New IF? RECORDS techno releases, Sept. 2008 + other stuff

Andrez · September 15, 2008

Man, it's already been a prolific few weeks with our label IF?, often in collaboration with Elektrax and Hypnotic Room in Sydney.

So, thought I'd drop a bit of a collective propaganda bomb here to fill you in on the (mostly) Australian releases we've been handling, all if 'em available online as digital downloads - and some of 'em even FREE!!

Plus some other labels and artists' stuff...

FIRST UP: (and rather self-indulgently)

Little Nobody

"Game Over: Reset 140"

(IF? Records)

I put out the Game Over in March, and it was a slow, eclectic, at times dubby/electro reconsideration of beats and breaks, asymmetrical electronic rhythms and squelching, near-acid synths. Sydney's 3D World magazine called it "Head-bending stuff that's well worth investigating."

Anyway, not too long ago (over a vast amount of drinks), one of my mates over here in Tokyo, Yusuke Abe, challenged me to reboot that EP - at 140bpm, with a more up-for-it (albeit open-minded!) techno/house club in mind. Yusuke had a vested interest, as he wanted to DJ a couple of the tracks out, but thus Reset 140 was born.

The outcome is obviously faster-paced, now more tech than dub, and it's available from today through our label IF? as an exclusive digital download-only release online, via Addictech here:

Oh, and as always there is one hack videoclip up on YouTube here:
