JILK, Kundama and Protest Crayon. December 1st - Mr Wolfs.

Drawn and Bit Phalanx are teaming up to bring you a belter of a night to welcome in the festive month.

Jilk will be celebrating his recent release on Bit Phalanx - Carry on!, and backing him up are the incredible 'Protest Crayon' and 'Kundama' - two of Bristol's finest live beatmakers and electro loons. This is going to be big!

There will also be the usual live visuals courtesy of Lumen, a video installation, a sprinkling of live art and a smattering of DJ action. Maybe a little bit of DIY publishing handed out to boot!

3 quid - 9pm What else are you going to do on a Thursday?

The lovely people at BBC Introducing Bristol played the Startslow remix of Kloudbreak's track 'Afterglow', taken from their seminal debut E.P. 'Elements' (released by us).

It's on at around the 8 minute mark, with some big love shown for Kloudbreak.

Our man Simon Mills is hanging an exhibition of his lovely artwork in the rather trendy shop Urban Outfitters. Go down and check it out if you have a minute and you're in Bristol town centre.

You can also catch Si do some 'performance art' (not that sort you idiot - just standard drawing and stuff, but like a performance - tsk) at the next Drawn night @ Mr Wolfs on 6th October. We're hoping to do something a bit special for this one.

Yes indeed, Brisfest was epic. Well the bit we were involved with was at any rate. The underground car park by the amphitheatre was shaking to some ridiculous bass vibrations for three days. I had no idea that extraction conduits could carry basslines so effectively!

BRISFEST BRISFEST BRISFEST!

This year they've gone and secured an underground CARPARK for some massive dance business. This is going to be sooobig. Lumen, Startslow and Markmaker from the Drawn Recordings massive will be in amongst it doing their thing.

Last night Lumen did a live mix on hivemind as a pre Brisfest warmup. He rinsed out a couple of tunes from the Drawn stable among the other little beauties in there.

We're doing that Menyou thing again with this release. Basically it's a way of selling music and the money going to the creator of the micro store. That means you can grab the embed code, stick on your blog or site or whatever, and if anyone buys it from there, the creator gets a cut. You could be making cash from us!!! Well, maybe, worth a shot though isn't it? Better then a youtube vid.

Our friends Metaphra are self releasing their debut album on June 6th. Originally from Bristol, this duo now live in Sunny Cornwall and are chucking out really good stuff. Not surprising when the main producer is Richard Gale, otherwise known as the demented DnB nutjob Dephazed.

Support independent music, especially good stuff.

Here's the full press release:-

Metaphra "Kleptocracy" Biography

Two years in the making, Kleptocracy is the debut album UK electronic music duo Metaphra.

Richard and Marie met in Bristol in 2007 whilst DJing at the same event. It wasn't until they had known each other for some time that they found themselves together in the studio and stumbled across their own unique style of vocal electronica.

Their blend of female vocals, bass-heavy yet laid-back rhythms, enchanting melodies, lush soundscapes, live instruments and cutting edge sound design takes listeners on an epic journey through sound.

Marie's powerful yet sweet vocals glide effortlessly through the lush soundscapes and she is able to transform her incredible voice to perfectly fit the varied grooves. The lyrical themes of Kleptocracy range from political commentary to love songs, to the fantastical and magical, and they aim to inspire.

It's back on again. We can now offer the chance to make some money by reselling Drawn music via

Menyou. This means that you can set up a microstore and then offer people the option to buy the music via your own blog or website or whatever.

People can also listen to the tracks via the embedded widget, so you can use it instead of posting a youtube clip to show people music too, but with the potential for actually helping the artist (and you) via a sale.

This is a great way of snatching a bit of power back from the corporate giants like itunes and amazon, and putting the future of real music back in the hands of real people.

Check it out!

After a rather extended hiatus, we are setting about putting together the next issue of the Drawn zine. You can download previous issues from our releases page for free in pdf form.

Kicking off the Drawn Mix series is Waxmouse with this simply magnificent offering.

Waxmouse delves a little further into his record collection, hunting out some forgotten favourites. There's lots of clicks, wurrs, buzzes and crunchy vocal samples on this murky beast of a mix.

Prism is the outstanding independent Bristol Skate film by James Harris/Redlight. It documents the current Bristol scene from a slightly different angle then the standard series of 'bangers', and is in all respects amazing.
