* PREORDER * DIAT - S.O.36 Berlin Sept '22 LP

* PREORDER * expected to arrive early-mid July

Limited edition of 700 copies.

Highly recommended.

If you've been with Strangeworld since the beginning (late 2015) - and before the words Station, Violence and Model were sequenced - chances are you were encouraged to buy Diat's albums, Positive Energy or Positive Disintegration. Two killers examples of post-punk.

There was a moment Diat were due to tour Australia.

On a rare evening in 2022, the city of Berlin found all 4 members of its favorite gloomy post-punk band inside the walls of the legendary Kreuzberg venue S.O.36. A historic and culturally vital institution that has housed heaps of classic performances reaching all the way back to 1978.

DIÄT was in top form this evening, and we were lucky to learn the sound people were wise enough to hit record at the desk. The set was atmospheric and tense throughout but highlighted with moments of intimate playfulness that one is normally only privy to in person.

The crowd was treated to a mixed bag of beloved album tracks and obscure catalog deep cuts—some of which have never been available on vinyl before now. The band rarely played at that point and will most likely not play again any time soon, so this LP is your best shot at hearing one of the greatest bands do the thing they were born to do.

FFO: New Order bootlegs, ZickZack deep cuts, Australian post punk, German efficiency.
