> Sheesh! 1999, what a year for electronic music! It was nice to
> see the rise of smaller labels doing their own thing. We're looking
> forward to making 2000 a great year as well!

> The Headshell EP is back from the plant! Promos have been sent
> out and the records should soon be available both in stores and
> online! Check out our site in the coming week or two for RealAdio
> and ordering info...here is the promo piece we sent along with
> the record:
>
> "Debuting on the töshöklabs label is London based producer Mark
> Hadley and we are proud to make his Headshell project our first
> release of the year. Under the Headshell moniker Mark combines
> a hazy build of downtempo breaks with 909 programming that together
> glide along smoothly, offering an un-nerving yet Zen-like meditative
> quality. Minimalist in construction ala Photek, Headshells drum
> programming becomes the foundation for brewing and whistling
> atmospherics and heavily portamento'ed melodies that have a
> slightly anxious edge. This combination of sparse, occasionally
> frenzied rhythms and nervous yet playful chord progressions makes
> for a lucid listen not unlike something you would get by crossing
> older Black Dog with Mick Harris slower recordings. Töshöklabs
> is glad to have Mark on our roster!"
>
> If you would like to hear more Headshell recordings and have the
> ability to download mp3 files, point your browser to:
>
> http://www.mp3.com/headshell/
>
> The pricing for the EP will be $7.99 US including S/H.
>
>*****
>
> Due to circumstances beyond our control with getting the Headshell
> EP out, all of our slated releases have been pushed back a bit.
> But not to worry! TLCD004 'State of the Art Heirloom' will be our
> second release of the year. We sent out *very* rough mixes of the
> comp to a few people, and we have changed a couple of things since
> then. Here is the tracklisting:
>
> Antarktika - Close to the sea
> ocone - fourteen heavens in all
> Don Rainwater - untitled
> Achene - 100plus
> Antarktika - A safe place
> Don Rainwater- untitled
> Headshell - Meme
> Antarktika - Arion parts 1 and 2
> Recognizer - untitled
> Achene - hum
> Taylor - Sad Grin
>
>*****
>
> We also have a couple more releases planned for the year: a remix
> project in conjunction with NYC based 52mm (http://www.52mm.com),
> as well as a full length release by Caural, a new töshöklabs artist.
> Stay tuned for more info!
