The first release that came out in July 2021 unleashed 9 Grumblemorph remixes or ‘sub-versions from the 1978 “Feeding of the 5000” Crass debut album mostly using Abelton Live in my battered laptop held together with stickers and sampling a variety of micro synths and various loops and breakbeats and of course the Crass stems.

    In these troubled times and it’s been great to establish musical connections across the world. Encouraging emails from Steve Ignorant, communication with One Little Independent Records ( UK ), and positive reviews from around the world prompted me to remix 4 more Crass tracks.

    Part 2 of the Crass Remix Project entitled ‘Grumble in the Jungle’ has been made on 180gm red vinyl and features 4 more remixes from ’Feeding of the 5000’ as well as a CD containing all the mixes including an extra version of “Do They Owe Us a Living?” referencing that tracks double appearance on the initial 1978 release.
    The vinyl sits in a hand-sewn gatefold sleeve that opes up with more hand-printed graphics fusing Crass-influenced images with Vectorpunk's art, within this, the record has its own hand-printed sleeve. The CD and zine sit in their own cardboard record sleeve. So its an artwork and a record and celebration of D.I.Y culture and dissent.
    The 29-page booklet that goes with the set has a hand-printed cover and looks into Anarcho Punks' influence on the harder spectrum of electronic music in Australia as well as containing the Crass lyrics to all the tracks remixed in the Crass Remix Project.
    The CD that also comes with this package is hand-printed on fabric and sewn together.

Fuck is women's money. We pay with our bodies. There is no purity in our love. No beauty. Just bribery. It's all the fucking same. We make soldiers with our submission. Wars with our isolation. Fuck is women's money. We pay with our bodies. There no purity in motherhood. No beauty. Just bribery. It's all the fucking same. We are all slaves to sexual histories. Our awareness of whoredom can be release. War is mens money. They pay with their bodies. There is no purity in that game, Only blood, death and bribery. It's all the fucking same. But we've got the power.

I am a product. I am a symbol of endless, hopeless, fruitless, aimless games. I'm a glossy packages on the supermarket shelf. My contents aren't fit for human consumption. I could tragically injure your perfect health. My ingredients will seize up your body function. I'm the dirt that everyone walks on. I am the orphan nobody wants. I am the staircarpet everyone walks on. I am the leper nobody wants to touch... much. I am a sample. I am a scapegoat of useless, futureless, endless, mindless ideas. I'm a number on the paper you file away. I'm a portfolio you stick in the drawer. I'm the fool you try to scare when you say "We know all about you, of that you can be sure". Well, I don't want your crazy system, I don't want to be on your files. Your temptations I try to resist them Cos I know what hides beneath your smiles, it's... EST. I am a topic. I am subject a for useless, futureless, endless, mindless debates. You think up ways that you can hide From the naieve eyes of your figurehead, But don't you find that it ain't easy? Wouldn't you love to see me dead? Your answer is to give me treatment For crying out when you give me pain, Leave me with no possible remnant, You poke your knives into my brain, you send me... insane. I am an example. I'm no hero of the great, intelligent, magnificent human race. I'm part of the race that kills for possesions Part of the race that's wiping itself out. I'm part of the race that's got crazy obsessions Like locking people up, not letting them out. I hate the living dead and their work in factories. They go like sheep to their production lines. They live on illusions, don't face the realities, All they live for is that big blue sign, it says, it says... I'M BORED, BORED, BORED, BORED.

The angels are on T.V. tonight, grey puke, celluloid shit. The army have sent a mission to Ireland, just to see to it. Kojac is on the streets again, grey puke, fucking shit. The army say they seek peace in Ireland and they'll see to it. That they keep in line, horizontal hold. Keep in line, vertical hold. Keep in line, brightness. Keep in line, contrast. Keep in line, VISION ON. Coronation Street is on twice a week, grey puke, fucking shit. The army say they seek peace in Ireland And they'll see to it. The army are on the news report. REAL WARS. BULLETS. DEATH. They're beating fuck out of someone they caught just to see to it. That they keep in line, horizontal hold. Keep in line, vertical hold. Keep in line, contrast. Keep in line, brightness. Keep in line, VISION OFF

This country tells us that we're down and out, Got you thinking that we're through. Got to suffer to get us moving, Say it's up to me and you. Well, look around and you'll see who gets the goods, not you or me. Cause they ain't suffering, no, not for us, They're masquerading like pissers must. They abuse us, keep us right underfoot, With the illusions of contentment and good. Well, it's not over, war's still around And they've got no problem when you're underground.

about

This Record/CD/Zine set is the second part of the Crass Remix Project.

The first release that came out in July 2021 unleashed 9 Grumblemorph
remixes or ‘sub-versions' from the 1978 “Feeding of the 5000” Crass debut album mostly using Abelton Live in my battered laptop held
together with stickers and sampling a variety of micro synths and
various loops and break beats and of course the Crass stems.


