NEW RELEASE ON FALK RECORDINGS - BENEATH THE REMIXES (August 8)
A bit slow putting this one up on the site, but better late than never.
Our first album, Beneath the Grain was released earlier this year and from the date we put it out we had talked about putting together a collection of remixes to follow it. We got in touch with some artist that interested us and compiled four fantastic remixes of tracks taken from the full length.
Falk Recordings was gracious enough to release the EP (for free). The EP features Chord, Sinusstoev, Lokua and Nadia Popoff delivering remixes ranging from tech-house, through techno and dub-techno, finally resting with some atmospheric broken beats.

NEW OVERCAST SOUND TRACK ON LEVITATION EP COMPILATION (July 27)
Canadian label Dewtone Recordings - a relative newcomer to the deep techno / ambient scene - has pulled together a varied and compelling EP featuring artists Stef_, Syene, Fingers in the Noise (who recently remixed a track for our Holding Pattern Remixes), Alveol plus a brand new deep dub inspired track - Wake - from us.
You can purchase the EP directly from Dewtone Recordings at their Bandcamp page, or via Juno.co.uk (more digital stores coming).
THE RESISTANCE OF AGUILAR: TAPES PART 1 AVAILABLE (July 13)
The compilation The Resistance of Aguilar: Tapes Part 1 is available from Entropy Records. The album was intially put together as support for the festival in the south of France scheduled to take place in September 2011. The festival has since been cancelled due to issue with local authorties, but the compilation is released as a tribute.
Our contribution to the compliation is the track Gabriola - bringing a touch of the west coast of Canada to France.
The compilation is FREE from Entropy Records - download your copy.
REVIEW OF BENEATH THE GRAIN (June 5)
A great review of our album Beneath the Grain from Headphone Commute, calling it "...a welcome entry intro the arena of the masters such as DeepChord, Quantec, Thomas Fehlmann and Monolake."
LATEST EFFORTS (May 26)
We're putting the finishing touches on a lot of projects. In the pipeline we have 2 EPs, a remix, a track for a compilation and putting together an EP of remixes of Beneath the Grain tracks. Most of the projects should see the light of days over the summer (perhaps the fall).
