The idea was simple enough: ask a bunch of our artists to supply some samples and sounds, collate these into a sample pack, then give said sample pack back to the artists so they could create tracks for a compilation.
The result is a fascinating exhibition of different approaches to remix-craft, and (putting all music-geekisms aside), it´s simply an album of great tracks created using the same palette of sounds. We´re going a step further and encouraging people to create their own tracks with the Lego samples so that we can release them on a future Dead Channel compilation. To this end, we´ve uploaded the full sample pack, as it was distributed to the artists on this album. Send completed tracks in .WAV format (preferably using something like yousendit.com) to: dead-channel (at) live.co.uk
Enjoy listening. Enjoy creating.

CHANNEL021 Various Artists – The Lego Project
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008CHANNEL001 Sofaboy – Sofaboy!
Saturday, May 24th, 2008We couldn’t be happier about the fact that this is the labels inaugural release.
Thirteen tracks of pure joy from Dave Blakemore’s Sofaboy project, from bouncy summertime techno to orbital-esque electronica and back (via some beautiful soundscape excursions).
It’s all laced with a charm befitting one of the nicest people you’d ever want to meet, and we hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we did putting it together.
