SEMERSSUAQ STOMP

February 11th, 2009

Almost a couple of weeks ago Semerssuaq came back together.
The blasting dj duo, by founder members of Sistemi Audiofobici Burp soundsystem, WJ Meatball (Jealousy Party) and JD Zazie (B Unit) played an amazing set of fractured rhythms and idiosyncratic juxtapositions.
They played at Dienstbar at Ballast der Republik in Berlin as we posted here.
After a three years hiatus they are back and they never been better. The Black Hole of Deejaydom is pulsing again.

We’ve been lucky enough to have El Guiscardo there taking this couple of clips for our listening pleasure

LET’S GET COX 18, CALUSCA AND THE PRIMO MORONI ARCHIVE BACK

February 8th, 2009

On January 22nd 2009, at 7:00 AM, around one hundred policemen entered the Cox 18 squat, which includes the social center (created more than 33 years ago), the Calusca City Lights bookstore (founded in 1971) and the Primo Moroni Archive. Within a few hours, the answer by the city was explicit and quick: a number of comrades, friends and neighbours met up in front of the squat and the armoured police units to confront the unwelcome guests. It’s clearly an illegal eviction which doesn’t consider a legal action already going on since July 2008, between the City Administration and the Cox 18 squat, with the sole purpose of taking legal possession of the building. Vice-Mayor De Corato, one the main heads trying to suffocate whatever isn’t uniformed, gives the responsibility of the action to the police commander-in-chief and the Regional Administration. The Public Prosecutor says he wasn’t informed of anything until the eviction was on. Not a real problem, because all the protagonists agree on the fact that the economic value of the building shouldn’t go down. They’re talking about money and economic interest, like a reasonable explanation for what is going on. At the present moment, the squat is sealed and under seizure, with all the materials inside, including books and magazines from both bookstore and archive. The Cox 18 squat, the Calusca Bookstore and the Primo Moroni Archive represent an important piece of radical and workers’ history; they testify the possibility to elude the principle of commercialization of things and thoughts. We’re not alone, we’ve got the company of others squats, places of free expression and exchange of ideas. Our survival is the survival of freedom of expression, thought and action; of the chance to master our own destiny and future, of any chance not to be judged and considered for what we can/want to spend. It’s pretty clear that we don’t consider this “game” over: we recognize the ones refusing the homogeneity of monolithic thought guaranteed by the market and this pseudo-democracy. They want us to be compatible, buyers and buyable, ordered and uniformed; we’ll remain what we know we are: original, always ready to spread knowledge, not homogenous and critical to whatever is imposed as truth.

RIPRENDIAMOCI COX 18, LA CALUSCA E L’ARCHIVIO PRIMO MORONI
Il 22 gennaio 2009, alle 7.00 del mattino, un centinaio di poliziotti è entrato nel Centro Sociale Conchetta, fondato più di 33 anni fa, e nella libreria Calusca, nata nel 1971 e sede del prezioso e storico archivio Primo Moroni. La risposta della città è stata tempestiva: in breve, si sono radunati davanti ai blindati delle forze dell’ordine molti compagni, amici, abitanti del quartiere. Si tratta di uno sgombero illegale che non tiene conto di una causa intentata dal comune al centro sociale nel mese di luglio 2008 per la riappropriazione dei locali, una vertenza ancora in corso. Il vice-sindaco De Corato, da sempre in prima linea contro le realtà cittadine non omologate, scarica su questore e prefetto la responsabilità dell’operazione. Il Pubblico Ministero sostiene di essere stato avvisato a giochi fatti. Poco importa: tutti, invece, concordano sul fatto che l’importanza dell’operazione sia che il Comune non perda il valore dell’area. Si tratta di una questione “patrimoniale”, come se questo bastasse a spiegare e a giustificare tutto. Il risultato, al momento, vede il centro sigillato e sotto sequestro con tutti i materiali dentro, compresi i libri e le riviste della libreria e dell’archivio. Il Centro Sociale Conchetta, la Calusca, l’Archivio Primo Moroni rappresentano un pezzo di storia importante, e testimoniano oggi la possibilità di eludere il principio di mercificazione. Con essi, in buona compagnia, diversi altri centri sociali, luoghi di libero accesso e libero scambio. La loro sopravvivenza deve essere la sopravvivenza della libertà di agire, di farci padroni del nostro futuro, di non essere pesati per quanto possiamo / sappiamo / vogliamo spendere. Per quanto ci riguarda non consideriamo chiusa la partita, riconosciamo chi rifiuta l’omogeneità del pensiero unico del mercato: ci vogliono compatibili, compratori comperabili, ordinati e consenzienti; resteremo ciò che sappiamo essere, ciò che siamo: originali, comunicanti, disomogenei. Chiediamo a tutti di farsi carico di un pezzo di questo percorso, che è percorso di tutti.
(i compagni e le compagne di Milano presenti all’assemblea cittadina del 22/01/09 presso la sede USI di viale Bligny)
