STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON is in the theatres on 16th September
In 1987, five young men, using brutally honest rhymes and hardcore beats, put their frustration and anger about life in the most dangerous place in America into the most powerful weapon they had: their music. Taking us back to where it all began, Straight Outta Compton tells the true story of how these cultural rebels-armed only with their lyrics, swagger, bravado and raw talent-stood up to the authorities that meant to keep them down and formed the world's most dangerous group, N.W.A. And as they spoke the truth that no one had before and exposed life in the hood, their voice ignited a social revolution that is still reverberating today.
STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON vertelt het verhaal van de hip-hop groep N.W.A., gevormd door Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Easy E, DJ Yella en MC Ren.
In 1987 gebruikten vijf jonge mannen openhartige teksten en hardcore beats om hun frustraties en woede over hun leven in één van de meest gevaarlijke buurten van Amerika te uiten en creëerden hiermee een machtig wapen: hun muziek. Deze culturele rebellen vormden samen de N.W.A. Met hun muziek, attitude en talent vochten ze tegen de autoriteiten die hen onder de duim wilden houden. In hun teksten vertelden ze de waarheid over het leven in de hood en begonnen ze een sociale revolutie die nog steeds invloed heeft op de hedendaagse samenleving.
Met o.a. O'Shea Jackson Jr., Corey Hawkins en Jason Mitchell als Ice Cube, Dr. Dre en Eazy-E. De film is geregisseerd door F. Gary Gray (Friday, Set It Off, The Italian Job). Geproduceerd door de Ice Cube en Dr. Dre, samen met Matt Alvarez en Tomica Woods-Wright. Uitvoerend producenten zijn Gray, David Engel, Bill Straus, Ronald G. Muhammad, Scott Bernstein en Adam Merims.

The song that became a feature of C-Lekktor‘s live sets in recent years finally gets an official release – in 3-track extended digital format or strictly limited edition 2-track vinyl version!
On the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, the controversial restart of the first nuclear reactor in Japan since the Fukushima disaster, and the 40th anniversary of the original Kraftwerk track’s release, the timing could not be more appropriate or topical for this release.
Mastered by long-term DWA and C-Lekktor associate Jan L at his XMP studios in Germany, the b-side of the 7″ limited edition is Jan’s own Noisuf-X mix of “Radioakktivity”. Strictly limited to 200 copies on heavyweight 42gm black vinyl, in hand-numbered matching yellow-and-black sleeve designed by Markko’s partner-in-crime in side-project Circuito Cerrado Orlando “Psyklon” Urizar, the vinyl version releases in early October.
Every year DWA manages to find some new spin on the concept of compilation albums – and 2015 is no exception!
This summer we present you with an eclectic collection of cover versions originally written and performed by 80s icons A Flock Of Seagulls, Army Of Lovers, Depeche Mode, Beastie Boys and Den Harrow, 90s alt rockers Deftones and Korn, industrial scene legends Grendel and And One, dating back as far as 1975 with seminal electro pioneers Kraftwerk all the way through to Nicki Minaj shaking her booty just a couple of years ago.
And yes “present” might just be the key word here – because you can pick this up for JUST ONE LOUSY US DOLLAR if you feel so inclined!
Well over a couple of years in the making since the original idea started being floated around the DWA roster, the level of satisfaction at this finally seeing the light of day is palpable…
Bands known principally for electronic music like vProjekt and Technolorgy reveal their talents on more traditional guitars and drums, acts like Terrolokaust and Sirus known for their electro style tackle 90s alt rock anthems…
Including 8 tracks previously unreleased, and by popular demand an instrumental mix of CygnosiC‘s massive international hit “Mad Desire”, we bring you THE soundtrack of the summer 2015…via DWA's own Bandcamp-storefront all for as little as JUST $1 or however much you may think it is worth… ;-)
