Simial - Personal Music 0.75

OK so we started a label to release this guy Simial. He had one track on Colorsquad that we thought had been overlooked (School Boy Acid on the B-side of this release) and we wanted to release his stuff on vinyl. So here we are.

Clips:

Apologies for the self-promotion. It's been quite a process getting to where we are, and it's not over yet.

Nice

Simial's also selling a tooth on bandcamp.

Yeah, I doubt he'll sell it, hehe.

Cryptobiosis is a great album though. About half of it was released on cassette by Casa Voyager earlier this year.

This has now been released, here are a few pics of the hand-stamped vinyl for you:

We've arranged a bonus track for anyone that buys the full EP too...

A little background info:

Following a groundbreaking cassette-only release on electro label de jour Casa Voyager, Montreal-based producer Simial releases his first full vinyl EP on Gated.

This is raw braindance unlike anything else from an exciting new talent you’ll be hearing more from.

Over six tracks, Simial takes us into unexplored and highly personal territory, with music that drops and kicks, stutters and starts in unexpected and melodic ways.

Watch out for the little surprise vocal hidden in B3…

Produced by Simial in Montreal and Casablanca.

Mastered by Keith Tenniswood.

I think Neil played one of these tracks on our Emotion Wave show in Jan. it was my favourite on the show, so I’ll have to try and grab this on vinyl.

I knew we'd sent him the EP but not that he'd played it, that's wicked. Here's the show for anyone interested:

He played 'Unknown Territory' from the EP.

Alasdair from New Seeds played 'Nice to CU' from the B-side on his show as well:

Yeah it was a stand-out track, we all commented on how it was a solid pick!

There is a bonus track, we're just waiting for Simial to send the final version to us. For anyone that's already ordered, I will email you a link to download the bonus track separately.

Link doesn't work :(

^ worked for me

Thanks Simial & gated for the track, it's makes for a nice digestif.

worked this time. Cute track

yeah you have to click on the "listen on soundcloud.com" link, I disabled embedding for this one.

wow i never realised that was where it was from.

By the way, I believe Simial is working on his debut album but I think he intends to self-release it. At least, that's what he told us.
