When I mentioned Dead Labels Society some two months ago, it was a figure of speech more than a real concept. But the number of your ideas and suggestions that followed, and also the relative success of Pork Recordings blog (expecting 100.000th reader any day now) convinced me to give it a try. Plus I'm no longer satisfied with dropping random albums and need a new challenge from time to time. So Dead Labels Society it is. I took a deep dive into the vaults and came back with material for about a dozen Dead Labels Society posts, ranging from ambient thru breakbeat and IDM to techno. Please don't expect labels like Moving Shadow (which would deserve a blog of its own though I'm pretty sure it would be swept away pretty soon) or labels that formed the sound of 1990s underground but are still active or relaunched, like Peacefrog or Hydrogen Dukebox. But I'm sure we can have a lot of fun while preserving music that wouldn't stand the test of commercial pressure otherwise.
Though my posting frequency was somewhat frozen by the time-consuming Dead Labels Society research, the many fans of Future Vintage Vaults series should not feel threatened by this new toy of mine. New FVV posts are ready and will appear regularly. Perhaps you may want to consider using the Donate button, every donation gives me a wake-up slap and points me in the right direction;)
