Save the date ! July 14th 2015 is the first edition of the Netlabel Day. On this date, more than 80 digital labels answered the call launched from Chile to make a massive release of tens of EPs and LPs on the same place : http://netlabelday.blogspot.fr
We will participate with a special compilation featuring 14th artists, regulars from our place mostly, and an exclusive dubclash between OICHO (aka David Harrow) and On-u sound tape archivist Dr Dub.
/ / / ABOUT THIS RELEASE / / / ::: ENGLISH ::: "Just delving... drowning down the deep dub. We encountered a cave, a large underground lake, where we sailed endlessly. Then Echo guided our conscience through the ascent, and a friend rescued us next to the sea."
::: FRANCAIS ::: "Il suffit de plonger... se noyer dans le dub plus profond. On découvrit une grotte, un grand lac souterrain, où nous naviguâmes sans fin. Puis Echo guida notre conscience vers l'ascension, et un ami nous sauva aux abords de la mer."

/ / / ARTIST BIO / / / ::: ENGLISH ::: Mildtape is a variable speed dub unit, spacing from analog to digital domain in sound – and back again. Their roots are located at the Dubomatic Mix Room, while their branches grow into the international dubcloud. A special taste for vintage as well as for sci-fi, hi-fi, lo-fi – places mildtape at the crossroad between many musical paths and influences, mainly bass driven.
::: FRANCAIS ::: Mildtape est une machine a dub, aleatoire comme un magneto a bande, oscillant entre l'analogique et le numérique. Ses racines se trouvent au Dubomatic Mix Room, et ses branches se déploient dans "l'international dubcloud". Un gout tout aussi prononce pour le vintage que la science fiction, le lo-fi, la hi-fi, place mildtape au croisement de nombreux chemins musicaux, mais ils restent toujours guides par la basse.
All tunes have their story, and this one started 2 years ago, when
iraqui producer Eqube met Mr Noon. A first version was born, followed
this year by three remixes from Doobie Sound (Sweden), Steinregen
(Germany) and Volfoniq (France). Three very different relectures that
open new chapters…
During
his sonic explorations, Caballo accidentaly opened a transmusical
portal from where Cumbia bass, voodoo Kizomba and post-nuclear pow wow
gave birth to a 7 tracks ufo labeled "Digital nomad". The name could'nt
be more suitable...

/ / / ABOUT THIS RELEASE / / /
::: ENGLISH ::: The EP is called HeartworK and it is exactly that. This is an important record for me because it is the first time I've release a body of work which was written, recorded and produced at one time. I expect the EP will give people a clear picture of where I currently am as an artist. Before writing these five songs in a 6-8 week period in late 2014, I hadn't written a song for over a year. My current positive and structured environment and lifestyle allowed me to be inspired upon hearing ATIRA's beats. The music allowed me write freely in a way that is more literal and meaningful than a lot of of my early work. I hope people will enjoy it, identify with it and be inspired/motivated by it. I also hope to get more offers for performances and collaborations as a result of the new EP. Big thanks to LCL for releasing my debut solo record: HeartworK EP 2014.
::: FRANCAIS ::: Ce maxi s'appelle "HeartworK" et c'est exactement ce dont il s'agit. C'est un enregistrement très important pour moi car c'est la première fois que je sors un ensemble de titres écrits, enregistrés et produits ensemble. J'espère que ce 5 titres donnera à l'auditeur une idée précise d'ou j'en suis en tan qu'artiste. Avant d'écrire ces 5 titires fon 2014, je n'avais rien écrit depuis un an. L'inspiraion m'est venue en écoutant le travail de ATIRA (beatmaker). Ses beats m'ont permis d'avoir un écriture plus libre et spontanée que ce que j'avais pu faire jusque là. J'espère que vous les apprécierez, que vous pourrez vous y identifier et qu'ils vous inspirerons ! J'en attends aussi de nouvelles connexions que ce soit pour des perfomances ou des collaborations, donc n'hésitez pas à entrer en contact avec moi via LibreCommeLair ! Un grand merci à LCL pour avoir sorti mon premier maxi : "Heartwork" (2014)
::: ENGLISH ::: I recorded my first track, Boom Bang Bang in early 2010. When I found mildtape’s music on SoundCloud back in November 2010 I felt a connection and decided contact him. The internet allowed us to communicate through email and listen to each other’s music. Our collaboration led to the Free as Air EP release on LCL in 2011 which features my lead vocals. This gave me a big boost to continue as a vocalist. One of the remixes on that release was by LATA who I have now met twice and become good friends with; we have performed together in London and Vilnius. My latest release is a five track solo EP. All the backing tracks are from the producer ATIRA from Houston, Texas USA. I discovered him as the producer of the music for Versace Python by US rapper RiFF RAFF. My 2014 EP is called HeartworK and it is exactly that. When I heard ATIRA's music it allowed me to write very freely to deliver a piece of work that truly represents me as a person and an artist. I hope people will enjoy it, identify with it and be inspired/motivated by it. I also hope to get more live bookings and collaborations as a result of the new EP. Big thanks to LCL for releasing my debut solo record: HeartworK EP 2014. Feel free to get in touch with me via the Ebsa Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ebsquardoe Watch me perform all the songs on the HeartworK EP in my hometown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99vSKF3axVo&feature=youtu.be
::: FRANCAIS ::: J'ai enregistre mon premier titre , "Boom Bang Bang" debut 2010. Lorsque j'ai decouvert la musique de "mildtape" sur SoundCloud a la meme epoque, j'ai tout de suite senti une connection et je l'ai contacte. Internet nous a permis de faire connaissance et de partager nos travaux respectifs. Cette collaboration a debouchee sur le maxi "Free as Air" sorti sur LCL en 2011 . Cette experience m'a grandement motivee pour continuer le chant.. Un des remixes de ce maxi a ete produit par "Lata", que j'ai maintenant rencontre a deux reprise et avec qui je suis devenu ami; nous nous sommes produits sur scene ensemble a Londres et a Vilnius. Mon dernier maxi, sorti en 2014, est un 5 titres. Tous les instrumentaux sont produits par ATIRA (Houston, Texas USA).

