Anthiliawaters
The Miles Without You
Isophlux — US
This Miami-based collective founded their sound on one basic auditory principle: getting your day up and going. Whether you are nursing a hangover, contemplating hooky, or cuddling with your boo-boo, these guys deliver a soundtrack to your morning espresso. Starting things off with a bit of super-swung breaks, mellow jive flutes, and a shifty ring-modulated melody, “The Glades” offers true soul with sexy vocals. Each track takes a delicate path, uniquely assembled with soothing chords, light percussive mixes, and bright melodies. Choosing a more reserved approach towards electro-aimed breaks and house, these are still funky, resilient jams.
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!!!
