cornflakes and coffee calibre, they are works of seedy and sinister

electro that are more suited to dark subterranean clubs and isolated

headphones…” Read All…

Anthiliawaters “The Miles Without You” LP

In New Releases on February 3, 2008 at 5:20 am

Anthiliawaters is a collective based on one simple need, a sound track for starting your day. It’s the music score for that first cup of espresso, that hangover, or when you are sitting there half awake eating toast trying to motivate yourself to go get dressed for work. For those sexy moments that music these days just can’t give you. Whatever the case maybe we are here for you. So relax and breathe deep as we get you going. From the deep soulful intro track “The Glades” with it’s deep dub baselines and sexy vocals welding themselves to a heavy electro-house grooves, to the dark 808 sounds of “Midnight”, we will take you with us on our sound track to life. Our one objective is to make moments not music for moments. So what is Anthiliawaters? It’

s sexy breakfast electro resistant to time coming from here and there.Debut album “The Miles Without You” CD/MP3 out on Jan. 22, 2008 at fine shops.

ISO-032CD Anthiliawaters “The Miles Without You” CD / MP3

Miami’s Isophlux label has already provided a launch pad for electronica heavyweights like Lusine, Lexaunculpt and Gosub, but now the imprint’s just limbering up for a second life, having been off the radar since 2001. Isophlux spearheads its return with Anthhiliawaters, a project once described as “breakfast electro” (an odd idea given support by the label’s website). This is far more than mere music to eat cereal to: the production taps into a Detroit-influenced vision of the future, with warm, jazzy synth pads supplying a melodic counterpart to the softly crunching, electro-tinged beats. The bizarre breakfast theme rears its head once again on ‘Morning Coffee’, in which a voice tells you to “wake up” repeatedly. Crazy. Once again though the simplicity and warmth of the production wins out – this is solid home listening fare that allows its warehouse roots to show through just enough to avoid being tarred with an IDM brush.

Why Did Isophlux Stop & Start Backup??

In Isophlux Returns on February 3, 2008 at 5:05 am

Isophlux Logo Well since 2001 and all that happened on 9/11 Isophlux stop releasing any new music. The after shock of 9/11 killed us and we just could not keep the momentum going with release. Our main distributor “Watts Music” closed it’s door, our pressing plant we built from the ground up fell on it’s face, and then economy slowed which made record sales drop way down. At that point we decided to take a break from everything and basically say “fuck it”. We broke out from Brooklyn and moved down to Florida to take some well needed time off from the craziness of the world. With no internet, computers, or even a cell phone we actually learned to relax and cut ourselves out from the world.It was great to escape for a year down to the tropics. Coming from New York to South Florida is like waking up and realizing you are on another planet. First, you don’t have the noise and the sound of drunks coming home at four in the morning. Second, Miami has so much vegetation and animals all around you. It takes some times for your eyes to re-adjust to not seeing buildings, buildings, building. Between a small town called Jupiter and the most southern key, Key West, I got allot of sun, did allot of dancing, eating allot of good food, and catching up with friends & family. Coming down to South Florida was the best thing I did, it started to become more then just and escape it started becoming home.In 2007 after along time thinking about Isophlux and the love we had for what we started years back. We decided to look into bringing Isophlux back to life. First we contacted Bleep.com and talked to them about online digital sales from select back catalog items and figured this would be a good place to start. We dug threw the pile of master DAT tapes and started to recompile and re-master all of the back catalog. It was fun going through all the old track and realizing why we liked all those tracks in the first place all those years back. In April of 2007 Isophlux made it’s first reappearance on Bleep.com. We offered up all the old classic release from Lusine, Influx, Gosub, Wyndell Long, etc… It was really great to start seeing some feed back from old friends and past supporters of the label. Plus it was great to hear from new people that had just discovered Isophlux. There is noting like fresh virgin ears. Ahhh… At the end of 2007 and seeing all the feedback we had gotten from Bleep and the Gosub project on other labels we decided to start introducing new artist again, so we got together with a few friends and submitted tracks for a compilation project called Anthiliawaters. After we compiled all the tracks we decided to release the project on Isophlux in CD/MP3 format, and so fare so good. Now with the feedback and sales we are getting with the Anthiliawaters project we plan on starting a full release schedule for 2008 & 2009.  So I guess Isophlux is back on the grind. Start sending us those demos!!!
