Sometimes a concert is impressive. And sometimes I write about stuff. And sometimes these two go together really well. This time I was invited by Kicking The Habit to write about a concert I visited yesterday: Ryuichi Sakamoto + Alva Noto in the Catharina church in Eindhoven. I did so this morning. You can read it here (in Dutch).

Whoop! There it is. NEW 6.0. Get it here. Or here.
N.E.W. (Nieuwe Electronische Waar) is a platform for producers of electronic music from the East of The Netherlands. N.E.W. is a collaboration betweenproductiehuis ON, Burgerweeshuis and Doornroosje.
After a year of producing, uploading and voting, a professional jury (including me) selected 11 tracks to be featured on the NEW 6.0 release. After being invited by the N.E.W. platform, esc.rec. stepped in as a free download distribution partner for this release in a support-your-local-scene kinda way.
The NEW 6.0 release won’t be part of the official esc.rec. catalogue, but is distributed by esc.rec. as a N.E.W. product. This is mainly because esc.rec. hasn’t got complete control over the content and aesthetics of a N.E.W. release, which just so happens to be the only benchmark for esc.rec. releases.
Now that I’ve tasted some of this N.E.W. collaboration, I can’t help but feeling somewhat discontent (weird isn’t it?). Not because of the tracks mind you! There are some real perls here. But I’m sure going to try to up my game a bit to see how esc.rec. can contribute more productively in shaping up for the upcoming NEW 7.0 release. My appetite for improvement has now been whet… be ready for it.

In this cold December month two small independent labels from the East of The Netherlands flirt with eachother. The result is a free download compilation named Flakes, officially released today, December 18.
Please download from www.escrec.com and/or www.lomechanik.com.
Esc.rec. and Lomechanik have a considerable overlap in their musical preference and besides a couple of artists in their catalogue they also share a mutual interest and vision on current music industry. Their main concern is bringing adventurous music the attention it deserves. If anything, Flakes proves these labels to be open minded music connoisseurs with a joint interest in narrative music.
With many thanks to the artists who contributed to this release, Lomechanik and esc.rec. proudly present this Christmas present to everyone who wants to listen. Enjoy!
