Two things! First, we’re thrilled that 2010 honors keep rolling in for DI and related projects. The latest crop includes EOY nodz from Akteon regarding DI31, Visitation Rites on DI32, Greg Davis (via Root Strata) on DI33, and WFMU’s My Castle of Quiet on DI29. MCOQ also reps Bee Mask’s Canzoni dal Laboratorio del...

(photo courtesy of Witchbeam) Thanks to Sounds from the Rust Belt for including DI33 in their year-end best-of! In other batch-related news, DI32′s getting love from The Fader, Pitchfork, Dead Formats (dead? really?? why’d you check it, then? -ed.), and Earmilk. Thanks everyone for your support! We considered getting our own year-end list together...

…the site’s looking pretty screwy. A rogue WordPress update scotched the old theme and this is some stopgap shit. While we’re at the keyz, we might as well take this opportunity to welcome Aguirre Records to the distro fold. Anyone on the continent looking to grip DI33 and/or DI34 (to say nothing of a...

So, I’m back from Cleveland as of late last night, with a stack of recs, a brain full of train grease, big plans for DI circa 2011, and an insatiable yearning for Choy Wong in tow, which means that mailorder is back on as of today. Actually, what the fuck does that have to...

Not a huge amount to report at present, other than that the gears have begun turning in a non-timeframe-specific sort of way toward the next batch of DI editions and we couldn’t be more excited so far. On a more topical note, it also bears mentioning that, due to the usual holiday travel, no...

Like it says above, this would be as good a time as any to note that DI32 (Mark McGuire “Misunderstandings” c30) is sold out at source (i.e. no longer available from me). Thanks to everyone who gripped, and for those of you who are still looking for a copy, I’d suggest your contacting Mark...

So, about that missed invitational to which I alluded a couple posts back. Last month, at the behest of Thomas Patteson’s* Experimental Culture, I delivered a short talk and a curated listening session as part of a presentation of the restored four-channel mix of Morton Subotnick’s Touch at the University of Pennsylvania. Since there’s...

So, I’ve been up to the eyez in cables and patchbays for the last week or so reorganizing the Tranquility Base studio and in the interest of fall cleaning, have decided to offer the following pieces for sale. Everything’s in great working condition and I’ve tried to provide some information on provenance and applications...

First of all, thanks to everyone for kind words/support with regards to DI 31-34! As of this writing, we’re down to the single digits on all four of these, so there’s still a gripping window, albeit a small one. Distros for these editions include Mimaroglu, Eclipse, Second Layer, Volcanic Tongue, Tomentosa, 905, and Leary...

Once again, it’s been too long, and I’m taking a break from working on fresh jawnz, catching up on Electronotes, winterizing the olde Tranquility Base, and eating a bonkers amount of vegetables to get the following overdue drops, from known DI quantities and dark horses alike, on the streets! Check: DI31: J Guy Laughlin...
