After a year of planning, connecting, producing and remixing, it looks like we have a music label on our hands. And not a bad one either. Ambient, progressive house, tribal-tech, breaks and a lot in-between; the cohesion between the artists on Pacific Front Recordings is displayed rawly in this mix as it moves smoothly from style to style without missing a beat. Artists and remixers that span the shores of the Pacific — from the heat of Los Angeles, to the mist of Victoria and Vancouver and the far reaches of Melbourne, Australia. I don’t know what it’s like there, but I’d like to visit some time and tell you what the weather’s like.
Thank you to those who have supported us as we’ve been delivering the goods. Support has come from around the world — Bulgaria, Finland, Germany, Greece, Netherlands, Portugal, Scotland, South Africa, Switzerland, UK, USA, Italy, Japan and more. Your support means a tonne to us and we’re really stoked that our music is finding its way to where you are.
The new mix ‘Storm Warning 001’ will debut on Proton Radio tonight at 10 PM PST and will kick off the series of mixed CD’s from Pacific Front Recordings.
Here is the tracklisting:
 
1. AFK – Emily’s China (edit)

that’s the 11″ x 17″ that is going up all over Victoria right now. wheeeeeeee! we’ll be making our way to the island on friday evening, 6 pm ferry most likely.
commander canes will be running with the boss sound, this saturday night at hush! (that’s me.)
i am so excited for this. it’s going to be radsauce. cd giveaways of my newest mix of super upfront Pacific Front Recordings choons and all.

after a whole lot of staying up late and moving stuff around, my scheme worked and I am the proud owner of a brand new weather rock! mouwahaha. what a trinket of true delight and practicality.

my heart for now is a private road
no thoroughfare
no heavy load
no slow traffic, no graphic details
of colder collisons
no more stories to make me end
snow falls in silence and covers the green
still you can see where the birds have been
hungry
but alive and free
waiting
waiting…
words: bent – private road

i can’t stop coughing. i am awake.






i went shooting with jay last night. it was cool to go some different places and i look forward to our next photo session. some of these shots are from the weekend as well. clicky on last one fer a bigger version.
music: girl nobody – smile and beware (stef & 16 bit lolitas remix)

was it loneliness that brought you here
broken and weak
was it tiredness that made you sleep
have you lost your will to speak
was it emptiness that made you weep
no more secrets to keep
was it bitterness that gave you time
to forgive your sins
was the earth spinning round
were you falling through the ground
as the world came tumbling down
you prayed to God what have we done
free me from these chains
i need to change my way
heal these broken wings
i need to fly far away
free me from these thoughts
long forgotten down below
take these angel’s words
give them life to carry on,
carry on, carry on
free me from these chains…
words: zero 7 – spinning

woe.
woe is you, and
woe is me, so
woe, i say, now
we are the woe.
written by da.

woe.
just say no, no to woe
and frolic like children, to and fro
for a poem like this, to hell i go
to join the darkling lonely crow.
written by tim emit.

woe.
unlocked heart
a longing to hold
take the path
written by mike ph0ng.

woe.
escaping from woe,
i dared to go,
far away into myself to grow.
but just like woe,
what a cunning foe,
he found me again to make me low!
written by jen felicity.

woe.
i wish it wasn’t so
but I am the woe
uncertainties and fears
are the sources of my tears
i don’t know where to go
i am the woe
wise, without fear
you made it all clear
i don’t have to go
we are the woe
written by amalia.

woe.
uncertainty will follow you
but it will not lead the way
take a minute to feel the path
and know what you want today
it is clear to all, now see
who lurketh in our long shadows,
patience can’t be sweet therapy
will we ever escape our woes?
written by davin.

all written today except the first, which was written yesterday.
woe.

i was just busy having a cobra rave in my office and someone from next door comes over and complained! that’s so cool. i am used to people not having the guts to say what their concerns are. isn’t that awful?!
