Yet another post about two things follows. The first of those things is that a chunk of Bee Mask’s Canzoni dal Laboratorio del Silenzio Cosmico is stitched into Autre Ne Veut’s recent mix for Altered Zones! The second is that DI31 is now sold out at source, albeit still available from distros. Thanks everyone...

(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...

Since there’s...

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...

“101 Cassette Labels” is an online exhibition dedicated to the visual culture of contemporary tape labels, curated by Ceci Moss for Rhizome. Lots of friends and personal favorites are featured, so I’m thrilled by the inclusion of di23-26 and the Bee Mask/Sam Goldberg split on Catholic Tapes.

Per Steve Cornford: “This is the first material I’ve heard from Bee Mask, who seems to have broken out of local obscurity in recent months thanks to a fairly frantic release schedule including his vinyl debut on Weird Forest which I am yet to hear. He apparently uses homemade photosensitive circuits, controlled by moving...
