solipsistic NATION No. 280: Experimedia
Today on solipsistic NATION we’ll listen to select tracks from Experimedia, a record label, shop, and distributor based out of Ohio and established in 2000. I’ve known about Experimedia for quite some time and it’s kind of surprising that our paths haven’t crossed already. Experimedia consistently puts out quality releases, so much so that when I hear about... Read More
solipsistic NATION No. 276: ABAGA Records
Today’s label showcase features, by popular demand, ABAGA Records! A few months back I asked friends of the show on Twitter which labels you thought I should feature on solipsistic NATION and ABAGA Records came up again and again. You demanded it, I listened! When I launched solipsistic NATION I was uncompromising in my vision for the show. I wanted to feature the best of... Read More
solipsistic NATION No. 271: Futuresequence
Today on solipsistic NATION we’re going to listen to select tracks from Futuresequence and talk with the labels founder, Michael Waring. Futuresequence is based out of the UK and began as a blog but has slowly been mutating into a music label that explores the possibilities and boundaries of textures, patterns and sounds and, hopefully, pushes past those boundaries. I’ve... Read More
solipsistic NATION No. 267: Feedback Loop Label
Back in the day, if I heard and album I dug and wanted to find out what music label had released it I simply had to look at the CD or cassette or even an album cover. These days, despite the amazing advances in technology, it’s not so easy. If I’m walking down the streets of San Diego, as I often do, listening to music on my iPhone and hear a track that I like I can... Read More
solipsistic NATION No. 265: Artoffact Records
Artoffact Records is a Canadian label based in Toronto that has released over 100 industrial, synthpop, rock, and metal albums since the label was founded in 1999. I listen to a lot of music but when it’s a release from Artoffact, I take notice because it’s bound to be great. Some of my personal faves have been Alice in Videoland, Massiv in Mensch, and, more recently,... Read More
solipsistic NATION No. 263: unMaker
I’m quite certain that the cold I’m suffering from is not, in fact, a cold. It’s something far more sinister and deadly. I’m convinced that I’ve contracted some alien contagion aloft some weird vector that will begin the zombie apocalypse beginning with me: patient zero! Okay, it’s not that bad. I just wanted to add a bit of drama to today’s... Read More
solipsistic NATION No. 262: Immigrant Breast Nest
Today on solipsistic NATION we’re going to select tracks from Immigrant Breast Nest, a wonderful netlabel that was founded to present NYC’s best in weird, mostly electronic, underground music. Bit of background on today’s show. Dan Abatemarco and fellow musician and partner in crime, David B. Applegate, are the agent provocateurs of Immigrant Brest Nest and they join... Read More
solipsistic NATION No. 260: Electroton
On today’s show we’re listening to select tracks from Electroton. We’ll also talk with the label’s founder, Martin Weiss. I’ve only recently discovered Electroton and I’ve loved everything I’ve heard from Martin’s label. Electroton is one of those labels that tends to favor music that seamlessly blends noise with minimalistic beats.... Read More
solipsistic NATION No. 251: Ember Music
One of the things that thrills me most about the label showcase on solipsistic NATION is that it gives me the opportunity to discover even more new music with a mix that is is lovingly handpicked by the labels founders. In today’s case that would be Kurt Lorenz and Bill Bendrot of Ember Music. Ember Music is an artist-run label and I think that’s the other reason I’m... Read More
solipsistic NATION No. 247: Katabatik Records
Today’s mind bendingly fantastic show is all thanks to you! Well, not you specifically, obviously, but those of you on Twitter and Facebook who suggested that I feature Katabatik Records on the next label showcase. I’ve been doing this show long enough to know that people like you who listen to this show have good taste in music so when you said give Katabatik Records... Read More
