It Is Now Also Not EP - Out Now

I just finished uploading "It Is Now Also Not" EP to Bandcamp. Many people have been asking for this EP to be released because it features the epic "It Is Not Now Either" supported by Ellen Allien and James Zabiela amongst others.

This EP concludes the old releases that I will be uploading, next up it's going to be brand new material. And later, my album. Stay tuned. Now listen to this:

Pöly EP digitally remastered and digitally released

Pöly EP is now out in bandcamp. Remastered and ready for listening and cheap download.

The nice thing with bandcamp compared to beatport for example is that the royalty% going to the artist is 75% in bandcamp when for me it's 5-10% in beatport, which is something like 0,122 euros or less per song. So in conclusion downloading from bandcamp supports the artist and dowloading from beatport supports shit. Happy listening!

New cover for Mänty EP
Today I decided to start releasing music in digital format. No matter how much I love vinyls, I've always been very dissatisfied with record labels and their performance, contracts and lack of vision. So I did some research and ended up choosing bandcamp about which I initially heard from Blamstrain. After choosing the way to go I went and remastered my first EP, Mänty, which was released on trapezltd back in 2005 and put it up there and set up a special, cheap price for it too.

Now I'm thinking about putting the next EP, Pöly, up there as well. However, I don't know if they limit the amount of songs I can upload, I hope not, because I think the freedom that comes with being able to choose what I can release on my own will boost my interest in working with music. I've already made plans for future releases, and I will release my album this way in the near future.
So here's my bandcamp page!
