Swishcotheque returns with Idiron's first release since 2008's Manifest Sounds. A space opera of futuristic acid, electro and bass featuring remixes by Shinra, Oxynucid, Poborsk, Lushman + cubus.

"Turbo Kisu has roots in me getting further into my analogue synths, including 6 hour session on a mate's 303, and it sort of spiralled from there. There is a narrative, which is mainly about malevolent trans-dimensional cats, but also alien love, and faulty robots."

The EP is available to download for free here - http://www.swishco.co.uk/release.php?id=105

Almost three years in the making 'and then the world fell further down' is the latest album by cubus. Marking a slightly darker and more mature approach to sound design the album fuses field recordings, found sounds and downbeat ambience. Mixing acoustic and electronic instrumentation 'and then the world fell further down' contains over an hour of brand new material with a nod towards the works of musicians like Angelo Badalamenti, Carsten Nicolai and The Future Sound of London. Each track has been carefully mixed to create a complete narrative over the course of the hour, opening with the distressing sounds on the city streets and closing with a broken boiler !

Ready for download by the end of today (hopefully !)

au is a 20 minute piece which brings to mind William Basinski's Disintegration Loop series and Machinefabriek's longer drone pieces such as Allengskens and Flotter. Like DJ Olive's recent 'trilogy' on the Room40 label, au can be enjoyed as a quiet background environment but is just as well suited to loud headphone listening where the cinematic detail can be appreciated. The track has been mastered by the ever-so talented Christopher Leary (of Ochre fame).

The track can be streamed for free, or purchased as a FLAC here - cubus shop

A new compilation featuring various electronic artists has just been released. An Electronic Tribute To Antarctica features over 100 minutes of specially commissioned music inspired by the Earth's southernmost continent. Featuring a range of genres from ambient to dubstep and everything else inbetween.

The album can be downloaded here as mp3 (Click to download) or as FLAC (Click to download) and will soon be available to purchase on CD (details to follow).

A rather belated New Year message, hope 2009 was grand and that 2010 is a flipping great year to remember. Expect in the next few months some remixes, exclusive new tracks, compilation appearances and after what seems an age - a brand spanking new album too. We now just need some warmer weather :)
