New digital label seeking demos. Bring on the bass!

Post by djshiva » Thu Jul 05, 2007 8:35 pm

Surface Tension Recordings is a new digital label started by Indianapolis' own techno/dubstep soldier DJ Shiva. At first I was looking to find that space in between the techno and dubstep sound, and after a bit of reassessment, I realized that I like just about everything. So why should I keep myself restrained by subgenrefication (izzat even a word)?

Send your demos through the Myspazzle or to surface.tension.01 AT gmail DOT com.

Worldwide distribution through GrooveSource.

i am really excited about this project right now. i have been frustrated with techno lately, but dub and dubstep mingling with techno is just thoroughly thrilling me right now. :)

and with groovesource on our side, i can make sure the artists get PAID. that's pretty important to me as well.

so after a little introspection and a few discussions with folks, i decided not to be so restrictive in what i am looking for with this label. still hoping to find some really great tunes in the techno/dubstep vein, but...fuck it...i just wanna put out great tunes and make the music more accessible and get the artists paid.

so send me links (myspazzle and virb are fine) or demos and let's see what we can get started! getting the last bits ironed out with the distro as we speak.
