I'm working on releasing ariel funck soon, hold your horses. Based on seeing how people release mediocre albums for $5. I'm thinking of charging people $3 for an around 40min track. Fair?

My mate Randolph is a fucking assassin and is charging me 40 grand to kill you. It's a bit expensive as I'd rather like to spend some money traveling across Canada, I'd also like to visit Bolivia and Chile and gaze into the lifeless eyes of the stone Moai on Easter Island. So I'm thinking of starting a kickstarter to raise the extra cash. Fair?

Well kickstarter is really just a promotional sites where people can buy tiers of products. Caustic Window worked out because it was by the famous Richard and was an old album that went unreleased. If Joyrex released the album on bandcamp and charged people money that way, it'd still sell. Most of the shit you see on kickstarter gets you shit by you spending more money. if you get like autographed printed CDs or pay more for Vinyl, pay a few thousand then you spend a day hanging out with the artist, etc. If you can print vinyls and shit then yeah kickstarter is a good idea. Indie games are the best for kickstarter.

on a side note for me releasing music. I don't like to charging people for mediocre music, and my music standards are very high. I'm pretty much doing charity considering all the shitty music people pay money for. Plus, my current composition skills are still lacking. A lot of my shit are pretty arbitrary, and sometimes even if it doesn't sound perfect, I'm like ah fuck it.

I'm with ya

Hey actually, serious question, Mr. James, for reals:

Are you going to keep the Analord and Tuss downloads (Rephlex site) offline forever? This is like THE TIME that I'm guessing there's lots of renewed interest in buying, as people like me want to catch up on the few releases we didn't have yet. I will always pay for an artist's work when they make it POSSIBLE.

Oh great Joyrex, can you actually find this out with all your connections? Serious yo.

While waiting to go syrobonkers is the perfect time to be catching up on old stuff!

Might be a stupid question, but is there any evidence that James actually reads this (or any other AT forum)?

Rephlex isn't over, I'd say they're shapeshifting. I don't have high hopes the site will come back. It was an experiment, it didn't work out for them for whatever reason (I really liked it and thought it had great potential), but if there's one thing I've learned over the years is that it isn't a goal for Rephlex to cash in.

Anyway, they're manifesting themselves through different channels, putting emphasis on the artist instead of the label. The Rephlex bods release mainly through direct mailorder or bandcamp now. Keep an eye on the EDM / Aleksi Perala / Monolith / EOD / etc. threads is the best way to keep up with it all I guess!

Rephlex is most definitely a very eccentric label. I like it that way.
