The independence of music

"The independence of music is based on those people mentally meditative, there is a part of our population that is greatly mental, and finds explanation and meaning in the independence of the music industry by some styles. Some lads are hugely mental and they find the response to those mental phases in their lives they have in those composers and producers of independent music not only in the electronic music. There are many styles of music in the deep space of the music scene and are independent beside popular music, they become followers, listeners, consumers, buyers of these styles by a simple natural connection equitative on mental dynamics. For example the techno music is as well on that deep space of the music industry became independent by nature, but techno is different, it has the principle base of any future genre, the harmonic dynamic and rhythm also structure is the base for many styles of music that will comes, styles created mentally meditative  as well or not so."

New Poster item for the next promotion about Kirsten Carey & Naoyasu Takahashi, both united releasing in the sub label in the month of April 2025. More information at the main site.

Naoyasu Takahashi in No Records

Born in Tokyo. He began his music career in 1990 by joining the thrash metal band DISASTER. After that, the band changed its name to Cui Bono? due to musical changes and member changes, and remained active until around 1996. After the band disbanded, he temporarily took a break from his main music activities. In 2009, he joined the reunion of DISASTER and resumed his music activities. In parallel with DISASTER's activities, in 2012 he joined the formation of the hip hop band VARRISPEEDS by Takao Ikeda, who was active with Cui Bono?. In addition, due to the influence of the bassist Tsuru Nasunomitsuru, whom he had been studying since 2011, he gradually began to engage in improvisational performances.In 2014, he started the duo slag with Keita Ozaki, who is also a member of VARRISPEEDS, with guitar and bass, and in 2016 he started activities with drummer Fumito Sugo as Pile-up, which invites guests every time and performs improvisations. In addition, he participates solo, in various bands, and units, and also hosts his own projects. DISASTER, which he was involved with for many years, left in 2019 after many twists and turns. The main participating bands and units currently active include VARRISPEEDS, slag, Itsuro1×2_6+Topological, and ZOZOZEZE. He also focuses on solos that use a lot of effects. Participating works include two DISASTER albums (2016's "The World Is Your Disaster" and 2018's "Coppertone"), and Nasu no Mitsuuru's 2018 release "ten, eleven to twelve". In addition, as part of slag, he participated in the music production for director Takehito Nakahara's independent film "Kubomi" released in 2018, and released "Pale Blue Moment" in September 2019. 

Why many producers aren't signed by regular destacable labels

"The reason it's because there is a difference between the job of a producer and the application of sound design; Many producers out there has notable creativity and imagination, but it's not the same work on a creative structural production that design a quality sound, the sound design and its quality is defined by the texture of the sound (nothing about structural terms) and this texture to be valuable has to be mild to the ear not aggressive, you can do an aggressive sound in a track to make explote it on the floor but the texture of each sound of the track it must have quality. This is why most of the producers are not signed by the labels they have into their objective to increase their careers to another level."

A message to you

"This is a message for all of you; This year is going to be abstract to me, the label is growing up little by little (I do not like to say big) and things that before the last years has not space in my project are now a reality, I do not know which direction it is getting up, but surely I would love to occupy your minds with the extremely vibes across of our artists and their music and makes you feel awesome for the forward times I go to work with. Big hugs to everyone."

The project the most I like

"In my personal opinion this the project the most I like, made few years ago under a long nights and deep emotive curse of production this album was a feeling inside of me on many expectation producing an hybrid Techno. Will be out early this next summer on vinyl record pre-order."

No Records next steps 2025

No Records the division is more stronger than ever and fitful of impressive new releases for this year 2025. This while the audience can listen to some excerpts of the intro release made by magician artists. All the year the sub label will be the starring of the company to demonstrate that the experiments in music and electronics will be alive for decades. The pretending artists out there could be part of this getting in touch with our main general contact, just be talented. Julio loves his No Records sub label by the richness it has on its releases, finding many talents in the scene. The example of Giovanni Alibrandi it's clear, how a violinist nowadays is getting closer touch in electronics. The Russian noise project by Alex (Islamic State) is more else we want to be part of, extreme pure noise vibes showing the power of white noise, and Kirsten Carey, how a guitarist can form part of many projects at the same time and develop impressive artistic maners. Do not forget to fall into these three next releases in the next few months. No Records is a division of outer space travel in music.

