the upcoming shiz

hey! aiight, some updates on current projects -
The main thing we're working on at the moment is the upcoming "Magnetism, That Electricity.." compilation and label night. This project got started after being offered the night at the Luminaire this coming january. Rather than just having a gig night, i thought it would be kinda cool to turn it into something bigger, and at first thought i should do a DVD-R compilation along the lines of last years "Analog For Architecture", with some main content and a whole load of extras. The timeline is just a little tight for collecting so much material, so i figured it would be better to focus the time on just making it a three EP collection from the artists playing at the gig. It seems a more fitting release for the event, and should be easier to bring together in time for January. Mat is still working on the artwork, but we think it should be somewhere along the lines of the flyer image, with the red sorta superhero lightning bolt, and musically will have three EPs from Mandelbrot, Fisk Industries and a collection of Marcia related projects. I'm very excited about it!

Following shortly after that, we'll have a new three track EP from San Francisco based Nyles Lannon under his n.Ln guise - a welcome return for the lad, with three gorgeous new tracks. Nyles sent me the finished tracks a few days ago, and they're pretty stunning. Long sprawling ambient indie electronics which i'm sure you'll dig! Artwork/packaging, we're going to release on a 3" cdr in a small metal tin with clear glass window, with some kind of insert to show through the window. I'll post up some ideas when we've got some mockups of the art.

I was speaking on the phone with Chris Motion last night, the creator of our Recon 'White Label' release from a few years back. I haven't seen Chris in about a year, and he's coming up for our xmas party tomorrow, so I'm very excited to catch up with him! He's been crafting away on what sounds like a very interesting project, moving away from his broken dub techno creations, and working with strange loops of lounge and exotica, which in his capable hands I'm sure will produce some amazing results. We're looking into how cheaply we could produce a small run of 7" EPs.

well, theres loads more i could mention, but i'll save some surprises for future postings!
