Fortcoming Plastician Digital Label
Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2009 1:54 am
Yo!!!
After all the trials and tribulations involved in putting out vinyl these days, I've come to find myself sat on a huge back log of productions I never found time to release or to put into the Terrorhythm release schedule. I don't want to give them away to another label unless I feel the label can actually do something I cannot do on Terrorhythm.
With vinyl production becoming increasingly difficult due to lack of pressing plants, I've decided the best thing to do with these tracks is to release them digitally, in full quality audio files including Wav, Aiff and 320 MP3.
I've had enough of waiting on barcoders, pressing plants, couriers, art designers and everything else involved in putting out records.
So i'm starting a little label which will release 2 tracks per month, on the 21st day of every month - as 21 is a lucky number to me and I've not had a great deal of luck releasing music over the past 5 years.
The digital label will be called 21st Data
The first release will be dropping on SEPTEMBER 21st......
Track 1: Missing

Track 2: Pushkin

Some of you may remember a 2 minute clip of Missing from my Myspace page a long way back, it has been a much sought after track so I've decided to kick off the releases with that as the lead track. Pushkin was featured on my Rinse:06 mix CD.
In the coming months I'm planning on gradually releasing all of these unreleased gems I've been sat on over the months and in some cases YEARS!
October 21st release is going to consist of
Track 1: The Clouds
Track 2: Delovely
I've not got any plans to release any of these on vinyl just yet as I really can't be bothered with the hassle of dealing with 101 people to do one job, and I don't trust any pressing plants with their in-house mastering. I remember the days of handing lacquers and a cd of the artwork to a bloke in east london, wait 1 week for test pressings and a further week for your full press. Unfortunately this is not the case.
In the next few days I will link you to the site / sites that the label will be available on.
Any suggestions as to which tracks you might like to see released on the label will be greatly appreciated. For the time being I will only be releasing my own material on the label.
