Hey campers,
Its time for the semi regular update and listing of events.
Before we get started, I'd like to thank everyone who came out to our
recent events, Funkstorung was nothing short of amazing and playing at
the Ghostly night was a blast as expected, do pick up their latest
releases, the idol tryouts comp, lusine 12" and kill memory crash 12"
releases are gems.
On with items:
[1] Press:
The Record Camp Label has been getting some really great press of late,
check out The Wire this month (Yo la tengo on the cover) for an
excellent review of both of our releases in the Critical beats section.
Modsquare has a nice review

In Addition to that our other project, Activaire, has genereated a nice
buzz lately, There was a nice article in wired.com this past week
(
http://www.wired.com/news/mac/0,2125,59270,00.html). In case you
haven't seen it, there was also a great intro to what we're about in
Metropolis magazine a few months back (see:
http://www.metropolismag.com/html/content_0303/ob/ob09_0303.html)
There's also a bunch of free downloads supporting the article, can't
beat that.

for themselves by making lush electronica and you should come out and
check it out. We've also got some great openning acts, Ogurusu Norihide

[3] Website:
Damn we're too busy, updates are coming, will hands appreciated :-)
Theres a box of promos that need reviewing ;-)
[4] Label:
There's some really great news on the label front but I can't really
tell you about that yet. I will say that the one and only Freeform has
delivered his remix for our upcoming remix 12" of Celine's "In the sun"
single and it's f'ing incredible!!! The Thought Universe EP should be in
stores sometime within the next few months and it's both gorgeous and
dirty electro, if you're in the manchester area, you've got to go catch
a thought universe show, it's a wonderful and sweaty experience.
[5.] While we have your attention:
There's a great overview of our buddy Michael Place's work over at
computer love (
http://www.computerlove.net/build/) you can take a good
long look at some of those recamp sleeves while you're there.
Our pals in Manchester Ghetto Blast have some noce shows coming up (see:
http://www.ghettoblast.co.uk). Req and Kid Acne up in their pieces!
Hmm, theres much more but I should get back to work :-)
Thanks for reading, see you out or on.
Celebrate the bold button.
