Judgitzu - Sator ArepoThe Sator Arepo, or Sator Square, is an ancient word puzzle comprising five palindromes that's etched on various historical sites throughout the Western world. It's origins are unknown, but the square has long been thought to hold magical properties, used as a charm against illness and evil, to cure insanity or to determine whether someone was guilty of witchcraft.

The Sator Arepo, or Sator Square, is an ancient word puzzle comprising five palindromes that's etched on various historical sites throughout the Western world. It's origins are unknown, but the square has long been thought to hold magical properties, used as a charm against illness and evil, to cure insanity or to determine whether someone was guilty of witchcraft. Self-styled "punk ethnomusicologist", acoustician and musician Julien Hairon uses this mystical symbol as the starting point for his debut Judgitzu album in an attempt to reconnect with his Celtic heritage, exploring how it's hallowed messages might harmonize with contemporary Tanzanian dance music. Hairon has been traveling across the world for over a decade, collecting field recordings from countries such as Indonesia, Australia, Cambodia, China and Bangladesh, and presenting them on his Les Cartes Postales Sonores label, re-issuing any curious cassettes and CDs he came across on the PetPets' TAPES imprint. It was during this time that he became fascinated by rituals that involved spirits, prompting him to examine his own ancestry when he returned to Brittany. "Many artifacts in the landscape remain," Hairon explains, "and the power of spirits is still palpable." He represents this Celtic mysticism on 'Sator Arepo' with murky drones and magickal synth tones, using xenharmonic scales (tuning outside of standard 12-tone equal temperament) that reach back to the ancient world. These sounds are augmented with fast-paced, sci-fi rhythms informed by his time in Tanzania; "Singeli has contaminated me," admits the producer. The most astonishing example of this is 'Miracle', a thrusting soundsystem experiment that layers serpentine, bagpipe-esque electronic wails over extravagant clusters of blocky percussion. Driven by the frenetic 175BPM pulse that echoes through the streets of Dar Es Salaam - popularized globally by forward-thinking producers like Sisso, Duke and Jay Mitta - Hairon opens up a rare conversation, seeking to draw parallels between today's most urgent dance forms and the archaic rituals of antiquity. On 'Vitalimetre', Hairon drives his sonic palette into the red, harmonizing with Dutch hardstyle and gabber, and splaying distorted drones over maddeningly blown-out kicks and ratcheting percussion. 'L'or Des Fous' takes a more meditative route, prioritizing Hairon's eccentric tonality with expressive sheets of pitch-warped sound that ghost walk across energized, rattling beats. If you heard Hairon's last Judgitzu release 'Umeme / Kelele', described by Boomkat as "one of 2019's deadliest dancefloor sessions," then you'll know how mindboggling this material can be. And with 'Sator Arepo', the French producer deepens his reach, grasping a world that we've almost forgotten and juxtaposing it with a landscape most of us barely comprehend.

My little buddy loves it! (Loves it no more)
I ordered this in advance of the arrival of my 11 wk old Corgi pup. Not knowing what kind of a chewer I was getting, I wanted something that squeaked but did not have too many extremities to rip and tear at. I also didn't want too much stuffing to end up all over my house and in my buddy's tummy. It is soft and well constructed. I like that the snake is compartmentalized so that if one segment is breached, the others are not. As it turned out, at this time, my pup is not a violent ripper (except for with paper and cardboard). After a week of testing, it is his favorite toy. It took him about two days to figure out how to squeak it and boy does he love it. It is the only toy he will haul around, which is hilarious because its bigger than he is. It is also the only toy that he will play fetch with. I'm also working on "leave it" with the with him. Nemo chews a lot, but hasn't shown much interest in ripping at his toys, so after a week (if it were washed) it could probably pass as new. I also try to switch him over to a bone or rubber toy when he starts getting really excited. I am weary since my last dog was a lab who would shred her toys in seconds. Nemo was ripping at the tag (something about paper) so I cut that off to prevent a seem getting opened up. I'm surprised that the tongue is still intact. The tongue and eyes are weak links and Nemo does like to chew on them. Overall, I'm very pleased with this toy. My husband was skeptical and thought it a bit ridiculous, but even he has decided it was a good buy. *Update* Our original snake lasted 7 months. Nemo loved it. He would carry it around with him and squeak it till my husband and I went insane. He had mastered the rapid fire squeak. It was also the only toy he would reliably fetch. After 7 months my pup had punctured two of the squeakers and the fur was getting threadbare in some place. But overall we were very happy with the product. Last week we had a guest GSP at our home and he demolished the toy within minutes. Shredded all of the squeakers and the casing. So we were forced to get Nemo a new one. Unfortunately they have since changed the design. There is now a piping that goes all the way around the snake (before it was blind stitched). Nemo has a thing about tags and edges, he works slowly and methodically to nibble them off. Once the piping was compromised, Nemo had easy access to the squeakers. This new version of the toy lasted only a few hours. I am extremely disappointed with the changes made. I have reduced my 5 star review to 1 star and will no longer recommend this product.

These really are durable and tough!
OMG! I have 2 large dogs. A 90 lb.golden retriever and a 75 lb. black lab mix. They LOVE to chew and every squeaky toy I have bought for them is demolished in less than 2-3 days! Even the KONG brand. I have spend hundreds of dollars on various dog toys, chews, squeaky toys, etc.None of them stood a chance! LOL So, I saw these "stuffingless durable tough" snakes and decided to give it a try! Why not? My husband even told me NOT to buy them as they would just be torn apart in days. The snakes came and each dog got one. I ordered 2 of the same color in red. At first, they weren't quite sure what to do with them as they are pretty long. Approximately 2 feet. They slowly began to trust that this was indeed a "toy" and began chewing on them and our golden retriever was tossing the snake up in the air and biting down on it as it fell to the ground. I also like the fact that the squeakers are a low volume and not so high pitched squeak! Well, long story short, they have now had the snakes for 6 days and they are still intact and the dogs absolutely love them!!!! I am so happy I finally found a dog toy that my dogs don't destroy!!! I will definitely be buying more!! Lainie Sammamish, Washington

Frickin' nailed it!
Size: Jumbo, Style: Beef, Size: Jumbo, Style: Beef
If your puppy: -has nightly zoomies that you can't explain -only wants plushy toys -But immediately tears those plushy toys two pieces leaving a bunch of stuffing all over your house This is the toy you are looking for. Your puppy is teething and his teeth hurt and they are driving him insane, thusly driving you insane. This little piece of rubber changed my dog's behavior within an hours of being in the house. Very durable. Worth every penny

My 30 pound 7 month old puppy was tearing it apart.
Size: Jumbo, Style: Chicken, Size: Jumbo, Style: Chicken
I gave little Charlee back the bone for a size comparison. She's trying to rip off a piece that she chewed loose. This puppy is only 30 pounds and 7 months old. The bone is clearly rated for puppies up to 8 months old and 60 pounds. It is rated for dogs twice her weight and she was trying to pull chunks off of it. When she grows up she'll still be within the weight limit. There is a lot more damage than pictured and she may have eaten a couple of missing spikes. She is a strong and mildly destructive chewer, but this is unacceptable. I have a smaller version of this bone without the spikes and it has lasted months of gnawing, so I expected that quality to carry over to it's larger cousin. This was a big disappointment.
