-------------------------------
Mind-bending electronica for the masses!
Chris Rice, Josh Small, and executive producer Mark Sandstorm have quite a sweet deal for you kids coming later this summer!
This project has been in the works now for quite some time yet is just getting started! With a release on the established SF electronic label FREQUENCY-8, these guys are an act to follow for sure! With multiple genres and lots of whomp, AudioBomb is a party-amping ultra-machine here to knock your socks off!
Be sure to catch laptop sets by AudioBomb at an event near you along with their friends Hellicopter Showdown!
-------------------------------
Fully live drum machines and synths!
Truth Acid is yet another project from Sandstorm and Chris Rice which will debut later in the month with some fresh and completely live electronica. NO SEQUENCES, NO PROGRAMED BEATS. ALL LIVE.
Each performace of Truth Acid and every recording is live. Every sound is started from a simple waveform and every drum beat made from scratch and on-the-fly. There is no automation, no pre-sequenced instrumentation. Just a grip of synths & drum machines. All of these devices are then blended together through a small mixing board (and a compressor for some serious kicks) and recorded into a computer.
Made just for you. Just for that moment.
Armed with a set of hardware and totally acid.
True deal: Truth Acid.

Josh Small from The JKLoL and producer Mark Sandstorm have teamed-up once again to bring you tasty treats of dancefloor goodness. Electro house and fidget are the flavor, and your ears are the taste buds. Don't miss a chance to hear these two musicians tear into your speakers with sonic mastery and melodic bliss while still supplying loads of heavy basslines and distorted synth swells. If you have been enjoying the upbeat style of progressive electro, you will need this project in your iPod immediately.

RHUBARB -
VERY FAST. VERY BRUTAL.
Rhubarb's new album is out now on iTunes and all other good music retailers online. Complete with deep growling metal sounds and dark evil timbres that make you want to run screaming from your speakers, Rhubarb seeks to spit vomit and blood into your face while singing you demented songs about demons. This is an ultra-madness-core type of thing. Take a listen and hear for yourself on our new iPhone app!
-------------------------------
Theatrical math rock to the extreme! Original is an understatement!
D-Fault Records' newest band, THE JKLOL, has just released their new album produced by Mark Sandstorm in Oakland, California. "For The Win" is the title of this ambitious and well thought-out team's new album. As fun as their music is, JKLOL is nothing to laugh at since they just so happen to have a full orchestra and metal band with the utmost of skill and precision! This album is available on CD and MP3 from our website and cdbaby, iTunes, Rhapsody, DigStation, Lala, etc. Buy the cd, though.... It's better. You get art and stuff...not to mention better sound quality! ;)

Featured in the song "Day" on the new album from THE JKLOL!
Cutloose's album is now almost completed! The debut Cutloose album (new glitch-hop electro breakbeat musical mashup) will be mastered and relesed very soon! Mark Sandstorm has been working with Cutloose since last november on producing an album with a fun and mostly light-hearted glitch-hop/turntablist theme. We just know you are going to love the wobbles and bleeps of this witty and fun new take on a fresh sound that everybody is raving about! Kids from SF all the way to Hong Kong have been loving sets by Dj Cutloose for past few years, particulary in Asia and Europe with lots of new USA tour dates all the time! Good times all around the globe... especially if Cutloose is on the job! Make sure to come out and see Cutloose come out from Australia to dj live in person at The DNA Lounge on June 12th!
