Aging is illegal and death is forbidden in Sufferrosa, Poland’s latest addition to an already crazed and colourful repertoire of the neon weird. Sufferrosa is a great piece of experimental Godardian storytelling by new media director Dawid Marcinkowski and his crew. Take neo noir, medical Noh punk, cut and paste surgery beautification, a shameless use of audiovisual montage (aided by giants like Sonic Youth or The KLF), mix it, break it and from its splinters reconstruct a bizarre non-linear story about two omnipotent motifs of today’s underlying urban psyche: fear of death and the cult of beauty.

Hello. I am Damage, gonzo journalist, catalyst and an explorer of weird and futurologistic. A month ago I knew how to time travel. Now, only a few hours ago, to my best knowledge, I woke up while being abducted by space aliens and remarkably under the drills. It gives me great satisfaction, erection and self-confidence to conclude that ambassadors of superior civilizations warp time and space just to drill me. And I also think this was also the equivalent of a galactic job interview. Because we finished the new issue of The Dose magazine. About Paris. And you will buy this magazine. Because all the money I will hoard up from sales will go into new pancreas and a one-way ticket to Singapore. But more about this after the embed and the jump.

THE DOSE magazine – Issue 3 (Paris) TEASER

The Dose. For those who’re late for class, it started as a free PDF mag targeting one city per issue to showcase its weird underdog talents: musicians, artists, designers with a focus on music, more music and great eyecandy. I had friends helping me out but it was mostly a solo project and it was a great thing to do, doing a pilot on Budapest and then two more issues, on Tokyo and London. Then three years passed. And we decided to go back to the original plan we liked, I quit being a full-time IT journalist and after long months of working in our free time, here’s the Paris issue. If you were following up on what I did, I promised so many times that this will come that you probably didn’t believe me. But it’s here now.

Yes. The Paris issue. It has features on French steampunk, cyberpunk, netlabels (amazing stuff ranging from mad orgy freejazz to pumping warehouse techno), parkour, psytrance (a great comparison of chocolate and goa!) and fashion. And a great piece of infographics about French bands we loved. Features on LVA, brain hacking and Chinese underground music. Interviews with Clélia Altaïr, Punish Yourself, Lukas Zpira, Die Puppe, Foretaste, Miss Kittin, Scan X, the guys at Dejobaan Games and RJDJ, Nohno / Kibuka, Blue Stahli, Shiv-R and Black Nail Cabaret. And e-readers. And our recommendations for 2010. And lots of reviews.

So spread the news, enjoy the show, buy our mag, support the artists, don’t steal this mag if you don’t exactly need to, send us feedback and contact us if you think you could help us rock more. And here are a few music videos from these previous artists you gonna love!

Aeon Flux Episodes (…) is a shoot-em-up with a bit of parkour action thrown in. (…) If you’ve ever play games like Flashback or Abe’s Odyssey then you may already have a feel for it. Every animation in the game plays at 24 frames per second. No exceptions. (…) It also features the ability to shoot left and/or right independently. This means you can shoot the enemies behind you as you walk forward, or better yet you can shoot the enemies in front and behind simultaneously. (via indiedb.com)

2k10, hatodik szegmens. Az utcán harmincnyolc fok árnyékban, közelebb vagyunk a Naphoz, mint Ausztrália, a hangosan sistergő pergamenbőrű, térdzoknis férfiak országa, ahol amúgy kimutathatóan nem adnak el egyetlen árva darab kerti grillt sem, mert az emberek vagy kidobják az udvarra a nyers húst és már kész is a medium steak vagy kiszaladnak az utcára és letörnek egy szendvicsnyirevalót az óvatlan, hangosan sistergő járókelőkből. Ez itt a Damage Report, a másodmonitoron pedig a jövőt nézem, vízből meg neonmedúzákból áll. (Olvasható a Mondo magazin júliusi számában, a blogban augusztustól.)

FOR ALL MY ENGLISH READERS: Yes, Rez has now a sequel. Child of Eden is affiliated with Ubisoft, Q Entertainment, Tetsuya Mizuguchi and his pop project Genki Rockets. We will buy a PS3 only for this if it doesn’t get released on the Xbox 360.

Summary: Chris Black possesses a power that could lead to the destruction of the current regime, and they will stop at nothing to destroy him. The chase is on as Chris runs for his life in this sci-fi thriller set in an alternate and futuristic Los Angeles. Directed by Ricardo de Montreuil.
