WEFT Records - New netlabel from Gusset

I've stared a net label. WEFT Records.

"Two sets of thread or yarn make up a piece of woven fabric. During the weaving process the warp threads are stretched from the back to the front of the loom. The weft threads are inserted across the loom at right angles to the warp; the weft threads going under and over the warp threads."

Already available for download are two old Gusset EPs, Silencio and Skidmark, and the great new Housewarming EP by Jilk. And lovely it is too. Just the thing when you are kicking through the 5mm of snow.

More releases are planned. Demos are welcome, please email odd tracks or, if you have a whole EP, a link to gusset at gmail.

In particular I'm looking for tracks for a compilation of world music influenced electronic music. If you have anything that fits that please let me know.

Thanks.

Workspace

Where do you make noise?

This is the Bristol contingent of the Gusset studio. My bandmate Spokesy has a separate set-up in London, with work transferred between us as Adobe Audition sessions on an ftp site. In the photo you can see my desktop, my live laptop, a Spirit FolioSX mixing desk, a Dave Smith Instruments' Evolver desktop analogue/digital hybrid monosynth, a Alesis Photo X25 Midi controller keyboard and I/O and Absolute Zero monitors. Out of shot there is an old cinema poweramp salvaged from an Odeon refit and a couple of guitars. The cupboard to the left if full of other junk like old guitar effects, electronic toys for circuit bending (should I ever get around to it), contact mics, etc.



You can hear this lot in action at the next Goatlab at the Croft on June 20th. I'm also playing in room 3 at Bash Out at the Black Swan on June 14th although I think that is going to primarily a spoken word set (not that I've written it yet).

We'd love to see what other producers set-ups look like. Please post yours here if you have access or mail it to us if you'd like to see it up here. Hopefully we can build an archive of all of the Bristol Breakcore producer's workspaces, which should be interesting.
