OUT NOW! WE REPEATED // ONE ERA REMIXED

Out of the studio and around the world. The tracks from One Era's debut release "We Repeat" get deconstructed by acts as diverse and far flung as DJ APT One, Glenn Dale, Stereo 77, Instamatic, New Channel, and One Light. The results are tracks reborn into cosmic disco, house, downtempo and indie-electro. Ready for dancing in your head space. As a bonus the previously unreleased "Only You" a One Era collaboration with vocalist Amy Carrigan is also included.

OUT NOW! THE VERBRILLI SOUND: ANUNNAKI

The Verbrilli Sound's 4th full length release is a deeper conceptual release that's unique to any of the previous Verbrilli Sound releases. This album reveals yet another dimension to the artist's body of work.

What they're saying:

Don Verbrilli goes deeper than his previous releases, exploring an ambient half-world inspired by cults of fallen angels. If there’s any subliminal religious propaganda Verbrilli buries it well: ‘Edin’ features a gently marching keyboard beat, reverberating guitar and bright harp-like strings; ‘They Shall Built The Waste Cities’ glistens with acoustic guitar-play and distant ethereal voices. Think Xela before he got hooked on zombie VHSs.

This is aural Kaiseki, with a generous drizzle of Don Verbrili's psilocybin-infused truffle oil throughout. That's what real instrumentation and unctuous analog recording manages in our time. It's the sound of sunsets over the Strait of Georgia; Adriatica for a new world.
- Andy BGPZ, Purple Radio (www.purple-radio.co.uk)


A rich and deeply textured ambient album. Anunnaki manages to sit on the edge of the electronic and the organic, where glistening guitars collide with the lushness of synthetic sounds. The album also strikes an intricate balance of eastern and western musical ideas and concepts. In my opinion, the album is best listened to as a whole, as I did on a recent road trip. It was a trip all right."
- Dylan DF Tram (Ambisonic), San Francisco

From the spine-tingling Eridu to the Pierre Henry-esque Niburu (via the heart-warming Edin) this album is confident and assured, minimal yet rich. An instant ambient classic and, for me, possibly Don Verbrilli's finest yet.
-Spinning Tops, The Random Selector, London, UK

 



 

 

UPSTAIRS RECORDINGS WELCOMES
HIGAMOS HOGAMOS TO THE ROSTER

WE'RE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE that we'll soon be releasing music from London, UK, based band Higamos Hogamos.

Steve Webster's (ex The Black Neon, Fort Lauderdale) Higamos Hogamos return in yet another incarnation, as ever collaborating with some awesome musicians and some crazy old machines. Their latest work adds a solid muscular funk to the cosmiche sound first heard on the eponymous debut album. At their core Higamos Hogamos is essentially a three piece with Dr. Andrew Robertson on guitar, Whetham "Whethmo" Allpress on drums and Webster on much of everything else. The result is a music that utterly defies classification. Recalling artists as diverse as Can, Parliment, Zappa, Cluster, Material, Ashra and Eno bathing in some cosmic funky slop. They still haven't quite answered their self posed question: "what would happen if you were to mix Tangerine Dream with the Cramps?" But on this evidence the answer just might be out there.