Any deejay could be an audio engineer

"Any deejay could be an audio engineer, it is only mixing with low, mid and high frequencies, I do not understand the importance of being an audio engineer more than a deejay. If there are lads making the role of audio engineer more relevant than a deejay these are mixing the three phases of mixing from the first minute in a set."

Surprising Noise-Core

This 2025 will appear immediately at half of the year the surprising noise-core album extremely hardcore for the ears of anybody, from Russia we will have new noise music on the sub label No Records, this time the CEO found something special in it, it's the key of derivation dynamic from Merzbow class, more than a simple objective to destroy the soul listening to this, we found very hardcore animalistic sound, mixed on Nühn studio to left volume on the works, because the pure production could annihilate the ears of the audience. We think making an outing to noise music is the example to accept that in 2025 this music genre is more popular than 20 years back at the time, so now we have the obligation to make it out from at least our sub label, our listener could find this style many times in the next few years and decades. It's time next year to get back to the annihilating mode sound. Let's wait!

People do not understanding the policy of major sources

"People do not understanding the policy of major sources, if this year we had a Dance music deejay at the top number one is by a simple reason, since 25 or 30 years the Dance music was the main engine of promotional sources, being the radios that promoted this genre as mainstream, the reason is because the multinational labels invest money in it, and being big we can imagine the number of this investing, if someday something changes in the point of view of this main labels surely we will get other types of genres in the worldwide top one, but meanwhile this main labels do not change the direction we will have the same type of music on main radios from morning to night. And all of this will cause deejays providing other genres will not get the first positions."

What old deejays cannot do

"What old deejays cannot do is criticize current scenes, because everybody evolves in different speed, when you get age you evolves slowly, current scenes is what it is, and someday the current will old and will come more different sounds. And we cannot criticize for the eternity."

First electronic music in history

Silver Apples were an American electronic rock group from New York, active between 1967 and 1970, before reforming in the mid-1990s. It was composed of Simeon (born Simeon Oliver Coxe III, June 4, 1938 – September 8, 2020), who performed on a primitive synthesizer of his own devising; and, until his death in 2005, drummer Danny Taylor. The duo were among the first to employ electronic music techniques outside of academia, applying them to 1960s rock and pop styles.

As part of New York's underground music scene, the band released two albums—Silver Apples (1968) and Contact (1969)—to poor sales. They began recording a third album before a lawsuit by Pan Am, owing to the use of their logo in the artwork of Contact, forced the end of the group and its label Kapp in 1970. In the 1990s, German bootleg recordings of the band's albums raised their profile, and Simeon reformed the group with other musicians and released new music. In 1998, he reconnected with Taylor, and the two completed their original third LP The Garden (1998). After Taylor's death, Simeon continued releasing Silver Apples projects using samples of Taylor's drumming.

Darius Ciuta; it's going to be appeared as new recording

Darius Ciuta; it's going to be appeared as new recording for 2025, in No Records.

basic sound objects - stones

Recorded, composed and mastered in A.Šančiai , Kaunas , Lithuania.

Darius Ciuta, Lithuanian architect, sound artist, born 1966, is an artist that definitely can not be pigeonholed for the marketing purposes of narrative and aesthetic unidrectional coherence, although if you stand between and shuffle through his work you will find a labyrinth of communicating vessels. His works  explore continuously new alphabets spectrums, building an intricate vocabulary of frequencies and densities as translations and transformations (exchange between sound and spaces). Structured architectural approaches with a clear perspective not only invites to what is beyond stritctly personal music but rather etwines a evershifting method of researching a singular plunge into sound itself.

Vinyl records is not a best format

"Vinyl records is not a best format than all digitalism material we are having these days. Today the digital format has a volume and body never achieved before, in the mix transitions the deejay nowadays has more hard to not be discovered in mistaken because the volume of the body on beats has more force and relevance in sound and it's more easy to be catched in an error of wrong tempo transition. Technology gives more quality to the sound that 20 or 30 years ago, and it is something many people knows and nobody speaks about it. We are trapped in a nostalgic romanticism that do not let us see the reality. In the 80s the wave of a track had more low volumen in the body than these days, not in a high scale, in the width and in 20 or 30 years more it will achieve more volume on the body and giving quality to the sound and things will become more hard still, be sure."

Joy Division

Gatefold 2lp, inner sleeves of demos 1978/79 beautiful release and quality.

