1348: Extreme Anti-Semitism Spreads

The attached image features the painting demonstrating a law that restricted the freedom of Jews, where they were forced to wear clothing that identified someone as a Jew.

During the wrath of the Black Plague, a medieval holocaust sparked. Jews were ruthlessly blamed for the plague, accused of pouring deadly powders into main water supplies. This began in Provence, where the first massacre took place, leaving 40 Jews murdered. Due to the rumors of poison, the civic authorities in Germany tortured countless rumors in hopes of a confession. (Winkler, A.) The rumors circulated throughout Europe, causing tremendous damage to many Jewish community's economies, and more tragically, many innocent Jews were killed. Because of the horrors the Jews faced, they were pushed out of their homes and many attempted to flee to other countries, and those who fled to Avignon were protected by the pope. In Switzerland, many Jews were tortured and forced to “admit” to poisoning the water and were framed. Poison was later found in the wells. During this time period, a number of antisemitic laws were put in place. For example, Jews were forbidden from owning land, and they were forced to wear clothing that identified them as a Jew. Even in 1215, the Fourth Lateran Council ordered Jews to wear a badge so they’d be distinguishable. The Black Plague was the catalyst for the medieval holocaust, but the hatred began far before it. When Christianity began its rise in Europe, so did antisemitism. This is thought to be due to the slight distance in beliefs, but mainly the argument of Jesus’ crucifixion. Back then, it was said that the crucifixion was carried out by the Jews and that they were to blame.  Due to these arguments, the conflict between the two religions built up, and as stated previously, the plague was what would inevitably cause the first holocaust.

Ursula 1000 - Movin' To The Sound (Insect Queen Music)

8DPromo · Ursula 1000 - Movin’ To The Sound (Insect Queen Music)

Ursula 1000 is the alter ego of Alex Gimeno, a producer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist based in Brooklyn, New York. He has released eight albums and mix sessions that take listeners on a retro-futuristic journey of exotic grooves and electronic disco funk. He has performed in over 30 countries, collaborated with notable artists such as Fred Schneider of The B52s, Lady Bunny, and Puddles Pity Party, and has had his music featured in various TV shows, ads, and even the Olympics. Now Ursula 1000 pulls out his dusty smiley face shirt from the closet and goes full-on 303 acid house squelch and jacking 808 grooves for this new single. “Movin’ 2 The Sound” showcases Ursula 1000’s signature exotic dreaminess, with elements of acid house, throbbing sequencers, and pumping hip-house action. The Berlin-based duo Acid Jerks provided the first remix, taking the acid house business to peak-time bliss. Meanwhile, Fort Knox Five, a leading force in the international funk and breaks scene, focused on electro vibes and b-boy action. Finally, Red Laser Records duo Il Bosco & Metrodome, also known as DJ Absolutely Shit, cranked up the bass, bleeps, and breaks to 11, bringing rave-ready, time-stretching, day-glo dancefloor destruction. This whole single’s a trip!

Tyler Stadius (Deepen) – “Yeah, love this! Never get tired of good acid.” Frank Peisker (Bureau45 Agency) – “Killer! The dancefloor will be on fire with this retro electro smasher with a modern twist.” Psycho-Jones (Kater Blau) – “This is Ursula 2023. Love it very much.” Shan Frenzie (2SER FM) – “Love the funk edge on the acid grooves.” BMD (XLNT) – “As expected, Fort Knox 5 have nailed it. Great remix.” Steve ‘Griffo’ Griffiths (Subspace Radio Show) – “As a big fan of Acid Jerks, I was stoked to receive this. Muscular acid house vibes that transport me back to 86.”
