Field Rotation + Mari Solaris - Lament

FeedbackLoop Label proudly presents Brave New World its second compilation. Twenty one very talented artists accepted the challenge to compose a music based on two poems I've written about my fascination for cities, and twenty pictures Jessica Aliaga Lavrijsen chose to illustrate the poems. The result is a two hour collection of Poetic Urban Landscapes that span from magical moments one can find if enjoying the moods of the city, into verbal expressions and different everyday life situations.

"Available music in the web is a marvelous world to uncover, and ever since I came across the concept of Netlabels I was immediately stunned by the amount of music to discover. But shortly after I was overwhelmed by the fast paced releases and hard to find pearls (at least the ones that lasted more than 2 or 3 careful auditions). There are netlabels and record labels for all genres and you can find out there everything, but my intentions regarding the foundation of a label are based on two critical issues: listeners pleasure and tribute to the artist.

I want to release music that lasts one year, ten years, a lifetime, and that gives its listeners always a good reason to get back to it and also to promote as much as possible the artists that produce that music. I'm interested in the sensations that music transmits, its richness and its versatility." - Feedback Loop

Darwin Raymond - In Memory

Darwin Raymond ‎-- Night
Label: Feedback Loop Label -- FbL024
Format: 10 × File, MP3, VBR
Country: Portugal
Released: Apr 2012
Genre: Electronic
Style: Ambient
Cover [Design] -- Leonardo Rosado
Mastered By -- madSavVy Productions
Photography By -- Darwin Raymond

There are defining moments that carry with them an extreme joy or an immense pain, but past that instant what probably remains more vivid is the collection of moments that led to that instant and what followed subsequently. And that process is filled with little details.
In Night, Darwin Raymond explores this path creating a homage to one of his own personal defining moments and painting an oppressive archetypal night of his own, but what one cannot stop feeling is the underlying existence of light still below, undermining the loss and pushing into the day.
Darwin Raymond crafted an album that sounds like classical ambient, with beautiful textures and an ever present clean guitar. - Leonardo Rosado

Short Bio
Darwin Raymond is a musician currently residing in Columbus, Ohio. Primarily guitar based, his recent work has been about the overlap and interplay of the present with memory. While Darwin has been making music for over twenty years, he has only recently begun actively recording and releasing his compositions.
Night was begun two years after his wife passed away and is specifically a reflection of the events regarding her illness, passing and the loss and emotions that have followed. As such, each piece was made by recording a track and immediately overdubbing it with one or more tracks in an attempt to maintain the feeling of that specific time.
This album is dedicated to his wife, Jaime Raymond.

Actraiser - Phantomile

Actraiser ‎-- Phantomile EP
Label: Cut -- CUT014
Format: 5 × File, FLAC, EP
Country: UK
Released: 05 Oct 2012
Genre: Electronic
Style: Dubstep

After our short haitus in releases, Actraiser steps up to the plate and really gives Cut something to shout about. The Phantomile EP from Bristol based Actraiser demonstrates Rob's natural ability to craft classic sounding, yet forward thinking dubstep tracks.
Throw in a cheeky remix of Shadow Boxing, alongside the pounding "The King Is Dead" or the more ethereal tones on title track "Phantomile" and you've got a 5-track EP destined for the DJ boxes of many, and an EP that we're really proud of here at Cut.

Cut started in January 2011 by DFRNT, Cut is a netlabel providing free music with an emphasis on quality. Cut's aim is to show you that free music can be as valued and highly regarded as any other.
Cut hopes to bring out a range of regular free releases spanning electronic bass music from dubstep, drum & bass, garage, bassline, techno, dub-techno, or whatever you like.
Most netlabels have a stigma attached to them leading people to assume that because the music is free, it's low quality. Cut has set out to debunk that myth.

ActRaiser is an electronic music producer, creating music for clubs, home listening, and indie video games.
His music is always deep and musical but retaining enough punch to work on the dance floor. He can be found making tracks of all genres, Dubstep, Drum & Bass, Riddim House, Footwork, Jungle or Chillout.
He has music released on a wide variety of labels such as Echodub, Cut, Gradient Audio, Stepping Forward, Paradise Lost and Car Crash Set.