Joy Division were an English post-punk band formed in Salford in 1976. The group consisted of vocalist, guitarist and lyricist Ian Curtis, guitarist and keyboardist Bernard Sumner, bassist Peter Hook and drummer Stephen Morris.

Sumner and Hook formed the band after attending a June 1976 Sex Pistols concert. While Joy Division's first recordings were heavily influenced by early punk rock, they soon developed a sparse sound and style that made them one of the pioneering groups of the post-punk genre and movement. Their self-released 1978 debut EP An Ideal for Living drew the attention of the Manchester television personality Tony Wilson, who signed them to his independent label Factory Records. Their debut album Unknown Pleasures, recorded with producer Martin Hannett, was released in 1979.

Curtis struggled with personal problems, including a failing marriage, depression, and epilepsy. As the band's popularity grew, Curtis's health condition made it increasingly difficult for him to perform; he occasionally experienced seizures on stage. He died by suicide on the eve of what would have been the band's first North American tour in May 1980, aged 23. Joy Division's second and final album, Closer, was released two months later; it and the single "Love Will Tear Us Apart" became their highest-charting releases.

Between July and October 1980, the remaining members, with the addition of keyboardist and guitarist Gillian Gilbert, regrouped under the name New Order. They were successful throughout the next decade, blending post-punk with electronic and dance music influences. In 2023, both Joy Division and New Order were nominated as one act for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

1991

"It's all about the start. Pieces like this from 1991 was the most easy jobs to do in electronic music production, difficult to listen it full without not enter in exhausting boring. Todays is still boring, but it's all about a start, when nobody knew Warp and it was only an small store in Sheffield. Surely just 100 record copies pressed from this track and just 25 sold, also, the acronym WARP referending to: Weird And Radical Projects, invites to think that it was called like this to give a chance to be selled or listened. It's all about a start."

KLF

The KLF

(also known as the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, the JAMs, the Timelords and other names) are a British electronic band who originated in Liverpool and London in the late 1980s. Scottish musician Bill Drummond (alias King Boy D) and English musician Jimmy Cauty (alias Rockman Rock) began by releasing hip hop-inspired and sample-heavy records as the JAMs. As the Timelords, they recorded the British number-one single "Doctorin' the Tardis", and documented the process of making a hit record in a book The Manual (How to Have a Number One the Easy Way). As the KLF, Drummond and Cauty pioneered stadium house (rave music with a pop-rock production and sampled crowd noise) and, with their 1990 LP Chill Out, the ambient house genre. The KLF released a series of international hits on their own KLF Communications record label and became the biggest selling singles act in the world in 1991.

From the outset, the KLF adopted the philosophy espoused by esoteric novels The Illuminatus! Trilogy, making anarchic situationist manifestations, including the defacement of billboard adverts, the posting of cryptic advertisements in New Musical Express (NME) and the mainstream press, as well as unusual performances on Top of the Pops. In collaboration with Extreme Noise Terror at the BRIT Awards in February 1992, they fired machine gun blanks into the audience and dumped a dead sheep at the aftershow party. This performance pre-announced the KLF's departure from the music business and, in May of that year, they deleted their entire back-catalogue. Drummond and Cauty established the K Foundation and sought to subvert the art world, staging an alternative art award for the Worst Artist of the Year, and burning one million pounds sterling (approximately £2.35m as of 2022).

The duo have released a small number of new tracks since 1992, as the K Foundation, the One World Orchestra, and in 1997, as 2K. Drummond and Cauty reappeared in 2017 as the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, releasing the novel 2023, and rebooting an earlier campaign to build a "People's Pyramid". In January 2021, the band began uploading their previously deleted catalogue onto streaming services, in compilations.

Ohrwert 

Has been the moniker for dub excursions since 2006 and the focal point of musical output for many years. Have been doing hardware live shows since 2008 but minimized the setup over the years. Still incorporate hardware in shows, but not as much due to logistics and vulnerability of vintage equipment. “Ohrwert” has been registered as a business since 2013 at the Chamber of Commerce in Arnhem, the Netherlands under number 57557209 with EU-VAT ID NL001863977B42, and is also trading as “Arjen Schat” and “Trésor D’argent”.

Have been releasing live ambient and sequential music as Arjen Schat since 2006 as well. Though most of the releases are influenced by the Berlin-school of electronic music, some albums include meditative drones and deep electronic soundscapes. Demonstrate a lot of the techniques uses on my YouTube channel, besides uploading studio performances and video clips.
