most people will probably recognize the main projects that this group of dutch artists are involved in: julie mittens, machinefabriek, & soccer Committee. so it's pretty exciting when they all get together to make music.
"live edits" collects two side-long tracks from two separate sessions, both in march of this year. beautiful drones that flicker like powerflashes in the distance unfold slowly. using an array of instrumentation such as harmonium, guitar, voice, & taperecorders, the group keep things simple. these recordings glow. they are warm and inviting, but never lose sight of the golden sun that beams from the horizon. stunning music. limited to 150 handnumbered copies with full-color covers and printed labels.

tim goodwillie is the man with a plan. as 1/3 of the mighty (VxPxC), he's got something just for you, just in time for summer. this tape unleashes some ass-shakin' synthesized rhythms - full of fluff and overcooked grooves. goodwillie smokes the greenweed for the greenmachines and makes his pro-one purr. distortion laden beats suck all the air out of the room. it just grows and grows and grows.
"greenmachines for all the childrens" is a final document from the streets of los angeles before these sweet pioneers relocate back home and join us in the midwest. as the goodwillies embark toward kansas city, we welcome them with open arms. limited to 50 handnumbered copies with silkscreened handmade paper covers.

the first incarnation of sea zombies was entombed at bottled smoke in 2007. that one-off performance featured john xela, jefre cantu-ledesma, gregg kowalsky, jed bindeman, & myself. but the original intent of the project was always as a duo between xela & the north sea, with assorted special guests thrown into the mix in various places. it seemed appropriate, then, that the first ever sea zombies release consisted of stripped-down duo recordings. both tracks were launched into the stratosphere during xela's boozed-out visit to tulsa in march of 2008. much blackness was birthed.
"it died in africa" is the first thing we recorded during that fitful week in early spring. accompanied by dudes in africa sermonizing in french, walls of synthesized ruins were blown to bits with oscillating shards of burned-out glass. thick and syrupy and ready for consumption. packaged in oversized black envelopes with gold lettering which house the tape (with black-on-gold cover), insert, and a different african tarot card with each copy. first edition: limited to 100 handnumbered copies in black envelopes SOLD OUT! second edition of 50 in gold envelopes still available.

everyone's favorite japanese cyberpunk brings his walls of tortured noise to the world of digitalis. "trinity sky" is perhaps a softer affair the usual, though the screeching blasts will certainly punch you in the face in the end. siratori's works are dark. they move slow like congealed blood and sound like a machine's last dying breaths. "trinity sky" rushes over you like a buzzsaw, splitting you gently in two.
siratori's music is harsh and heavy at times, but trying to figure out what, exactly, is going on inside these spewing electric bubbles is half the fun and most of the battle. each of these side-long pieces is a clusterfuck of noise, pain, & absolute chaos, told in a way only siratori can. limited to 66 handnumbered copies.
we're also doing a series of ajilvsga split tapes, highly limited, subscription style, with the likes of pete swanson, taiga remains, blue sabbath, black fiji, the futurians, acre, super minerals, saints, the unholy warlock, and more. there will be 30 subscriptions to this available, and some releases will be available in additional, limited quantites on their own. and then there's a massive 3" cd-r boxed set in the works for sometime in 2008.
we're accepting demos now. send tapes or cd-rs to the po box below. DO NOT email me mp3s!! i will just delete them and be annoyed at you for clogging up my inbox.
