3 New 170 Releases This Month

3 new 170 releases this month to tell you about.  First of all, shipping this Friday from www.surus.co.uk is 'Droids' / 'Never Enough' on Samurai Red Seal 014.  This is available on vinyl & digital.


Also from Samurai, is my release for their new 10" Horo project.  This is a vinyl only project, something special for those of you that still addicted to the black crack :)


Out on the 23rd is my second appearance on one of my fave new labels, Space Cadets.  This time. I'm at the controls myself with a 4 track EP named TMA-1.  There's also a free track that accompanies this release called 'Common Ground', which you can get from the Space Cadets Facebook page.  I'll let you go hunting for it if you don't have it already.

A few 2011 picks, in no particular order

Deepchord - Hash-Bar Remnants Part.2 (Soma)


For me, it's all about Amsterdam Remnant Part.3.  Typical analogue warmth from Rod Modell here, especially when that pad and chords section comes in around about the 3 minute mark.  Probably one of the best tracks he's done on his own for quite some time.

Auxiliary 2012

Here's the lineup for next year so far:

AUXSYM005 - Symbol #5 by Method One
AUXSYM006 - Symbol #6 by East Of Oceans (bvdub)
AUX004 - Ulrich Schnauss & ASC - Theta
AUXCD001 - ASC & Sam KDC - Decayed Society

That should take us up to about March/April. More will be announced later.

bvdub Interview

Brock Van Wey, otherwise known as bvdub needs no introduction to all of you who have your heads screwed on the right way.  Not much really to say other than go and get educated further on the main man himself in this recent interview he did for Organic.

Oh yeah, Symbol #6 will be dropping Feb 2012 by Brock, under his East Of Oceans guise.  See if you can spot the tunes in Auxcast Episode 03.

Research and Development



I recently went back and listened to this LP for the first time in years. I wrote it between 2002 and 2006, and I think some of it still holds up now. Some of it I don't care for too much, but overall as an LP, it's pretty strong. Anyway, this was released on my now defunct Covert Operations label back in 2006. I thought I'd throw it up for free download for those that missed it first time around.
