Afternaut

Afternaut is the latest project from the Liverpool based musician, Adam Rowley. For the past decade Adam has been involved with various music projects, initially starting off playing guitar in bands. But it wasn’t until 2004, while studying Film and TV at university, where he was introduced to sound manipulation using computers with effects and synthesis. This interest led to working on sound for film projects at university. Not only recording sound but also creating soundtracks. Since 2006, Adam has also been a sound designer/audio producer for the games industry.

Paradigm Shift

Hailing from Dallas, Texas, these two young men seek to set a new example among their peers, "We are called to be witnesses in all that we do, and this is not a responsibility to be taken lightly, it follows us to the most secret corners of our lives." It is with this clear direction that Trent and Christian set out to test the waters to see what kind of response they would receive to their music.

Paul Cooper

Co-runs Project Squared. Co-runs Project Mooncircle. Has made and released music as Mr Cooper (instrumental hip hop, production for rappers). I started this label as my music taste is branching out from hip hop and electronic “listening” music and is becoming more focused on music to dance to, primarily dubstep and techno and the places inbetween these two genres. I found two artists who deserved to be released on vinyl and decided to make a label for them and hopefully others to follow… Maybe even for my own productions in the realm of techno and dubstep eventually...

Drift (Oxford, UK)

Drift is a three piece band that features the iridescent voice of Comus vocalist Bobbie Watson, the sometimes shimmering, frequently incandescent guitar work of Rich Hamel, and the chest-collapsing lo-bass of Comus' woodwind player & percussionist Jon Seagroatt.
Their fractured songs dialogue and take issue with laptop-fired loops of percussion and electronica. A number of their songs appear on Bobbie Watson's 'Off The Leafy Pathway' album, available from Reverb Worship at http://www.reverbworship.com.
