  • New: Bit-Phalanx vs. Bitcrusher - 'Bit x Bit' split compilation

    When one electronic music netlabel called Bitcrusher, and another called Bit-Phalanx find themselves both operating in London, it's perhaps inevitable that their paths would eventually cross.

    After our silent disco at one of Bit-Phalanx's events we've gone a step further with this split-release compilation. Featuring 6 artists from each label it's an excellent opportunity to check out some new artists and get some more from the ones you know...

  • New: Sonic Deadhorse - Everyone Can Beat a Deadhorse

    Sonic Deadhorse's glitchy release covers a few styles, united in their glitch and perhaps some playful disdain.

    We're releasing this along with some other labels too: Otherman Records, Sociopath Recordings and Vaatican Records, so do check out what they're up to.

  • New: Petr Passive - Kein Lust

    In what is certainly one of our best releases so far, Petr Passive (aka Autonon) excels with his heavily 8bit and vocoder oriented tunes.

    Built on harsh, energetic beats, Petr moves effortlessly between electro, techno, breakbeat, chiptune and pop. The tracks are well crafted, catchy and nasty, this one's been at the top our playlists for a while!

  • New: Grave Glitcher - Motion

    Grave Glitcher likes sine waves and cats... so this release has loads of sine bass and catchy, playful melodies. It's got a definite 8bit feel but with lots of rich, liquid synths. There's some 303-tastic acid in there too.

  • New: Iacchus release at Timewave

    Iacchus has a new release over at Timewave records, in their words:

    'Together as One' is the second album from London based psychill producer Iacchus. Building on the warm production and world influence that characterised his first album, Iacchus puts a new spin on psychedelic music in this emotionally charged and unique creation. Dance with the mystery.