/ / / ABOUT THIS RELEASE / / /
::: ENGLISH ::: This is not just an album, it is an appeal, even more - screaming, yelling to myself - rational, logical, modern, from that underworld, archaic, unconscious ... It raises the deepest questions and uncomfortable topics. Hybris is manifested in the form of pride, hypertrophied self-esteem, soaking in the various spheres of life. This is the inner voice that calls out to you in the night, this is your inheritance on a nonphysical level... Fight it, subordinate it or be absorbed by it!
::: FRANCAIS ::: Ceci n'est pas seulement un album, c'est un appel rationnel, logique et modern hurle depuis ce monde archaïque et inconscient... Il souleve des sujets profonds et derangeants. L'hybris se manifeste sous la forme d'une fierte, un ego surdimensionne, qui impregne toutes les spheres de la vie. C'est la petite voix qui vous pousse dehors la nuit, c'est votre héritage psychique... Combattez-le, dominez-le ou soyez absorbe par lui !

03 - World Today (Pope version)
04 - World Today (La Crema version, Herbata Vocal rework)
/ / / / / ABOUT THE EP / / / / /
It is a pleasure to welcome Herbata,incorporating the members of the former band Volatil who already released several bombs on the label. We meet back dub and electronic elements from Volatil, led by the atypical voice of Federico, and undoubtedly enriched with Pope instrumentals and Tamen drums. A unique and authentic dub blend straight from the crucible of the ever-fizzing Barcelona !!!
/ / / ABOUT THIS RELEASE / / /
"Retro 8-BIT game sounds touched with 70's Dub FX are having my special attention and you can hear that throughout my latest creations. For the tunes 8 Bits of dub and Anything Dub, I was inspired by the audiotool.com community because of the wonderful in browser music app and the friendly people."

Here is a gem from our personal archives !
This mixtape wa released early 2009 in collaboration with swiss collective RadioDadio (http://www.radiodadio.ch)
Processed by Volfoniq, it features several tracks from LCL (some are
unreleased even nowadays) along with a selection from other favourite
netlabels (Jahtari, A quite bump, Science of the trinity, Bangladesh...)
The whole dish is boosted with dub twists, psychedelic talkings and
roaring basses on the mixing deck. 1 hour and 20 minutes of density...
Volfoniq Album "Ernest" is undergoing a worldwide remix process !
The artist chosed 10 of his closest musical collaborators to rework several tracks from his album : Buguinha Dub (Brazil), Alberto Caballero (Canada); LATA (Chile), Mildtape Dub (Italy), Jambassa (Italy), Tony Dubshot (Natherlands), Ras Amerlock (USA), Arrogalla (Sardinia), DU3normal (Hungary) and Lowknee (Greece) The tunes are currently out for mastering, and should be released next month.
Stay tuned ! Meanwhile, while not get back on the original album while waitin for the remixes ?
