Happy October everyone. I am happy to present a mixed, restructured version of the Auton “Tute Bianche” EP which will henceforth be known by the name “Tute Bianche (Bodyhammer Version)”. This is the result of a commissioned original Auton mix by the lads at TRAM Planet Records, who were very patient in allowing me to submit not a DJ mix (something I feel is beyond the scope of the multimedia-production-oriented project Auton), but instead an industrial dub reinterpretation of the four tracks they are pressing to vinyl, mixed for long playing trance-state enjoyment. You can stream it via the embedded player above.
Samples were lifted and manipulated from the 2002 short German / Italian documentary Ganz In Weiß – Tute Bianche produced by EIKON, which was kindly uploaded for public use by the incredible resource Anarchistische Gemeinschaft. You can watch it in full (German subtitles) below:
Auton – “Tute Bianche (Bodyhammer Version)” will be available soon as a cassette on the Seith Communiti imprint. The title makes reference to the zine “Bodyhammer: Tactics And Self-Defense For The Modern Protester” by sarin, which was popular among Tute Bianche / ¡Ya Basta! / various padded bloc movements for its frank and instructive discussion of strategy, theory and guides for constructing DIY anti-riot-control implements. Sarin’s Bodyhammer zine is available as a free PDF here.
