"After having traveled North and South, CATERVA continues its quest for the 4 cardinal points with I.O.T Records through a third EP, this time exploring the western magnetism of bass music : "CATERVA GOES WEST" …nnFor this title track, they team up with BLAKE WORREL (Puppetmastaz) to recall that influences do come from every directions, and step away from their usual dubstep and kuduro productions to venture into 98 BPM west coast glitch hop regions, without losing freshness in the wobbles and leads that have become the Strasbourg duo's trademark.nnTURNSTEAK are just about the perfect match to remix this new expedition, and transform the original tune into a future hip hop combo tinted with 8bits sounds, cutting voices and reorganizing samples to their liking with baffling ease. Available in vinyl and digital …"

Since 2004, I.O.T. Records Production cie has run the project Expedisound, building bridges between different cultures of our continuously changing planet. The music is the unifying link of many different journeys. Through a sound experience, the Expedisound project aims to increase awareness of the extraordinary cultural diversity of our times and to aim the public’s attention toward some fragile ethnic groups living just beyond the frontier of rapid globalization. Each journey aims to create artistic links, to transform cultural differences into human richness, and to stress out people common wishes. Furthermore, the human dimension of the intense experience of immersion in another culture nourishes the exchanges and creates a real change in us. The sound and visual documents we brought back time and again are the tangible testimony of these experiences.  nThe Expedisound project has been initiated by techno travelers, or so-called electronic music nomads. Through this project, they wished to keep alive the spirit of this techno travel movement based on curiosity and intercultural exchanges. nthe third installment of the series to Expedisound destination trays for pre-himalayiens in Yunnan Province. After crossing Europe, Russia and china from north to south, the team settled nearly 6 months in the heart of Naxi territory.nAfter the exploration of Africa and the great Mongolia outdoors it is now the province of Yunnan in China to welcome this new journey. This third volume opens up new prospects for the original idea, stretching a little further elastic "space-time" to another place where nomadism rhymes with humility. China Expedisound is nothing less than that, a crossing of cultures and well thought insane, the alchemical fusion between a successful journey based on experiences, exploration of the unknown and its sublimation in sound experimentationnnMany Musicians have been involved in the project.nnSTEVE NALEPA / WELDER / KILOWATTS & DAN COVAN / DJUNYA / SHEN / PUSHY! / BABYLON JOKE / ATOMIK DOG /AROK / LOAN / OTISTO23 / MIDI LINK / FEUDJAY / GOLDENBERG & SCHMUYLE / CYBERSKUM / SUSHISOOSHAMP / MANNDIBULL /BOB RIDER / KAMI / BEEGOOD / TWEDNESDAY / THE NAXI TRADITIONAL ORCHESTRA

I.O.T records presents a new serie of EPs entitled "The 333 series" !
Unconventional and far from any cleavage, the series reintroduces the concept of EP within the label.
One output every 45 days for a total of 8 releases per year, based on a two tracks digital format and featuring an ultra limited vinyl edition (125 numbered copies in silkscreened cover and an artwork signed by Hep & Heng of Drops).
A craft approach that puts forward as much the quality of the object as a tribute to a fundamental and imperishable medium.

For this first installment, we call upon Uzul,  a notorious French dub artist, that gratifies us with two tracks halfway between the Lyon school embedded by Kali Live Dub and High Tone in France, and the early UK dubstep.
Colors unfolds a rocker rhythmic backed by heavy skanks, the perfect accompaniment for a wobble bass served on a plateau and sprinkled with perfectly mastered reverb & FX. A track that is both rich and airy, as comfortable on a dance floor as in your living room.
With Fiiyawork we move up a gear, and Uzul hires the talents of MC Ben Sharpa for an effective and unadorned collaboration. The jerky flow of the South African leads to a darker and loud production designed for crossovers hungry dubsteppers.

Floating sounds that flow and evaporate Like drops covering a sweating body, carried away by the movement, that fall on the asphalt, the dancer becomes as suspended, floating on air. Initiated by Loan, a stubborn eclectic electronic music producer, Drop Circles is an original and percussive artistic creation, which mixes music and break dance, arising from the landscape of urban culture.nRhythmic gears with amazing sounds,either powerful, sizzling, soft or sometimes even troubling that wriggle through this liquid material like a guiding thread: the pages of a diary blow away and come undone in the body of the dancer.nBreak dance adapts itself to heavy rhythms and throws into electronic atmospheres, appropriate for dubstep, touched by dub comas and breakbeat phrasesnnSee the video clips available on the internet site. And share the free tracks that Loan offert to you. Enjoy !

A crazy break beat, just enough dubstep influenced... and a journey to the mid tempo ... octaves up and down according to his desires ... passing thru a discreet homage to the king of pop . Producing since last year, seems we have to keep an ear on this artist...you will take back a little mint water ? [Mentalo in french]

THE FREEKING EP

FREEKING

MAN TALL

Circus of Mind is the psychedelic music project of Brian Kelch, who resides in the San Francisco Bay Area; a scholar of philosophy, mathematics, and the mind; and an explorer of the frontiers of awareness.

Inspired by the ineffable spaces between thought and beyond conception, the music of Circus of Mind is an aural technology to both map and generate veiled contours of the mind. Shifting sonic architecture frames the intangible nuances of the weird, as intricately sculpted sound design conjures glimpses of novel realms of reality not confinable to words.  Circus of Mind is a unique labyrinthine journey through a morphing pallet of patterned energy, which frees time to dilate and inner space to expand its dimensionality, potentially revealing the essence of our assumed being to be the standing wave of reality itself. 

“Circus of Minds brings the listener into a geometrical sound labyrinth, where integers dance with sinusoidal waves, where notes and octaves merge with cells and atoms. Blurring the lines into music therapy, this electronic shaman skillfully applies his knowledge of the impact of sound on the human spirit. Circus of Mind brings the listener into his world, simply listen and feel…”
