PORTLAND Live
Thanks to Spencer Lytle (aka Portland) who performed live this week. Portland’s set was packed with asymmetric electro beauty, crunchy melodies and a sincerely punctuated vibe from start to end. Portland’s debut long-player entitled Distal is out now on Oakland, California’s n5MD imprint as a Mini-Disc. Congratulations to the two lucky winners of Distal.

nkh (Toshoklabs) Live
Special thanks to Nate Harrison (Toshoklabs) who performed live under his nkh moniker. Nate’s set was packed with crumbling ambience, rusty electro, and downbeat funk all tied to erratic yet fluid percussion. Nate has a track on the new Crash Redevelopment compilation on Co.Ad Audio (a “scheme hatched” by Datach’i and Unit in Brooklyn, NY). Congratulations to the winners of this CD! Nate also contributed to the Brooklyn Keeps on Takin’ It compilation out on Record Camp.
