Notes: Asphodel's premiere DVD release features the Australian duo, turntablist Martin NG and guitarist Oren Ambarchi in collaboration with visual artists Tina Frank and Robin Fox for an AV expedition into the sublime and fascinating worlds of "Fateless". Since their teens the Australian electronic composers have produced with congruent obsessions in mind. After Ambarchi crashed one of NG's experimental basement jams with other local improvisers, they discovered their unique love for Buddhist harmonics and harmonic sound phenomenology. Their convergent interest in weird sounds lead to a long-lasting, musically productive friendship. In the summer of 2000 after Amarchi's own "What is Music" Festival, the two began formally producing together as respite from what they refer to as "a particularly long hot summer of antipodean improv noise fests." Commonly containing improvisational chaos with contemporary computer music's standards of pulses and glitches, the duo maintains balance of consonance and dissonance. Like the harmonic meditations, space is filled with bold resonance, expanding and contracting in tandem with Tina Frank's and Robin Fox's visual experiments. The combination of guitar and turntable remains mysteriously uncharacteristic of their sources, but this package of optical and sonic apparitions provides an eloquent passage into the realms of a separate reality.

Notes: The previously untold story of British dance music's first sub-bass revolution, tracing the origins, development, impact and influence of bleep techno, and the subsequent musical styles it inspired, on UK club culture.

Since the dawn of the 1990s, British dance music has been in thrall to the seductive power of weighty sub-bass. It is a key ingredient in a string of British-pioneered genres, including hardcore, jungle, drum & bass, dubstep, UK garage and grime.

In the Join The Future book, dance music journalist Matt Anniss (Resident Advisor, DJ Magazine, Red Bull Music Academy) traces the roots, origins, development and legacy of the sound that started it all: the first distinctively British form of electronic dance music, bleep techno.

A mixture of social, cultural, musical and oral history, Join The Future reveals the untold stories of bleep's Yorkshire pioneers and those that came in their wake, moving from electro all-dayers and dub soundsystem clashes of the mid-1980s to the birth of hardcore and jungle in London and the South East.

Along the way, you'll find first-hand accounts of key clubs and raves, biographies of forgotten and overlooked production pioneers, stories of bleep outposts in Canada and the United States, and the inside story of the early years of one of electronic music's most iconic labels, Warp Records.

Based on five years of research and hundreds of hours of new interviews, the book is a radical alternative history of the rise of British dance music during the late 80s and early 90s.

Notes: The Magic of We is a children's picture book by Danielle Anderson-Craig and illustrated by her friend and fellow teacher (they teach at the same school!), Carly Dooling. It is a tender tale of blossoming friendship in which two children meet and are transported into a world where the ordinary becomes fantastic and the known becomes surreal as their shared experience creates unlimited imagination and play. The refrain "Being with you..." reverberates throughout the pages of detailed imagery, lush with colour and imagination. It's a magical place that both kids and parents will recognize from their own experience of finding a kindred spirit. The Magic of We is not only for kids, but adults, too - and especially music lovers - exclusive music is featured from Grammy-winning musician Ikey Owens' solo work. A first book for both Anderson-Craig and Dooling, The Magic of We combines the magic of music and the music of words to describe the amazing feeling of finding someone who "fits" you.
