Attention experimental electronic musicians! Here is your chance to
network with other artists and industry-types, chat about gear and
software, and share your CDR demos with the other attendees. Save a copy
for us and we might feature it on a future Modsquare Netlabel release.
Join us at Sonotheque for a night of electronic-musician networking set
to an IDM-ish soundtrack featuring laptop sets from Miles Tilmann &
Justin McGrath, and DJ sets from m50 & Liz Revision.
Musicians, bring at least 10 copies of your demo on CDR (with your 3
best tracks) to share with the people you'll meet and you'll get in
free. We've got links to cheap CDRs, labels, & cases, and free CD
sticker and business card templates on our website (www.modsquare.com)
to make sure people know how to get in touch with you. You can use your
own design or scribble with a Sharpie, too--just make sure your contact
info is on the CD.

The Modsquare Netlabel will be launched with two albums, the first
initially released last year, Ctrl-F2, and the second to be released
February 8, Ctrl-Space. The netlabel serves as a platform to increase
exposure for innovative, emerging abstract electronic artists, and
each release features MP3s made freely available with an open-source,
Creative Commons license and mirrored at Archive.org.
John Reveles of Igloo Magazine writes regarding the first release, "From
the stuttering Aphex [Twin]-style electro breaks of Atropa's 'Yaser' to
the graceful glitch of Praveen Sharma's 'Elephant Feet,' Ctrl-F2
consistently manages to one-up itself in its style and diversity."
Ctrl-Space follows in its footsteps and promises to one-up its
predecessor.
Live laptop sets from two Chicago-natives will be featured during the
evening. Miles Tilmann, who has contributed a track to Ctrl-F2, has
recorded for such labels as Consumers Research, Semisexual, and
Toytronic. His latest EP has been described as "uplifting melodies,
rhythms, chords, and beats inter-spliced with ambient interludes" by
Staticbeats, and his tour last year with Merck recording artists Mr.
Projectile and Adam Johnson garnered him a slew of new fans. Justin
McGrath, with a track on Ctrl-Space, fuses deep, symphonic atmospheres
and melodic exploration with crunchy, skittery beat patterns to create
an equally emotional and heady experience. DJs M50 (of WNUR,
illmeasures, Meiotic and subVariant) provides sonic interludes and
finishes the evening while Liz Revision (aka Quantazelle, of subVariant,
and editor-in-chief of Modsquare) opens for the live artists by
including tracks from the two releases in her set.
Ctrl-F2 artists: Atropa, Equulei, M.Mercer, Kero, Miles Tilmann,
Quantazelle, R.Garcia, Flashbulb, Atomly, Mochipet, Dave Olson, and
Praveen Sharma. Ctrl-Space artists: Justin McGrath, DoF, Max Spransy,
Proswell, Set In Sand, Wisp, DCJ, Yard, Daenra, Loves Not Dead, The Deep
Element, and Phylum Sinter.
