you have a mailing address, don't you? i do 80 percent of my record buying
by mailorder.

djak-up-bitch are a dutch label associated with i-f/clone/etc. their
releases (some of them, anyway; the ones listed) are in the skam/mas/etc.
vein insofar as they are a less dancefloor-oriented mutation of
hip-hop/electro/techno/electronix, but have so far blown away most of
what's appeared through those labels in recent months.
