I'm naked, mmh mmh
Completely naked, so what?
I'm naked
This is how my mother made me
I'm naked, mmh mmh
So what? It must be
My clothes are too small
I'm naked, mmh mmh
The neighbor is standing at the window
I do not care
That's how nature wants it
Don't get upset
Buy me a new dress
I have nothing to wear
Aren't you sorry?
I'm naked, mmh mmh
Completely naked, so what?
I do not care
That's how nature wants it
That the neighbor sees my tits
Will he survive
He has a television
Maybe he doesn't have a girlfriend
You have one without clothes
Not that great but still
You don't have to undress me
I'm naked, mmh mmh
Completely naked, so what?
I'm naked
This is how my mother made me
Naked, mmh mmh
Naked, oh! shocking!
Naked, grrr grrr
Naked, oh!
Scandal! Cucuque! Oh la la!
I'm naked, mmh mmh
Completely naked, so what?
Now he gets his binoculars, oh!
I'm naked, mmh mmh
Completely naked, so what?
I'm naked, mmh mmh
Completely naked, so what?
Naked, mmh mmh
Naked, so what?
Naked, mmh mmh
Completely naked, so what?
I'm completely naked
Naked, so what?

Miete Strom Gas ft. Patric Catani / Candie Hank & Gina D’Orio: “Die Turen” (Chanson) (2023)
So, what are the DHR-label artists up to these days? Alec Empire is following Nine Inch Nails’ lead and writing motion-picture soundtracks. Christoph De Babalon is releasing low-key jungle and atmospheric tracks; far away from his If You’re Into It I’m Out Of It days (1997). Bomb 20? When was the last timer you heard from him? He just released a new e.p. last year. Lolita Storm and Sonic Subjunkies are virtually non-existent. Shizuo? God bless him. That leaves the team of Patric Catani and Gina D’Orio (EC8OR). What are they making these days? Chanson. That’s what. They re-did Miete Strom Gas’ hit “Die Turen” and turned an electronic-rock lead-off single into a dreamy fancy-pants moment that could’ve been mistaken for a slower version of Stereo Total if they were still around today. It’s a huge one-eighty away of the pounding electronic slaughter they were known for. Go back to lead-heavy trash-jungle beats and D’Orio screetching into a mic- like the good ol’ days where DHR invaded the states like we never heard before. Though, to Catani’s credit, he did an acid-techno remix of the same track with Chris Imler. We get that after almost three decades of progression, artists evolve and take on different sounds and styles of their liking. But, whatever pays the bills, I guess.
I have nothing but fond memories of DHR. I was one of two people on the entire campus who was serious about grabbing everything I could from the label. And because of DHR, I stood out from the vast majority with disposable attitudes who were too shallow to care about anything else other than Top 40 radio or their unoriginal club hits. And then there’s one Christopher Jion who came with his friends to see David Hammer / Shizuo perform in Los Angeles with label-mate Annika Trost (Cobra Killer) and Ghazi (Give Up, Stereo Total). That event was well-documented in the very first issue of Mean Magazine when Atari Teenage Riot, EC8OR, and Shizuo were featured. Jion said that one night made him an electronics artist and started Replicant Impulse who enjoyed an appearance on a DHR compilation and did release several albums from 2005 to 2011.
The turn of the millennium was the last we heard of David Hammer with Shizuo No. 1 and he had plans to follow it up with No. 2 as an artist compilation. That never happened...yet. Hammer died in 2011 and us fans assumed nothing else would surface. All this time Jion had close connections with DJ Scud and assumed that the submissions were lost forever. Not so. Scud still had the original DAT tapes in his possession (with unreleased Shizuo’s material) and Jion & Crash Spader still had their own track they tried submitting with no success. The result? Shizuo No. 2 has finally become a reality.
Shizuo is dead. Long live Shizuo.
