Thanks also to DJ Nobu for featuring “Vaporware” on his recent Crustal Movement Volume 01: Dream into Dream mix; I haven’t had a chance to check it yet, but the tracklist is completely bonkers.

Oh, and…

…while I was thanking people for things that happened recently, I almost forgot to mention that Luke Younger (aka Helm) featured “Rain in Coffee” in his edition of the Blowing Up the Workshop mix series. By the way, for anyone who hasn’t checked it yet, Helm’s Impossible Symmetry is brilliant stuff.

2013’rz

So, yeah, it’s been a bit quiet on this front, but there’s lots in the works as usual, about which more later. Things that have happened while I’ve been away include an interview for the Quietus, another interview for Resident Advisor, some year end picks and related nods for Pears and Vaporware (thanks to Jason Anderson/DRAFT Records, Geeta Dayal for Frieze, Rory Gibb for the Quietus, Rabih Beaini for Ruptured, Boomkat, Further Records for Boomkat, Lawrence English for Collapse Board, Philip Sherburne for Spin, Brandon Bussolini for Dusted and LWE, and Sam Davies and Adam Harper for the Wire, among others), and me hitting hibernation mode cleaning my attic very slowly and making lissajous figures all day. For what it’s worth, I didn’t make a list because I could hardly figure out where to start; I simply can’t remember another year in which I heard as many brilliant new records as I did in 2012. Thanks everyone who made them, and thanks especially to John Elliott, Peter Rehberg, and Lawrence English for helping me make my own!
But anyway, I digress; the first major announcement of 2013 is that I’m now working with Ollie Seaman at Elastic Artists for bookings in the UK, Europe, Australia, and Asia. For those of you keeping score at home, that means that it’ll be much easier to get me to come to wherever you are this year; hope to see you there!

Preorder/Predeparture

Those test pressings above? I’m thrilled to inform you that they sound fantastic, thanks to the hard work of Rashad at D&M and everyone at Pallas Group. This means that we’re off to the races, so to speak: When We Were Eating Unripe Pears is now available for preorder from Editions Mego!
Speaking of being off, I’m off to Latvia and Poland in a few days; hope to see you at Skaņu Mežs and Unsound!

New Arrivals

“And what, through a profoundly deep fog of jet lag should appear…?” Street date very shortly, so keep an eye on Room40, Boomkat, and the usual suspects. (Don’t email me, because I don’t sell direct.)
Anyway, I’m back from Japan as of late last night. Thanks so much to Mindgames, all the artists and staff, and everyone else who was a part of Labyrinth for bringing me to the greatest party in the universe and making me feel like part of the family! To say that the depth of my appreciation doesn’t fit neatly into words would be a ridiculous understatement.
