‘Plastic Sound Supply’ is the name of a friendly label hailing from Denver, Colorado in the USA.

Sabi, Glued on Thin Memories [Boltfish Recordings – BOLTLP009, 2010]

A very competent and well-executed album released on the relentless and yet very friendly Boltfish Recordings’ label in 2010. This 15 track album opens up with a classic take on electronic beats born on the other side of the Atlantic and may not be groundbreaking for 2011. However, the workmanship is most definitely there and… Continue reading Sabi, Glued on Thin Memories [Boltfish Recordings – BOLTLP009, 2010]

Soutien Gorge, Bolida/Hó [Boltfish Recordings – BOLTDIGI018, 2011]

Zzzzra, Licorne Sans Corne EP [Insectorama – insectorama043, 2011]

In the endless fields of Internet labels, I indirectly found a very talented music producer with an equally impossible name ‘Zzzzra’ (actually, and obviously I’m not the fastest mover around, I’ve come to realize that it is indeed a very clever name if you would type ‘Zzz’ in any given search field you would find… Continue reading Zzzzra, Licorne Sans Corne EP [Insectorama – insectorama043, 2011]

En:peg Digital is, or rather used to be the only digital branch of US label n5MD. The label originally started out releasing MiniDiscs. That would be Sony’s quirky and strange MiniDisc format that they eventually decided to discontinue as recordable media in 2006. They then left the US label among a few others with CD:s,… Continue reading Zainetica, Overcast City, [En:peg Digital – EN39, 2008]

Lackluster, Aeration EP [TwoCircles Records – [ [2circlesNet002], 2009]

Lackluster, what can one say? This entity (human) embodies the very essence of what contemporary electronic music is all about. This human has been producing music of the highest quality imaginable for a decade (that’s more than 10 years mind you) and possibly even longer, it is impressing to say the least and even more… Continue reading Lackluster, Aeration EP [TwoCircles Records – [ [2circlesNet002], 2009]

Teho Teardo, Soundtrack Work 2004-2008 [Expanding Records – ECD31:10, 2010]

After the release of Pq debut album ‘You’ll Never Find Us Here’ and following a period of quietness. This surprising second album appears on Expanding Records in 2010.
