability and blame the -in my opinion appropriate- critic of someone as an absurd illusion. also your explanation that it "strikes directly the conformist Italian society" appears more like a flimsy attempt to digress the mentioned discriminations. it´s more like crossing the street at a red light, and to say that was against the conformist society, but not to mention, that it was done to get quicker to a meeting with your estate agent to induce the forced eviction of a homeless shelter, par example - it just does n´t has anything to do with the subject matter!
Zitat von arinevwell, as i wrote, you should have had some previous understanding of italian language, knowledge of the italian mainstream culture to appreciate such kind of satyrical ep..
there is no substantial difference between the original italian lyrics and their english translation. and nothing that requires any particular knowledge of the italian mainstream (i am born and raised in italy).
if you have senseful argumentations please use them. deceiving people with language knowledge is not honest and does not bring far.
well, the answer of him was ... an escape. He just gave some technical details and artificial explaination why/how the text and lyrics was made and that it was not intended to offend wrong assigend.
But I wrote, you still do and all people around I asked, think, its offensive and even more fucked up that this. So ...? No answer anymore.
I think he is a fucking old man who thinks its totally ridiculous and fucked up to do a surgery like this so its his right to joke about this. And it is totally clear he has any very strange obsession about the technical aspects of surgeries, why else would someone first write a strange article in the Datacide and then release this as one of two track tracks in one year which shall represent Sonic Belligeranca on SC?? I don´t understand why Datacide and others, who might have a bit of brain and political sensitivity give a fucked up bully like this a plattform to spill hatespeech like this there, for me, Datacide and Sonic B. is 2000% incredible now.
Also don´t see the joke in describing a surgery maybe needed to escape from genitalist violence in daily life as a ridiculous thing written in a genitalist, mocking language and in a perspective of an asshole that obviously never had the guts (and interest) to speak to anyone who did this. I still just see some fucked up genitalist bullying here. As long as no one says how fucked up it is. Here I do. And my friends also do.
Sonic belligeranca = sexistic bullygeranca DJ Balli has no balls and no guts it seems btw. the parody by Pavarotti joke was yet made in the 90s

there is no attempt to deceive anyone by my statement. simply i don't think that the the perception of some idiomatic expressions can ever be translated to 100% from one language to another. As often it can happen to me not understanding certain idiomatic expressions in German or English.
i still remain in the opinion that this track(as well as the whole EP) has nothing to do with sexism of the authors but rather it is a parody of both italian mainstream culture and that kind of "gangsta hip hop" full of fake machos/criminals which is popular there(see fabri fibra, marracash to name the worst). although this EP may seem childish i cannot understand your hatred as if dj balli personally offended you.
Balli just showed me that he is really this retarded chauvinist dickface I had expected when I read the text. He does not care nor even try to understand what I (and also my 2 friends) tell him while he is playing the big political moralist when writing for datacide.
What a fucked up hypocrate.
I guess I will hand out some texts telling the story and how fucked up it is to blow some dehumanizing genitalist brainfarts into a scene where genitalist prejudice and acting is yet common (as experience on the datacide parties evidently showed) and not really understood as what it is, a repressive rightwing way of acting, when his bigot articles and sexist "jokes" are sold in magazines, so on the next Datacide/bla event. I am fed up with assholes like him. Sometimes I really think nothing else makes sense than just bitchslap (people like) him with his own records.
He also started to say stuff like "blablabla its Italian humour you don´t get because you´re German", but fuck it, there is "jokes" like that also in Germany, by commercial homophobic rappers, in male-stream propaganda television and I remember having seen and heard jokes of the same manner yet in Berlusconi video/cinema productions (not kidding) in the 90s. Maybe I need more people to tell him how retarded this is, I bet he is just seeking for compliments and weak agreement by a majority of his peer group. It became evident he is not respecting me (not Taura or shf) as an equal human being, he is continueing to dehumanize us as he does in this text, its the same principle as if you talk to anyone writing hatespeech or harassment lyrics towards anyone, always the same game, always the same reaction. They will only listen to the "normal" people and this evidently shows how fashist they work. If you think the word fashist is too buzzword, replace it, but I think it is right in this case. ---------------------------------- -------------------------- later he wrote "I showed the track to a girl who was a man before. said it would be funny and not offending for her". I wrote " 1) you will always find someone who laughs about taking the piss of * even/especially as a discriminated bla, so wut? There were often foreign/different coloured people laughing about racist jokes f.e. and thinking this wouldn´t be problem. This doesn´t make it ok to tell these jokes in front/against people who do not agree.
