News from the fine folks at Obliq about an upcoming release...
---
Obliq Recordings was formed in 1996 after discovering a void in the American
Independent record label scene for experimental non-dance oriented
electronics. Since then, Obliq has found a niche for melodic, deconstructed
beat overtures. Obliq's releases range from blissful ambient washes to
downtempo disjunct grooves. Obliq Recordings operates from Rural Colorado,
USA.
Obliq Recordings has seven releases to date. The first two releases were
CD-R limited and are out of print. The first compilation was "Wired Spaces"
featuring early Multicast and Freq Modif material. The second Obliq release
was a Live Multicast recording, "Live at I.C.A. 1997".
In 1998 Obliq released a compilation CD with tracks from Multicast, Freq
Modif, Ted Sturgeon, devslashnull, and Finder. These CDs were individually
numbered to 1000 with hand silk screened, glow in the dark covers. Reviews
of the CD were included on the IDM listserver, Feedback Monitor, The
Underground Hacker's Digest and UK's Headspin Magazine.
The next release was Obliq's first limited vinyl release, the Multicast 12"
EP. This featured 4 tracks including an aii Record's Accelera Deck remix.
The covers were hand silk screened on various colored paper stock. The 12"
was reviewed in Berlin's DeBug magzine. Multicast also produced a video for
"Hall of the Inverted Mushrooms".
Teaming up with the Iron Feather Journal, Obliq released another Multicast
EP 10" with issue #17 of the Journal. Included on this 3 track single was a
Pitchcadet Record's m-tec remix. Reviews appeared in DeBug, Grooves, XLR8R,
and CMJ Monthly magazines. The EP made the German magazine Raveline's Top
10 in December at #6. Obliq Recording's current release is a Multicast
limited 7" single packaged inside a retro 8" floppy diskette. The release
contains some of Multicast's best work to date.
Obliq artists also have appeared on several compilations. Multicast and
Freq Modif appear on the Iron Feather Journal #16 Choonz & Warez, Pitchcadet
and aii Records Cadaract Beats compilation, KVCU Radio 1190 double CD
compilation, and I.C.A.?s Math, Deepspace and Noizy1 compilations.
