Lyrics translated from Ecuadorian Spanish: I'm so fucking pissed at you. Having the balls to tell me that the money girl still owes me. And on top of that, the house looks like a fucking junk hole, every hour of the day. When I wake up in the morning, And when I come back home at night. The kitchen. You leave all your stuff lying all over the kitchen. Spreading you out that way it's always hard to make something to eat, Or even be able to sit down somewhere. The pots and pans always busy. But in a disgusting way. The way you wash things you always leave them dirty. You always let your food burn. And the whole apartment stinks. Never drying or tidying things in the closet. The surfaces, just like the floor, covered with the parts of onions, cigarettes and crap I can't even identify. Hairballs, disgusting. The kitchen, disgusting. Shower, disgusting. Bathroom, disgusting. All sticky and filthy. Disgusting. And filthy. Thick lines of shit. Filthy, sticky, disgusting. Filthy, nasty, gross, disgusting. Grimy, sticky, gross and stinky. All sticky and filthy. I want to puke already. You're bad boy, you're bad. I detest you. Get down on the floor! Get on the floor, bitch, clean up! Get on the floor, bitch, clean up!

about

In collaboration with ∄ and for its second birthday, Standard Deviation presents ’Vertex’ – a compilation of eight artists that contributed in shaping the sound of the Club over the course of the last year. A vertex is a point where several lines or objects meet and intersect with each other. It is synonymous to a node – a fundamental unit that consists of a set of edges that form a greater structure. The concept of a vertex is symbolic to both the Club’s and Label’s approach: connecting the dots between countercultures, bringing together local and international artists to form an inclusive dialogue.

An exchange of ideas, cultures and perspectives remains our main endeavor, and the main idea behind this special release. The compilation features four local and international artists – friends and collaborators, in conversations mediated by Mariana Berezovska, Berlin based Ukrainian journalist and founder of Borshch Magazine. The project is illustrated with a series of ceramic artworks by a Kyiv-based artist Emptyland.
Long-term friend of the Club and Label – Nene H talks with ∄ resident and music teacher – Nastya Vogan, uprising talent and Mala Junta co-founder – DJ Tool comes together with protagonist of Kyiv’s queer scene – Gael, new Label prospect Omon Breaker – with Herrensauna resident Salome as well as Augsburg based, queer party ’HAMAM’s organisator – Sedef Adasi with ∄ resident-since-the-start – Recid.

The compilation is club tailored, ranging from vocal-infused Tech House, Acid and Electro to fast Techno, Trance and EBM. The wide array of styles represented in the compilation is reflective of ∄’s identity, while the artists featured on this release have been shaping the sound of the club during these monumental two years. Special collaborations like Nene H’s vocally explicit work with Nik Mantilla and Omon Breaker’s piece, created in collaboration with Ukrainian EBM group Garden Krist exemplify the label’s stance on shifting genre borders and encouraging experimentation.

In coherence with the last years compilation ’Intermission’, we have asked Emptyland to reinterpret the small Sigma symbol (the mathematical equation of Standard Deviation) according to her own vision of this project. She created five versions of the symbol, each symbolizing the bond between the artists featured on the compilation. The artworks are sold at ∄ only.
