cold lampin'

aiight! been too busy to blog on here the past week - all is very good tho!

i'm totally in love with the new website look - need to buy mat quite a few beers for that! Getting it live and finishing tweaks took up most of last weekend, but we pushed it all through so we could launch with the "Magnetism.." release this week, and do a big press push on everything at once.

thanks for all the enthusiasm over the Magnetism release - loads of orders have come through and been mailed out. I don't forsee the 100 cdrs lasting for very long! Nice to see so many people opting for the vinyl option - its gonna be worth it! Its going to be deluxe with a capital 'D'.

We've had a few early articles and reviews already - Wired magazine's Listening Post blog did a nice post about the launch and its tiered pricing model, and then first review came in this morning from boomkat, who said some very nice words about it, but my favorite part was "chronically out of fashion post-Autechre beat narratives" - in the context, i think its meant as a complement - but i love the idea of being chronically out of fashion!

In the absence of SFH for vinyl pressing, I shopped around loads last week, eliciting as many recommendations from friends and labels as possible, and chose to go with Sound Performance in the end. Not sure if it was a strictly scientific reasoning behind going with them (although they did actually offer the best price too), but based on the recommendations and from speaking with them on the phone, i just got quite a good feeling from them.

more soooooooooon.....

something for the weekend..

man - so looking forward to four days of nothing for this easter holiday, been a hectic couple of weeks! however - if i was living in glasgow, i would definitely be off to the Fortified Sessions gig with 2562 and The Village Orchestra tomorrow night, 21st march. Check http://www.myspace.com/theelectriceliminator for details. Theres a new TVO 12" coming out on Stuff records with a 2562 remix.
Theres an excellent 2562 DJ mix kicking around on a bunch of forums at the moment. You can get it from: yousendit - its *really* good!

We got the test masters for the 'Magentism' release through from Twerk - they sound excellent! I should be able to download disc images this weekend, and get the release off for pressing early next week. rar!

New website redesign is coming along - you can have a cheeky gander at a screen shot here - i think we should make some good headway with it this weekend.

Been on a bit of an old school hip hop kick this week, and been digging some old Jungle Brothers, so i'll leave you with a wee track to get you in the weekend vibe - Jungle brothers - straight out the jungle

have a good easter weekend!
