We decided to launch a cassette sublabel for experimental/analogue/modular/ambient type music. This is our first release on that, coming out on Oct. 25. There will be 50 cassettes that have been professionally dubbed and 5 that I recorded at home on Type IV metal tape with hand-stamped sleeves. We haven't pushed this to Bandcamp just yet but I wanted to let you all know in advance. There are some samples on SoundCloud:

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Here's a bit of blurb about it:

We take a slowdive into the fuzzy analogue loops of new French musician Akim Drml for a cassette-only release rich in ambient arpeggios pulsing from modular synths.

Across 8 tracks (and one inspired electro reinterpretation from Gated regular Sound Synthesis), Drml offers up addictive loops and atmospheric textures, mostly beatless but always emotion-rich, obsessive and cathartic in equal measure.

All tracks were recorded in a single take without overdubs, leaving room for pleasant surprises and imperfections. Drml's influences range from Rival Console and Alessandro Cortini to Suzanne Ciani and Caterina Barbieri, but Analog Resolution carves out its own space, nostalgic and melancholic but forward-moving, always forward.

thanks, yeah I agree he did a great job considering there were no stems because Akim records everything live.

I said the other day to someone that we decided to release quite an esoteric album on an even more esoteric medium (cassette - especially metal cassettes, which most people can't play). What were we thinking??

In case it's not clear, of course I'm joking - I love Akim's album, but I do think it's not for everyone, which is fine.
