hi all,

having been more or less lurking for a good
while, thought i should pop up to mention
the 'Net record label' I run, and which features
a fair amount of idm-related releases. we've
previously featured releases by Bogdan
Raczynski (nowadays on Rephlex) and
we've also produced the soundtrack to a
Playstation computer game, "Tank Racer",
that's just been released in Europe.

Basically, there's two labels running out of
our website at http://www.mono211.com ,
although both are interconnected. All releases
are playable with Winamp, by the way, even
the non-mp3 ones, and everything's freely
downloadable..

mono211 (http://www.mono211.com/mono211.html)
is a breakbeat label, putting out mp3s and
mods mainly in the breakbeat/triphop/jungle
style. there are several excursions towards the
sorta squarepusher end of idm, though - i
particularly recommend the Vim! mp3s and
mods. We're also going to be putting out an mp3
from a Japanese collective called Wiggle who
have an album featuring Cristian Vogel and Ken
Ishii out in a month or two.. I'll try to post to
the list when it's up there.

monotonik (http://www.mono211.com/monotonik)
is the idm sublabel, and puts out a bunch of
sorta nice idm stuff. I'd recommend the mp3 by
glacial Alaskan artist Jiva (sorta BoC-ish, if i'm
making lazy comparisons), and the tracks by
Distance on mp3 and mod (cute sine-wave-ish
ambient idm stuff) and Serkul on mod and (soon)
mp3 (Australian kinda Black Dog-esque techno).

ok, please try to link to us, download our stuff,
join our mailinglists, and so on.. we've had a bit
of publicity (recently in the German magazine
"De-Bug" and a while back in "DJ" magazine)
but it'd be nice to get a little more noticed, I
guess.. of course, that's only if we're actually
worth it, heh. comments on the tunes welcome..

regards,

ps - also try to check http://www.mono211.com/drfetid
for a seriously weird idm/CRAZYmusic review page
with all the tunes available for download - anything from
Japanese noisecore through cut-up Danish folk songs
to oldskool crack-intro tunes. "Dr.Fetid's Wizards
Of The Sonic" is the name.. approach with caution :)
