Pride

In almost every list pride (Latin, superbia), or hubris, is considered the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins, and the source of the others. It is identified as a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to acknowledge the good work of others, and excessive love of self (especially holding self out of proper position toward God). Dante's definition was "love of self perverted to hatred and contempt for one's neighbour." In Jacob Bidermann's medieval miracle play, Cenodoxus, pride is the deadliest of all the sins and leads directly to the damnation of the titulary famed Parisian doctor. In perhaps the best-known example, the story of Lucifer, pride (his desire to compete with God) was what caused his fall from Heaven, and his resultant transformation into Satan. In Dante's Divine Comedy, the penitents were forced to walk with stone slabs bearing down on their backs to induce feelings of humility.

Your punishment in Hell will be to be broken on the wheel.

Pride is linked with the horse and the color violet.

Envy

Like greed, Envy (Latin, invidia) may be characterized by an insatiable desire; they differ, however, for two main reasons: First, greed is largely associated with material goods, whereas envy may apply more generally. Second, those who commit the sin of envy resent that another person has something they perceive themselves as lacking, and wish the other person to be deprived of it. Dante defined this as "a desire to deprive other men of theirs." Envy can be directly related to the Ten Commandments, specifically "Neither shall you desire... anything that belongs to your neighbour". In Dante's Purgatory, the punishment for the envious is to have their eyes sewn shut with wire because they have gained sinful pleasure from seeing others brought low. Aquinas described envy as "sorrow for another's good".

Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation.

Your punishment in Hell will be to be put in freezing water.

Envy is linked with the dog and the color green.

Franz's musical career started in his teens, where he travelled much of Italy playing concerts with his noise/rock band. At the same time he began collecting records encompassing a wide variety of genres. Here was his opportunity amalgamate and switch between several differing styles.

His Dj and promotions career began in 2005, he moved from Italy to Berlin in 2007. Since then he’s been all over town enforcing his DJ talents and has managed to play all main underground clubs as well as well known hip locations around the city and built up a strong network of music lover and players of the music segment., Not to mention run successful nights in some of Berlin's most popular venues. He runs the Slow Motion parties and label between Italy and Berlin. Slow Motion (EastCoastDisco) stands for good quality electro and obscure italo disco sound mixed with all swinging kind of music styles. His dj set is a mix of electro, old school disco, obscure italo disco, detroit, chicago, techno, acid, new-wave, 80's.

Slow Motion operates since 2005 as an event organization collective in the field of electronic music, club installation, visual art and disco dancing.

The parties that we create and promote with SLOW MOTION are: East Coast Disco, Teenage from Mars, Wrong Era, RetroFuturo. NuFunKlan.

The 2009 is the year of the launch of the label “SLOW MOTION RECORDS”; A platform for high quality electronic disco form the home of Italo, has been lacking for some time, and so we wanted to take our time in finding the best possible music that represents the sound we love and the music of our parties.

Lust

Lust or lechery (carnal "luxuria") is usually thought of as excessive thoughts or desires of a sexual nature. Aristotle's criterion was excessive love of others, which therefore rendered love and devotion to God as secondary. In Dante's Purgatorio, the penitent walks within flames to purge himself of lustful/sexual thoughts and feelings. In Dante's "Inferno", unforgiven souls of the sin of lust are blown about in restless hurricane-like winds symbolic of their own lack of self control to their lustful passions in earthly life.

Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body and is linked with the cow and the color blue.

You're punishment in Hell is to be smothered in fire and brimstone.

Matt Moroder (aka miKrodiZko)

After releasing his first tracks on the short-lived but no less notorious Label Glossy Matt Moroder unveiled his new label Little Leaf last summer which release his own and other producers reworks of songs that are not your usual disco / boogie fare but demand a true digger's and imaginative DJ’s mind to spot their dancefloor potential.
Matt has the perfect surname to be involved in the disco scene and was behind one of last years most hypnotic releases, ‘Secret Secret‘, the first release on his own Little Leaf imprint. It was a slow-mo version of a Bowie track looped and looped on chunky drums with the vocal kicking in after some time.

For the second and far overdue release on his Little Leaf imprint Matt Moroder delivers a superlative psychedelic reimagination of Shuggie Otis ‘Aht Uh Mi Hed‘ which sits far beyond the realm of your blog standard Ableton edit.
When it comes to djing Matt can push the tempo for sure and rocked crowds in Hamburg, Berlin, Rotterdam. Melbourne, Paris, Vienna to name a few citys where he left his trademark sound. Don`t miss his incredible mix of Disco, Early-House, Italo Synth and Afro Sound when he comes to your town.

Anger

Wrath (Latin, ira), also known as anger or "rage", may be described as inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger. Anger, in its purest form, presents with self-destructiveness, violence, and hate that may provoke feuds that can go on for centuries. Anger may persist long after the person who did another a grievous wrong is dead. Feelings of anger can manifest in different ways, including impatience, revenge, and vigilantism.

Wrath is the only sin not necessarily associated with selfishness or self-interest (although one can of course be wrathful for selfish reasons, such as jealousy, closely related to the sin of envy). Dante described vengeance as "love of justice perverted to revenge and spite". In its original form, the sin of wrath also encompassed anger pointed internally rather than externally. Thus suicide was deemed as the ultimate, albeit tragic, expression of wrath directed inwardly, a final rejection of God's gifts.

Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath. You do it, because you're wired for it. Also, the people around you are pretty damn irritating.

Your punishment in Hell will be to be dismembered alive.

Anger is linked with the bear and the color red.

Greed

Greed (Latin, avaritia), also known as avarice or covetousness, is, like lust and gluttony, a sin of excess. However, greed (as seen by the church) is applied to a very excessive or rapacious desire and pursuit of wealth, status, and power. St. Thomas Aquinas wrote that greed was "a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things." In Dante's Purgatory, the penitents were bound and laid face down on the ground for having concentrated too much on earthly thoughts. "Avarice" is more of a blanket term that can describe many other examples of greedy behavior. These include disloyalty, deliberate betrayal, or treason,especially for personal gain, for example through bribery . Scavenging and hoarding of materials or objects, theft and robbery, especially by means of violence, trickery, or manipulation of authority are all actions that may be inspired by greed. Such misdeeds can include simony, where one profits from soliciting goods within the actual confines of a church.

As defined outside of Christian writings, greed is an inordinate desire to acquire or possess more than one needs or deserves, especially with respect to material wealth.

Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual.
You'll punished by being boiled alive in oil. Bear in mind that it's the finest, most luxurious boiling oil that money can buy, but it's still boiling.
Greed is linked with the frog and the color yellow.
