"Split 12-inch, Minus Vinyl #3"

IFO63

It's somehow appropriate that this latest in the 'Split 12-inch, Minus Vinyl' series starts with a new track by current Melbourne electronic music enfant terrible, Pat Stormont, and it finishes on a track recorded in 1995 by Zen Paradox - that same much-lauded electronic music city's undoubted techno/electro elder statesman, and a man still amazingly relevant 14 years later.

Which is exactly how old IF? Records itself is this year; the baby that was also kick-started - again in Melbourne, Australia - in 1995, is now an unwieldy teenager living it up in Tokyo, Japan.

Yet in spite of alcoholic and substance abuse, wear and tear, and the tyranny of distance, the label has never forgotten some dodgy roots in its city of birth, and the amazing depth of talent (and experimentation) exemplified by these two debonair gents with their aural cutlasses and a perfectly attuned, matching musical philosophy.
