While Wordburglar continues to work on his official follow-up to Burglaritis, he has dropped a CD of rarities and remixes that began as a tour CD and has been picked up for distro by Urbnet, coming out January 19 on iTunes and in physical form.
Check out the interview here:
JazzB and CAPS3 continue their “no sales” model of music dissemination with a combined total of three new discs worth of music. JazzB presents two-parter For.Ever.Great.Full, a collection of instrumentals and odd remixes, while CAPS3’s Pixelate goes the vocal route. As well, their first collection, Creator / Pixel, released one year ago, will get resurrected as a free download on Hand’Solo Records. Check back for that one soon.
In the meantime…