here are 4 people who think "not" (+others who are not wrong assigned themselves). How many more do you need and why you make us argueing against each other? and why is this an argument to ignore what we write???
2) you describe this person as "a girl who was once a man". I don´t know if this person would describe herself the same, but if its like this, then she is different than the people here.
We are not like this and we also do not think that you become another sex/gender if doing a surgery. Anyhow, it is yet shitty to describe these surgeries as a ridiculous thing while leaving out the feelings and (also legal) problems behind it, you just reduce it on anatomy and you just bring the stereotype mainstream view/fairytale of "sexchange" as a generalisation, again, which is unsupportable especially because you evidently do not care about what we tell you, first you dehumanize people in your texts, then in practise, you react exactly like any sexist prick who just uses the misery of others to celebrate himself, like any sexist rapper, like any responsibility denying rainbowpresspublisher spreading lies, hate and prejudice or any hypocrate priest preying against the weak.
Your ignorance shown in the manner how to talk to me, is proving your prejudice and that you are not able to show respect. So you won´t get any respect from us anymore."
Its sad to see the same and the same and the same tricks again. First he types it on "national differences" (in humour), then he says "here is person who also says its nice". If this is how to deal with critics in a Datacide way, then goodnight. I kind help myself, but I really feel surrounded by shitheads.
Sounds pretty ignorant, and i don't get what he actually wanted to say about the Italian Society? Is the person in the lyrics, who gets the surgery ment to be a metaphor for the Italian Society? Like Ivan said, wich acts modern but under the surface is still very conservative? Well if this is the case, i think it's even more indicative for the underlying thought. Sounds like "You may change your genitals, but you will never be a real woman/man", then. Pretty fucked up. Because if it weren't for that explanaition, i thought its more the case of want to shock and provoke on behalf of supressed minorities, without really caring about their situation. Not much better, but still something else.
About the Datacide, i don't remember reading something like this, but i also didn't read all the datacides. About the parties, i felt mostly good there and can't really remember anything bad happening there, but i am not you and my perception is different of course.
Zitat von ZaraPaza scene where genitalist prejudice and acting is yet common (as experience on the datacide parties evidently showed)
can you please explain what are you referring to? (except this single case)
I meant "as bad personal discrimination experiences on several datacide parties evidently showed to US" because I was mentioning (having had) some bad experiences before. (without describing them in details)
I do not go into detail anymore. Because I yet wrote about several discrimination experiences on other parties, also containing physical violence and it made people here often say shit like "you just call for cheap attention" "this was your paranoia, it did not happen!", "this just happened because you provoced it" "this always only happens to you two/three" and this makes me not wanting to write about these experiences to detailled anymore.
Just to say, there seem usually to exist people coming as guests also (!) on Datacide parties who do not understand that it is not okay to offend, sexually harass or attack us and especially not to act even more barefaced and aggressive when we tell them to shut up and leave us alone, then. I think to have perceived this in a different way and attitide/self understanding than towards other women several times. Just believe me.
I am saying us but I am very sure we are not the only ones who several times and on several parties got treaten like this by guests. And I just don´t want to be surrounded then with texts and tracks there which even makes assholes like this thinking they earn respect for how they disrespect us and show us "that we are ridiculous and not allowed to feel good". in accordance to the "jokes" of these texts and tracks and the values and hierarchies the language there transfers.

I don't think his comment got cancelled by someone else. He maybe got logged out because he needed more than 15 minutes to write. At least this also happened to me a few times.
