Hope that this message finds you well.
Over here things go very well, never had I received so many letters or e-mails from
folks expressing satisfaction and thanking us for releasing good records. As you all
know I appreciate, so, once again thanx to you all who got in touch. Personal
messages are always welcome.
Same thing applies to demo, so many comes on a daily basis that it is tough to listen
them all and reply in due time. I try my best, always listen and reply so please be
patient as 50 CDs a week is a lot for only 2 ears. A great mention must go to the
following demos by Fonica, Finomehanika, John Nowak, Suspicion Breeds Confidence,
Gume, Ent, Stern/Guerra whose work promises to deserve a proper release sooner or
later
Fall looks/sounds good as our three new records have just been delivered :
Angel (Ilpo Vaisanen + Schneider TM) : s/t [bleep 16]
Angel is the collaborative project of Dirk Dresselhaus (commonly known as Schneider
TM, releasing on City Slang/Mute) and Ilpo Väisänen (1/2 of Pan Sonic, signed to
Blast First/Mute). Freeform-soul music, made with Ilpos selfmade analog-sythesizer
(typewriter), cd-player and the most fucked up electric guitar Schneider could find.
They improvise live and create a real poundin' mixture of old industrial, minimal,
or noisy wall of sound.
Tonne : soundtoys < 2 x 12 [v.1] > [bleep 17]
Music by Scanner, Hakan Lidbo, Si-cut.db, Tonne
Paul Farrington had developped The original Soundtoys software as a research work at
the Royal College of Art in London. He wanted to make his own software with
applications in a design environment. The project is designed to allow musicians to
diversify their working methods in using the Soundtoy software to generate new work.
The audio side has two tracks by each artist created using the software, each very
different in manner and explication.
The CD contains the original Soundtoys software and sounds that were used in the
creation of the tracks, so you have access to all original sounds that were used by
the artists.
Scanner + Tonne : sound polaroids [bleep 18]
Images and sound were recorded in London and this data was then processed using
software that converts the pixels of an image into sound, giving the user the ability
to paint with sound and compose with light. Such a graphical approach suggested the
use of digital images taken across the city as photographic sounds, or 'sound
polaroids.' Using a database of the original source material Scanner & Tonne then
actively took the show on the road and created live performances following a similar
system. Experience their view of London, Milano, Tokyo, Montreal and New-York
On October 18th and 19th we celebrated 2 years of BiP_Hop live events.
Friday 18, at Recyclart in Brussels, a venue that has a lot of character. From 10 pm
to 5 am, we had Twine + Si-cut.db + Tennis + Wang Inc playing and ip@bip-hop.com
Djing. Went well and the least I can do is to recommend Recyclart.
On the 19th our 32nd night took place in a chapel of the medieval castle of Tarascon,
close to Avignon. Incredible to play such a beautiful historical monument, our most
classy night so far. Live played Twine + Wang Inc. And ip@bip-hop.com and Bertrand
from the local music store Stupeur et Trompettes Djed. Videoprojections were
provided by the talented VJ from Obtik and Phase 4/Twine. Celebration was decent and
music on until 7 am

In December well celebrate the anniversary of the label itself, 2 years of issuing
music. Well deliver BiP_Hop Generation v.6 and the new Tennis. Symbolically it means
a lot, as the label started with the BiP_Hop Generation series, so two years will
mark the end of the first cycle of it. In 2003 the series will start again in a new
design
Back to symbolic, Tennis europe on horseback was the first album to see the
light of day on the label, so it feels good to deliver a follow-up two years later.
Friendship and story goes on
Paul Farrington, whose music work is under the moniker Tonne, has a book published.
Looks very very interesting
