Thank You Southern!

I have been working for the amazing Southern Records for the last 18 months, designing, preparing music for digital distribution and generally maintaining new release info, news pages and back catalogue.

Southern have announced that they will be ending the distribution side of their business to concentrate on just running the (small but prefectly formed) Southern record label. It's been an amazing privilege to work there and I wish Allison and all the team all the best for the future!

ghOst tracks featured in Otaku magazine

ghOst produced a couple of 6-minute tracks for Otaku magazine's 'Kaidan' issue. These are entitled 'jitenshi-kaze' (bicycle/wind) and 'amatsu-kaidan' (celestial ghost).

Otaku magazine is really beautifully presented and researched, and follows a different theme for each issue, in this case 'kaidan', japanese traditional ghost stories. Otaku manages a great balance between genre history, artist contributions and manga comic book content (not to mention the awesome cover cd). I recommend getting hold of a copy quick!

Koe 'Stem the Tide' release

Koe's debut album 'Stem the Tide' will be released on Sacred Cow Recordings, my own imprint.

Freshly mastered by Phil Doak and packaged with lovingly produced artwork (with illustrations by Kazumi Hirota), the album can be preordered for £5.

Matej, our drummer, had to return to Slovenia so the band is on extended hiatus. I am working on various new projects. Interested drummers please get in touch!
