Technologic Records
The last few years has seen a very healthy number of shows going on in Malta. The various Maltese promoters have snapped up and booked everyone from Neil Landstrumm to the Miditonal gang to the Jerome Hill and 3d!t sort. Now I see that they have been laying low for a reason.
The Technologic crew are starting their own record label. This is good news, good news indeed.
Just yesterday I was lamenting the state of the New Release situation right now. If you weren;t aware there's a situation I'm telling you now there is. There is not nearly enough new, good music being released (but really when is there ever 'enough'!). This will be partially remedied by a new label run by a crew of guys (and gals...?) who really do like their heavy wonk core mash.
I believe, because of an earlier conversation with one of them, that it'll follow the various artists EP model which seems to be all the rage right now. While some may not like that (let's hear your reasons why you sad-sacks) I quite enjoy it. There's too much filler and fodder out there already so the various artist EP usually means that there is a good assortment of good tracks. The various EP kinda reminds me of the old acid house records with an original cut and 2-3 remixes in different styles from different artists. It's a good model to follow and it should be done more often in other genres.
For previews of the first EP you can visit the Technologic Records Myspace. there are two tracks up so far:
Queaver & Versis "Too Many Fish"
Esther Ofei "Woop"
with 2-3 more to follow to guess from my early information.
