No Limits (7)

The origin of NO LIMITS dates back to late 1990, when friends Enzo and Matjaz decided to form a band initially named MENTAL AFFLICTION. The original lineup consisted of five members: Enzo (vocals), Matjaz (drums, ex-Salem), Pasko (bass, ex-Salem), Valko (guitar, ex-Alcoholica), and Bostjan (guitar, ex-Radical Vomitator). They performed their debut show in April 1991 at their hometown venue, MKC, opening for the Italian band RITMO TRIBALE. During the first half of 1991, they recorded the track "BEERMANIA" at a local radio station's studio, which gained popularity among local audiences.

The band's diverse musical style, encompassing hardcore, thrash metal, death metal, and jazz-funk, made it difficult to categorize them. Due to frequent misinterpretations of their name as "Metal" Affliction instead of "Mental" Affliction, they rebranded to NO LIMITS by the end of 1991. Shortly after this change, Valko departed, leaving NO LIMITS as a four-member group.

Around the same time, they lost their rehearsal space, and it took nearly a year to find a new practice room thanks to a supportive individual named Ivancek, where they continued to rehearse until 2003. Their first demo tape, titled "OUR LITTLE WOODEN HOUSE," was recorded in March 1993 on a four-track recorder in their practice space. Despite a steady gigging schedule, internal discord led to Pasko's departure at the end of 1994. He was soon replaced by the young and talented Evgen, but Bostjan's mandatory National Service in 1995 hindered the band's progress. Upon Bostjan's return, NO LIMITS welcomed Evgen and began writing new songs that, while still maintaining elements of ultrafast hardcore, thrash metal, grindcore, ska, hip hop, and melodic punk, showcased a more structured approach.

However, Evgen's military service interrupted their plans to record new material, leading Enzo to release live recordings to preserve their music. In May 1998, they released a one-hour tape entitled "JURASSIC PUNK," produced entirely through a DIY approach. Evgen left the band in June 2000, leaving them without a bassist.

On April 30, 2001, they held a 10th anniversary celebration at a small venue called Kantina, where they played alongside Pasko and Evgen at various points during the event. Following this celebration, Pasko agreed to assist with recording remaining songs. On March 3, 2003, they self-released their long-awaited first full-length studio album, "WWW.BORBA.NON-STOP."

In autumn 2004, Bostjan chose to leave the band, marking a challenging period for NO LIMITS. A new guitarist, Konki, joined from another city, and the band spent nearly a year rehearsing with him. Their first concert with Konki was a tribute to their late friend Teodora, which Bostjan attended, rekindling a sense of camaraderie among the group. They performed as a five-member band until their 15th anniversary, after which Konki left to focus on his ska band, Los Nipples. Shortly before Konki's departure, Pasko also exited the band, and Evgen returned to play bass.

Following a mini-tour in the Czech Republic, Germany, and Austria, NO LIMITS experienced successful shows and began preparing for a new album. In 2010, Dexter joined as the bassist. In spring 2013, a tribute CD to Ratos de Porao titled "Ratomaniax" was released in Brazil, featuring NO LIMITS' contribution, "O Sistema Me Engoliu." Later that month, they released their long-anticipated new album, "HARDCORE," which received positive reviews in Slovenian music publications and has been promoted since.

Throughout their career, NO LIMITS played hundreds of shows for audiences ranging from one to a thousand people, sharing stages with bands such as Ratos de Porao, Agnostic Front, Biohazard, Brujeria, Total Chaos, M.D.C., Municipal Waste, and many others. Their lyrics addressed themes including racism, fascism, A.I.D.S., drugs, alcohol, working-class struggles, animal rights, church, wars, politics, youth culture, friendships, tattoos, economic and ecological crises, and the meaning of life, often infused with self-irony and humor. Over the years, their sound evolved to become more powerful, fast, direct, and impactful. NO LIMITS officially disbanded after 25 years on May 20, 2016.

Cleaning

Mastering Vinyl Care: Essential Cleaning Techniques

Cleaning your vinyl records is crucial for preserving their sound quality and longevity, ultimately protecting your investment. Dust, fingerprints, and grime can accumulate on the surface of your records, leading to skips and pops during playback. You should invest in a quality record cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth or a dedicated record brush. For best results, apply the cleaning solution in a circular motion, moving from the outer edge toward the center. This method ensures that you do not push dirt deeper into the grooves. For records valued at $100 or more, you’ll want to handle them with extra care to maintain their condition and resale value.

Additionally, consider using a vacuum record cleaner for deep cleaning. This method can remove dust and debris that traditional cleaning might miss, ensuring that your records play smoothly and sound their best. Regular cleaning can significantly enhance your listening experience and extend the life of your records, making it a vital practice in record collecting.

Remember, a well-maintained record can easily preserve its value, making cleaning an essential part of your vinyl care routine.

Pro Tip: Use distilled water in your cleaning solution to avoid mineral deposits that can damage your records over time.
