Amek nl_18: Vanishing Standards II
New music, new videos, and a 30% off for all our Substack readers
This is the last Amek transmission for 2021, we bring another busy year to a close with a few last updates, the most important of which the release of the new volume of Vanishing Standards, a compilation that has now grown to become a series. Always looking ahead, we’re rarely interested in recaps but this year ends with 13 new Amek releases and few quite memorable live shows. We also managed to work on three zines, put together our first (secret) mixtape and did hundreds of hours of radio broadcasts.
Of course, this wouldn’t be possible without everyone who shows up at our events, drops by the merch stall, scores our stuff on Bandcamp, or digs the records and zines we distribute for friends from all over the world. To thank you we’ve prepared a small end of the year sale so you can fill in the gaps of your Amek collection. Find the details below.