Thanks to all that have supported this project so far, the first 25 double
clear vinyl records sold out in 2 weeks from their release and another
run of 100 has been produced. Profits from the releases have been
going to the Addison Road Community Centre in Sydney’s Marrickville
who have been distributing food packages to COVID affected
communities in Sydney and beyond. The response to this release in
Australia and the UK/Europe has been heartening in these troubled
times and its been great to establish musical connections across the
world. Emails from Steve Ignorant, communication with One Little
Independent Records ( UK ) and positive reviews from around the world
prompted me to remix 4 more Crass tracks.


Part 2 of the Crass Remix Project entitled ‘Grumble in the Jungle’ which has also been made on 180gm red vinyl features 4 more remixes from ’Feeding of the 5000’ as well as a CD containing all the mixes including an extra version of “Do They Owe Us a Living?” referencing that tracks double appearance on the initial 1978 release.

My aim with the Crass Remix Project is to draw a parallel between
Punk and EDM dance/protest culture and make the release as DIY as
possible utilising hand printed and sewn packaging in the spirit of the
way Crass presented their music and art to foster taking on the means
of production and encouraging dissent against the forces of
oppression.

Australia and the U.K both have self-serving right-wing governments
propped up by the Murdoch/Newscorpse propaganda media murder
machine and both histories of vibrant counter cultural movements.

Australia’s counter-cultural dynamic differs from the U.K with it's
colonial history and dispossession of its first nation peoples.
I feel very lucky to have been involved through environmental activism, travelling and mobile street sound systems and protest to be able to help build bridges with Aboriginal communities encouraging a post-colonial counter cultural people power movement.

Australia has a strong protest and activist culture that has organised to protect Aboriginal lands from mining destruction and manifested inner-city activations to protest Australia Day (the day Captain Cook’s mob invaded Australia and declared it not habited by people in order to plant the Union Jack, the big lie known as Terra Nullius)

The Sporadical zine that accompanies the first CRP release goes into detail about my experience with the DIY free festival culture of the UK 80’s of which Crass was a major part and the Australian experience where a Punk collective called Jellyheads branched out into putting on big community techno parties with the same Anarchist principles that Anarcho-Punk fostered.

In producing this remix project I have met through the correspondence of distributing the records and CD’s many Crass fans here in Australia and in the UK. A Sydney Greens M.P, a signwriter turning up to my screen print business in a Crass Tee Shirt who purchased the record when it was ready and others who were deeply moved by the aesthetic of Crass.
The community that continues to celebrate the band is well represented on Facebook with several pages sharing anything to do
with them and others in the anarcho punk stable. Punk scholars are representing Crass more and more in the fields of academic ethnographic research looking into Punks legacy and there are scores of YouTube videos and interviews about the D.I.Y counter-cultural revolutionary energy of this band.

In 2021 the interest seems to be growing as the powers that be make
the same mistakes and continue to oppress up with their self-serving governance.

As Alastair Gordon notes in his book Crass reflections, Crass helped create an autonomous revolutionary consciousness, which in turn created a new social movement, accentuating protest potentials from a position outside of the culture industry.
The culture industry is the mainstream music industry force of capitalism that took away Punks teeth to repackage them for commercial consumption.
Crass resisted being absorbed into the dominant music culture industry but penetrated that industry with subversive products actively resisting domination.

I moved to Australia in 1987 having experienced Stonehenge, Glastonbury, and various Peace Convoy free festival convergences in the U.K. from 1984-1987.
The diverse music, the sense of mobile community, the counter-culture art visually lampooning the system and the vibes outside the competitive constraints of capitalism had a big impact on my life.

In Australia after initially not finding the same strong underground world I had explored in the UK, I became involved in the very early ’90s with the Jellyheads collective in Sydney’s Inner West. The group was very influenced by UK Anarcho Punk putting on punk and fusion bands, vegan and feminist nights and counter cultural and political films on various issues of the time. They went on to put on big free of fundraising community techno dances with the splinter group Vibe Tribe that look the D.I.Y counter culture legacy into a new arena where technology seemed to be getting harnessed for the good of all and to spread joy, inclusion, and empathy instead of competition, fear and style conformity.

Other members and participants of Jellyheads have continued in the Punk music tradition to this day with regular Punks Picnic events in Sydney Park ad numerous collective and record labels resisting the draw of rave culture.

Sydney Park is Sydney’s Inner West with its iconic chimneys from an old brickworks has been the home of free party events for decades, in 1993 an Anarchist Picnic in the park morphed into an all-night rave that supercharged the Circus Vibe Tribe era that through its events helped with the efforts of many bands, crews, collectives, and up for it party people forge a culture of counter culture Rave activism through the ’90s and ’00s and beyond. Reclaim The Streets was another massive catalyst in Australia for revolutionary activism to change the system, many massive urban occupations in Australia’s major cities occurred challenging the car culture status quo and capitalist normality.
