The floodgates have opened: free music is bigger than ever before. Of course, not every netlabel release makes it to prime time, but for those of you seeking more than what you will find in our free music section, here are a few turkey leftovers: Demoniac Insomniac – Underground Resistance EP, Klopfgeister – Early Ambient Tunes 2003-2005, V/A – Dead Of Night Vol. 1, Horrible Brain Vol. 1, V/A – Mental Sauce, V/A – Sahasrara (Flash interface; you’ll have to root around), and V/A – Super Nova. Rough and raw promos are also available from Terranoise, Wizack Twizack, and True Anomaly. Finally, Nano Records is offering a few MP3 freebies on their web site that might be worth a look.

It is our pleasure to once again present to you our annual new years celebration! Meet and greet 2009 with our special line up:

REPEAT CUSTOMER *LIVE*
Blacklight Activists / Toronto, Canada

Having both been involved in various projects over the years the two bring together a mature and cultured sound that will not be bound by genrefication. Being heavily influenced by the psychedelic, techno and progressive movements, these elements are deeply rooted in their innovative music. Dark and atmospheric sound scapes propel you into a world of unknown emotion, exploring the vastness of the night, pulled from the void by the solar sounds of light. The mission – to undue the chains of midi-ocrity that bind so much progress, and reserect the finest elements of underground sounds.

NEXUS 7 *LIVE*
Substance Recordings / Toronto, Canada

The Nexus7 is Steve Chan, a performer, producer and remixer based out of Toronto. After spending a number of years in the U.K., Steve was inspired by live PA performers such as Lab4, K90, Nu Idol, and Captain Tinrib to begin to create what has become The Nexus7. The Nexus7 is described on Ektoplazm.com as “a fresh act rising from the underground featuring a tight blend of trance styles, both hard and psychedelic”. Over the past year, The Nexus7 live show has had great success, playing at events by Shakti Collective, Braincell ProductionsGlobal, Ektoplazm, at Darkrave, Outworld Resistance, and with Bizune Audio at the Tokyo CyberMonster Party2. Each one hour, continuous set has its own flavour. The show is in a constant state of evolution, as Steve is always remixing, writing and adding new material to the set. With an array of synths played and tweaked, and with real-time control over a multitude of parameters, each performance becomes a unique experience.
