My submission for the @de-fanzine-cpr-pale!

My song of choice is "Together for One Last Dance" by Junior Senior. I chose this song for the vague sense of doom the lyrics give me. Why's it the last time? Why do they keep saying "Don't think too much about it?" Idk made me think about the gloaming.

But mainly I wanted to see the club succeed, even for just a minute.

The zine and corresponding playlist can be found here: [link]

Speedfreaks on the scene

[autumngracy]

It's amazing how years can go by and you still keep finding earth shattering revelations about things in Disco Elysium.

For example,

(Spoilers)

If you pass a check with Acele towards the end after finishing all the church quests, she'll admit to you that she's the daughter of a prominent member of the criminal underground who got murdered by his competitors, that she's hiding her identity to protect herself, and that turning the church into a drug lab using an anodic dance club as a cover was entirely her idea, which she now regrets because she sees how happy her friends are to do it "clean," and that perhaps they actually do have a chance to succeed financially off the music alone.

All of which is buck wild because it completely subverts your understanding of her as a person and also her friends. The speedfreaks really did want to just make a dance club, and she was the one who convinced them to make it a drug lab.

What's even crazier is that, because she knows that opening a drug lab right next to the dockworkers' union—which is smuggling drugs through the harbor—would create competition with them and therefore be dangerous, she cleared her plan to use the church to make speed with Evrart Claire ahead of time.

Discotechs died with the collapse of the gay party scene, the Reagan administration, the rise of the LGBT community and gay liberation movement.

In Disco Elysium disco fell as Revachol lost its independence and the grasp of the moralintern, coalition and the economic disparity of capitalism shut its jaws around the people.

EDM, electronic dance music birthed from the ashes of the discotech and new club music was born, similarly ADM, Adonic Dance Music is starting its journey into the main stream.

This places culturally and phonically Disco Elysium sometime in the mid to late 80s or even Early 90s.

Now I wanted to figure out what music was on Speedfreak radio:

DJ mesh says:

"...AND DE FACTO THE FASTEST MUSIC IN ALL OF R-R-REVACHOL R-ROCK CITY. ALL YOU HOOLIGANS, DOWNTOWN DRIFTERS, SIDEWAYS SALLIES AND POWERSLIDING PIERRES."

The only song we hear on Speedfreaks radio is described as:

"If, when a motor-carriage's engine was ignited, it could drive by its own accord off to a high mountain and there write a song -- perhaps it'd be something like what you're hearing now."

We know that the music is rock and it's fast and has the essence of something a car would write as well as a clear association with car culture.

Similarly around the mid to late 80s metal rock music was gaining popularity in the mainstream.

Including a subgenre of metal known as speed metal.

Anyway, I'm not a huge metal fan, in fact I'm a complete noob when it comes to the genre.

But I've done my best collecting some metal from the time period that I think would be played on Speedfreaks FM and would be to Kim's tastes.

As well as a few more anachronistic additions plus some songs just for fun.

The mix isn't quite done so if you have recommendations leave em in the comments or notes!

Also check out my similarly done Disco Mixtape.

Also also check out my Kim fic I'm working on.
