KVCU Radio 1190 AM was voted the Best Non-Commercial Radio Station in Colorado many times over. This is because it is simply the only local station with any variety and edge. We are honored to be a part of this local music compilation.
Prepare your ears and mind for the debut transmission from Nobot Media. “For Human Ears Only.” A collection of sounds and ideas ranging from the deep glitch hop of Equulei and the Draconians (Djore Records) to the organic guitar vs. beats essence of Multicast, Neighbors, CacheFlowe, George & Caplin, and Clocks Ticking Backward. Also trasmitting on this release aree new sounds from the avant, Ghostly International’s newest signing, Twine, and Ohm Resistance label owner Submerged bringing the sub-bass analog crunch.
This compilation caps off the year in which Trace Reddell curated the visualsoundings series of live electronic audio performances for MCA|D. The disc covers four seasons of audio/visual events thematically networked into the museum’s exhibits, including a tribute to Pop Art (sonicPOP) and an examination of architectural decay in new urban environments (music for ruins). The compilation showcases a diverse range of sonic material, from glitchy micro-textures and ambient techno to electrofunk, britpop, and choral ensemble work. All tracks were newly produced for this disc, including an exclusive live recording from Crix Madine’s performance at the museum.
The Rebuilt-project: musicians from 33 countries remixed the tracks of American Breakbeat. In comparison, American Breakbeat Rebuilt is much more pop, but Klangkrieg would not be Klangkrieg, if we have not recruited musical border crossers for such a mammoth project… at the end listeners will experience a kind of ‘re-hearing’ with many old acquaintances and some surprising new discoveries. Already when we have worked on American Breakbeat, we could not find anything ‘typically American’. Referring to Rebuilt, it´s very obvious, that finally no stereotype grasps anymore. Electronic music thus proves to be an international code escaping all categories. But — really — who of us needs categories? Although American Breakbeat – Rebuilt is kind of conceptional, it first of all promises an unique pleasure for your ears. The two CDs remain floating, while the connection is made between clicks & cuts via really nice electric pop to break core and noisy drones.” Remixes by: ES, Borko, Leafcutter John, Ultra Milkmaids, Pastacas, Xploding Plastix, Donnacha Costello, Random Logic, Andreas Tilliander, Belgradeyard Sound System, Ambidextrous, Sonic Dragolgo, Slepcy, Miraq, Chris Wood, Ford Proco, Desertstorm Breakcore Squad, Goem, Rosy Parlane, Fibla, Pimmon, Intricate, Kubik, Epy, Somatic Responses, Com.a, Noize Creator, Panacea, Andrea Benedetti, Mambotur, Ruzina Frankulin, Ammo, Insumsion, Vultures.
