plenty coming up
just a quick interim missive to let you know about some of the stuff that has happened and is about to happen. first up, a word about gigs:
kone-r is going to be busy in august, with two resident dates at ginglik on the 9th and the 23rd, keep an eye on their website for more lineup info - it's now got a 3am license so even more bang for your buck!! additionally you can also catch the ua head honcho dropping techno science on the turntables for the peoplesmusicstore launch party as part of nitefreq on friday the 8th - playing from 4.30 til 6am at jacks near london bridge, this event also features such legends as 808 state, arthur baker, i-f and dmx krew so not to be missed! apparently jacks has had a total refurb and is now state of the art, so make sure you get down to this. finally and not least of all, uncharted have hooked up with our good friends at rednetic to start off a new electronica showcase called microclimate - this one is a thursday evening, the 21st of august with thoroughly civilised hours, taking place on a boat on the thames and costing only 3 quid - head over to the myspace for all the details.
the first instalment of microclimate doubles as a release launch party for our next shiny vinyl - uncharted audio presents the dub plate sessions vol. 2 (five years after the release of volume 1 - sorry for the delay). this one sees cyan 341 who some of you will already be familiar with from the signals 7" series dropping some serious mechanised tech, backed with a deep and lush remix from lj kruzer. you want this! 10" vinyl and download coming soon - watch this space. whilst we're on the subject of new releases, octavcat's album "hard as snails" is currently being mastered and will be next to drop, on nice blue vinyl and download, followed by line's much anticipated debut lp, which is in the final stages of mixdown. and bloody fantastic they all are! we've got loads more in the pipeline as well - busy days ahead!
so what have we been up to apart from organising all this good stuff? well, we've recently extended our digital reach - you can know find most of the back catalogue available for download at juno - including a couple of configurations not previously available on download, notably unch003 in it's entirety. we'll also have catalogue available on peoplesmusicstore when it launches next month, an exciting new download service/online community, be sure to check it out. additionally, we've put up a muxtape and started twittering - feel free to investigate, share, add and all the rest of it.
plenty more updates ahead... stay tuned!
