Teknival – Summer Thunder

Teknival was started by Spiral Tribe in the Summer of 1993 as free festivals of techno music and art. This article by Mark Spiral (aka Mark Angelo Harrison) describes the attempt by a commercial record distributor to “copyright” the term Teknival, but more importantly looks into other pitfalls of marketing underground culture, including the now legendary Network 23.

Datacide is a magazine that covers experimental electronic music, from the avantgarde to hard dance music, its intersections with radical politics and counterculture, in-depth political and historical analysis and critique as well as experimental fiction, poetry and visual works. In each issue there is an extensive record review section as well as detailed book reviews, comics and news items.Datacide is not affiliated with or part of any specific political group but engages in a revolutionary critique that rejects the historically discredited strains of leftism associated with Social Democracy and Leninism, drawing instead on the rich heritage of dissident Marxism, libertarian communism and critical theory.Datacide is a critical voice in the increasingly irrational and rightward lurching 'posttruth' times of conspiratorial world views and identity politics.
