More on the free thing

Thought I’d add some additional notes…I seem to have worried Looptron this morning that I’d be giving a CE remix he’s doing away too, thus depriving him of his future pension! And though I know he was being a bit tongue in cheek, there is an important consideration there…so here are yet more words for [...]

New Strategy Thinking…free music from Cassette Electrik

Lucy & I have been thinking about how we write music, release it, gig it, and how we go about getting our stuff ‘out there’, you know, all that normal band jazz.
And it ocurred to us that we’re just doing the standard industry process of working towards an EP or album, withholding all the music [...]

Gig Review: Harmonia

Harmonia @ Queen Elizabeth Hall
Fri 18th April
In complete contrast to the other gig I went to this week, here were a crowd raring to go, but who were let down by the band not delivering the goods. On Monday Scroobius Pip played us phat beats and rocking tunes, but the crowd weren’t quite ready to [...]

Gig Review: Scroobius Pip

Scroobius Pip vs Dan Le Sac @ Koko, Camden
Monday 14th April 2008
Scroobius Pip is held dear in the heart of Cassette Electrik. Lucy first alerted me to the genius of Thou Shalt Always Kill when she heard it on 6Music. I then checked it out, and yes, we agreed: the finest song of 2007.
We even [...]

Not sure yet…

I have always been a little prone to navel gazing, but you know, it’s sometimes necessary. Feel your pain, as the psychiatrists would say.

Lazy TV composers!

Far be in from me to rant about stuff, but can I just make a little plea to the world’s TV and film composers to please stop using ‘Bowed Oil Can’ from the 1998 Spectrasonics Distorted Reality sample CD?
I know it’s a lovely sound and everything, but really, there are other sounds that can conjure [...]

Client Support Announcement..

Sunday 9th November
Yeah, it’s a little way off, but we’re delighted to announce a support slot with Client in November!
Headlining is Anne Clarke, someone who’s work I’m not overly familiar with, but who was important in early punk days, and continues to work in alternative art & music scenes. If anyone can recommend some good [...]

CE_EP Progress Report: Sex, drugs, and 303’s.

Ok, so we’ve decided to split the next EP into two…instead of having 28 Days, New Life, Leaving & K7 all on the same EP, we’re going to split it into two…28 Days & New Life on the first installment, and Leaving & K7 on the 2nd.
Seems better use of the material to divide it [...]
