Check out a disc coming out next week from Vinyl Republik. The label is based in Winnipeg and has put out discs by artists such as Sinewave, Pete Samples, and Lampshade. Up next, a compilation called ‘Fear Of A Digital Planet’.

You can stream the record here.

Definitely a good cross-section of interesting electronic music.

Sinewave

So I found this old Sailor’s hat at Value Village today. I gotta say, it fits very well. Kind of makes me feel more worldly.

But I keep getting this suspicion that the ghost of some old Sea Dog (or alley Captain) is going to take over my brain and the writing. Someone warn me if I start referencing bands as being too “Bilgy” or worthly of tossing “Cackle Fruit”.

Sinewave. Haven’t seen this band yet, but am going to try and see them at Canadian Music Week. Vinyl Republik (Sinewave’s label) will be putting on a showcase Thursday, March 2nd at the Spin Gallery.

The band has a nice sound (down-tempo electronic). I love this track “Wizard Of Ahhhs“. There’s a great build there.
