Revolution Void

I'm excited to announce the forthcoming release of the Cheshire Records website. I am hard at work getting the site coded (and learning Ruby on Rails in the process) and it should be online by the end of May, 2009. In the meantime, I put together this spiffy (albeit a bit oversized) splash page here: www.cheshiremusic.net


Cheshire Records is a label I founded this Spring of 2009 as a way to release some of the music projects I've been involved in, as well as the music of my friends and colleagues. So far, the artist roster includes almost exclusively projects I'm involved in, but this will change as the label develops.


Upcoming Cheshire Records releases lined up for 2009 include ...

• Multiple new UltraCat singles in the works, including the long-overdue Orbiting the Earth (with remixes + B-sides) and sugar-coated vocoder track Talking To My Mind. Additionally, you can expect to hear some UltraCat remixes of other artists in the near future.


• Another instalment of the DJ mix series Back To Roots done under the UltraCat moniker. This second volume will focus on rarities and underground classics. The first Back To Roots mix (available here) had a lot of mainstream dancefloor classics and anthems. This time around, the focus will be on more of the underground tracks and rarities:  eclectic B-sides, that sort of thing.


• Minimal dubby techno project, as yet to be named. Not much in the way of details for now but I am putting together a release of some chill dubby techno tracks along the lines of Fenin. I have maybe 7 or 8 tracks that I am feeling pretty solid about.


• Downtempo mix series by DJ Grande, aka Alex Grande. Alex is the band DJ for Seattle-based Ska funk band Leisure Sound and has been ripping it up around town with his unique blend of dub, downtempo and minimal techno.


• New Revolution Void material. The new tracks have a pretty raw, Medeski Martin and Wood type vibe to them. I have been getting into recording with vintage ribbon mics, tube preamps and so on. A lot of the material will be run out through tube amps and then recorded back to the computer to give it some grit. This release needs a while to gestate so I'd anticipate a Fall or Winter 2009 release.

As you can see, there are quite a few planned releases in the coming months.  You can subscribe to the Cheshire Records mailing list to keep informed when the site launches, and when new releases are posted online.
