CHANNEL025 Noisepsalm & Asymptote – Split EP

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

Following the release last year of Noisepsalm’s ‘The Injured Aerm Army’ comes this split EP with fellow American Asymptote.

An original track from each artist is re-interpreted here by a plethora of remix artists. First up is Asymptote’s ‘How it Went’ with remixes from Noisepsalm and Micoland. Next up is Noisepsalm with a track taken from his highly regarded Dead Channel release ‘The Injured Aerm Army’; ‘Hybernation Sickness’ sees Asymptote, Micoland, Kubex, Wobble & Dubb, Rhedcerulean and Little Nobody on remix duties.

The package is nicely rounded off with a live re-working of Hybernation Sickness from Noispsalm himself.

CHANNEL023 Micoland & Holly Bretton – Traverse

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

A man who needs no introduction to regular followers of Dead Channel, Micoland returns to the label accompanied by the sublime, sultry tones of his sister Holly Bretton.

Waves of deeper than deep beats intermingle with creeping melodies to create a perfect soundscape for Holly’s haunting vocals. Fans of Portishead, Lamb and Massive Attack should definitely check this album out, although Traverse manages to achieve a personal sound that defies direct comparison.

An album that reveals it’s many layers with repeated listening, and could serve as the perfect soundtrack to your post-club sessions and deep-chilled moments, Traverse proved an instant winner with everyone here, we hope you enjoy it too.

CHANNEL003 Micoland – Dawn Raid Symphony Remixes

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

The track ‘Dawn Raid Symphony’ is taken from Mic Schofield’s awe-inspiring debut album ‘My Cold Land’, out now on Dirtyload Records.

Instead of putting out the original album track, we have re-interpretations here from Gwylo, Blackhat, Ant Orange and Micoland himself. All take the original in distinctly different directions, while retaining the dense, claustrophobic, dystopian quality that makes Micoland’s work so distinctive. ‘My Cold Land’ is available to buy from gonzo.me.uk
