“The March Issue is HUNKER DOWN ROY’s effort to twist your earbrain up into an unfamiliar knotspace. Hints of madness and method entangle you as you listen to it. This release features contributions from the notorious Crash Mitchell, as well as remixes by Mike Love 666 and Bloxwich Beat Box.”
“Set to stand alone with a strong physical presence is Ophibre’s REFERENCE. This sonic sculpture communicates through complex interconnected paths that breathe as natural forces allow them to adapt. The track begins with a prickly textural abstraction, both organic and mechanical, and then continues to a melodic and psychedelic outgrowth of the original movement.
Unified by layers of recordings the first half of REFERENCE is shaped by the experiences of the past, not directly representational but guided by spiritual and intellectually developed sonic imagery. The floating quality of atonal noise creates a moving mirage of thoughts and memories that are shifted and refracted through the second movement. The melodic movement solidifies the references to the past as it allows for meditative tones to set a common focus that acts as a guide to self-awareness.”
“Due to overwhelming demand, Gas 0095 has been remastered and re-released into the wild. This first release on the new microscopics label has been a much sought after item for collectors everywhere, fetching up to $460 on eBay. Painstakingly remastered at 32bit/96khz from the original studio tapes, with a luxurious 32db dynamic range, which in these days of hyper-compressed music is pure oxygen.”
“Hermetic Sound surprise us with their latest net-release. Vastly different from the house and drum & bass tracks we were used to from them, this release is an intelligent mixture of hard driving beats, sonic experimentation and provocative samples. Sweet and luscious melodies bring light and hope into the dark and claustrophobic ambiances achieved by ruthless complex rhythms and oppressive sounds.”
“A fusion of 90s electro and its requisite Twin Peaks fixation with the hilarious concept feel of a Parliament-Funkadelic LP, Nameless sees Zero V on a continuing mission to ‘publish whatever possible!’
Included are remixed versions of demo tracks from his unpublished album, To Dance or Not To Dance, and new tracks which make up for a slight lack of ideas of the re-release of Leaves of Grass. ‘Thinks’ works around the drone from a moog and the occasional radiowaves are spot-on. The album is produced by Zero V and DJ PulseID.”
“This is a large compilation with many artists from all over the world. With sounds from pure minimal to techhouse to deep techno, techno and electro. Enjoy this wonderful 21 track compilation.”
“A heapin’ helpin’ of noise served up from the kitchen of Kristin Calvarese. Shes lighting up the Central Florida noise scene like a fire in a flammable pajamas factory.”
“Baby Desires Leg Suicide

“Grayscale Is Failing was composed from a variety of digital and treated analog field recordings. The resulting compositions were conceived through a variety of computer-based manipulations. For me, this grouping of works has assumed a very visual quality, as the source recordings used to create it were procured in the metropolitan districts of Kansas City, USA during the winter of 2007. I feel that these works tend to portray a digital vision of the subtle aspects of winter in urban America; it’s long nights and short days shadowed by overcast skies, giving way to portraits of dimly lit buildings and city streets that serve as a scaffolding for the continuous advance of technology, while at the same time, allowing for the mass consumption of the remnant.”
“Minus is Daniel Stanciu, a 21 years-old Romania-born computer science student. He’s been making tracks for a few years, trying to focus on the emotional aspect of music– rather than its technical side. Style ranges from 8-bit and old school electro to dub, down tempo and ambient music with vague references to math, fuzzy childhood memories, and old video games.”
