Finally…

Finally the IYv LP and the Teahouse Radio 2LP are ready… it took me quite some time… the pressing plant did deliver in time (!) but the finalising of the records was a thingy…

People familiar with the Vrystaete releases know that there is a lot of manual work involved from my side… that is why I am not a big fan of releasing two records in this series at the same time… but well… pressing plant situations leave me no choice basically… but this time it involved also a double LP… as the Teahouse Radio asked for a 2LP release…

Anyway… I am still finishing some last records with applying stamps but most is done so I can start preparing packages and shipping these out… and I am very grateful to all people who pre-ordered these… quite a lot of you did so… meaning the next challenge is trying to ship your records out as soon as possible… and also to the (web)shops as these two albums will also be available through all usual suspects as ever… so thanks to all for your support!

The next two records are at the pressing plant since some weeks… no Vrystaete this time but Gooiland Elektro stuff by the likes of RADKO (finally a full release) and a split 12″ by Roberto Auser and Melting Dogmas (a duo featuring 4Cantons)… I have some other plans and ideas which I will start working on as soon as I have shipped the IYv and Teahouse Radio records out to all of you and to all shops…

So I hope you can enjoy these sounds soon!

Winter is coming…

 

Despite all the things going on in this world I will continue with my label work… maybe even it is more important than ever… I believe that listening to free-spirited music will make your brain more open to free thinking and different perspectives… something lacking in this world in my opinion… Having a rich scope of different perspectives is the most valuable thing we could have in this world… and a way to secure our individual freedom and our respect towards each other…

The Journey of Taro and Circle Bros records have been shipped… the Taro even sold out already here at ET HQ… thanks for your support and trust! Both records are still available from selected (web)shops worldwide…

Test pressings for the next two Vrystaete records by Teahouse Radio (lo-fi ambient) and IYv (ambient/drone/folklore) have been approved by yours truly… but pressings plants are taking longer and longer to get their job done… and every time it also become more expensive… I hope vinyl records will remain something which is possible to publish by independent labels like mine in the future… time will tell…

Anyway… the Teahouse Radio and IYv records are expected to be ready somewhere around February 2022… so towards the end of winter… I will update the website with information and sounds on the upcoming records in some time… and I will post the progress on the printing of the artwork on instagram

Dig yourselves in for the winter and I hope to see you on the other side!

Roberto Auser for Phormix

Recently Roberto Auser was invited to do a mix / podcast for Phormix from Athens… before him I myself and Enfant Terrible related artists Ian Martin, Monocorpse and TWINS already did mixes for this great platform for dark/obscure electronic sounds for the dance floor and beyond…

Included in the mix by Roberto Auser are tracks from upcoming releases he has planned on various labels… it also includes two tracks he and I are working on for a new project who are doing together…

You can listen to the podcast below…

Dark ambient

Even though winter is over and spring is here I am still a bit in a dark ambient mood… this weekend is the Phobos Festival in Germany with Raison d’être vs Troum headlining the night… looking forward to that one!

To get (in) the mood you can find my mix I did for Radio Resistencia for the January episode below… it is all about ambient and dark ambient… happy dreams!

The latest dj set/mixtape I did for Radio Resistencia (October 2016 episode) is on mixcloud now for on demand playback/streaming… this mix is quite a long one… almost 1,5 hours… all ambient stuff… dark ambient sounds, drones, post-industrial music and pieces influenced by ritual music and occultism… featured are amongst other Nacht, Nature Morte, His Divince Grace, Raison d’être, Morthound, Apoptose, Herbst9 and more… much more…
