some things to think about: 1) the unreleased trade is an elitist business. if you don't have something cool to offer, don't expect generousity. you will probably have more luck using audiogalaxy! 2) for most people that AREN'T djs or heavily into the business the music just has to be GOOD - whether the music is NEW or OLD... it only has to be good not so many people will know what is released and unreleased... hell, if you want to suprise people with something interesting that they may not have heard then just dig deep and find an old classic that suits the style you want... 3) mp3s on a big system sound like @!#$.

new chi a.d. has a great sound to it! i still think the infinity project made productions that last and sound fresh even today...

i asked them a little while ago and they said "sometime soon - but would you buy the CD now?" so maybe funds from the CD sales are being used to press the vinyl... i really hope this comes out on vinyl as well!

Atrophy is a solid piece of work.

good luck, but the style should be done!

sweet jebus i can't believe i forgot for a second but..... JUNO REACTOR definatly the show of the year [century?]...

wizzy noise [not live, great show though] logic bomb [not live either, poor showing due to unfortunate circumstances] banco de gaia [wasnt impressed] chi a.d. [poor system/acoustics at this show and bad time slot made this not so fun] hrm. haven't had the best of luck this year

i still dont understand the qube sound... half of the EPs i've picked up and listened to have had recycled house loops and slow grooves (120bpm) with very little going on... what am i supposed to see in this music?

i want to know what the BLACK CAT remix of boundless sounds like....

lex rex perplex by hux flux has a sample "there's no question about that" i think... related, just so you know.

one is probably the blue planet corp. remix

good song, isnt it? i hope it doesnt get played out...

Maskalin - Way Of Life Artist: Maskalin Title: Way Of Life Label: Balloonia Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. Freakish 02. Music 03. Ride On 04. Turtle House Review: Freakish opens with subtle reversed kicks and sliding samples, slowly grooving into predictable territory. With only a minute and a half left to go of this housey number a beautiful melody enters and plays around for a while, but this is one track that suffers from "too little too late" - not to mention a bad choice of samples. Nothing special, but a great warm groove. 'Musik' is slowly building, much more subtlety and low-end bass with little melodic tricks. A voice drops in to remind you what the name of the song is - that's always very helpful so you don't have to check the tracklist [nyuk]. Breaky, progressive, throbbing in intensity with thick rolls of hairy bass, this is a monster tune that still doesn't excite me so much. Ride On is lush with bass bubbles and squelching effects - a much more promising intro here. Doesn't go too far though... suffers less than the other tunes though! Turtle House closes off this four-tracker and again, it is a good loop plus some tasteless samples and doesn't live up to its full potential. The repeating "droids" sample really gets irritating when it is used over and over without being dynamic or 'smart'. On the whole, the EP has a good modern sound which will surely capture the listener's ear for a second... but it also is hurt by the failings of the modern vibe to have much more than a superficial impact on the listener's ear. I'd want 'Freakish' sans samples with that great melody kicking off a minute and a half INTO the track, not 1m30s before it ends. There should ideally be no period in music where the listener is just waiting around for the artist to get to the point... but that's what I found happening here. Got bored, waited for the good part... ah well, it goes without saying that the two artists here have made much better work in the past but regardless of what I think of the music I hope people enjoy it since it was a nice attempt at capturing something halcyon.

if its anything like aspirin then... booo

i should also mention that they supply great add-ins like magazines, flyers, and promo material... and they are the best and most professional packagers out there i would say! everything is always safe and in perfect condition when it arrives.

i'm not even much into it! i mean, sure, use BPMs if you like... i mostly found that one comment irritating (the implication that DJs are LAZY if they DONT use bpms is ridiculous!)

will you ever get that knowledge if you always rely on them? thats what i'd want to know. personally i don't have to consult a list. i think in my head, i visualize, i get a sense for what's next... and it just flows. when you spend time with your record collection you'll probably realize what is quick and what is slow... maybe it'll take you longer but won't you end up more skilled?

haha i'm from canada toronto actually - which is further east from you and thus further away the package they sent went out last friday and arrived yesterday. that's basically 3 days [not counting the weekend] and they've ALWAYS been this quick... maybe they read this forum and like to antagonize you?
