Hey all,
One of the artists on 8bitrecs.com, DoF, is set to release an album.
'If More Than Twenty People Laugh, It Wasn't Funny' will be in stores by
April 21st, 2003, released on Highpoint Lowlife records, and distributed
by Shellshock UK. Highpoint Lowlife records is kind of like the real world
equivalent of 8bitrecs.com, run by the same bums that do the website( me
+ a friend).
The music is highly original, post-aphex awkward granulated drum
programming, yet contrasted with really beautiful acoustic guitar and
piano. If you haven't heard any of the DoF tracks on 8bitrecs, then check
out the mp3's at:
http://www.8bitrecs.com/cgi/artinfo.cgi?artist=DoF
And then when you have downloaded, listened, and thought 'wow, these are
so good, where can i get the album, and how can i get it sooner than the
release date, because i like it so much, i just can't wait?!'
Then take a trek over to
http://www.highpointlowlife.com where we have
just added a new secure online shop where you can pick up the DoF album
now! To celebrate our new release, we are also selling the remaining
copies of our first compilation 'Tired Of Standing Still' at a super
reduced price! The compilation features a few of the 8bitrecs
artists - Broker/Dealer and Jefre Cantu (tarentel), and also features
tracks by The Stratford 4, Wobbly (under the guise of
Brindle Spork), The Jim Yoshi Pileup, Sappington, and three other Tarentel
side projects!

And if anyone is still reading this far down -
i went to the Hrvatski show in London last night.
His set was amazing, starting with a KFW treated guitar
track, gradually building things up into his crazy dsp
beats. He crashed his machine twice, totally took it in his stride,
talking with the crowd all the while. I'm sure i read an interview with
him recently where he commented on how he liked punishing a machine,
pushing it to the max, and the fact that you could crash it.
good stuff!
new music: Dwayne Sodaberk - The partying without inhibition or dignity
EP. The album is really fscking good, crunchy twisted beats, distorted
guitars, pounding basslines, almost bordering on no wave kinda style.
Tennis - Furlines. Totally sublime, dubbed out slow languid headspace
tracks with an excellent second CD of Tennis remixes.
The Redeemer - Hardcore owes us money.
Has anyone else heard this? Its by DJ Scud and Panacea. I can't figure out
if it's a pisstake, tongue-in-cheek, serious or what. Its full of a
million old rave samples, from Bump -'i'm rushing', d*shake, happy
mondays, anasthesia, and is just straight up hardcore basically. I got
booed for playing it in the office, but i have been enjoying listening to
it on headphones, even just to sample spot.
aii-ght, now me fingers are tired.
signing off,
thor
