Two heroes of the new noise movement have recently branched out with their own boutique imprints.
MC Dälek, one-half of the New Jersey group of the same name, is launching a new label, Deadverse Recordings. The label's first release is Halfway Homeless, the second album from Bronx rapper Oddateee. Producers on the album include Dälek himself, former Aquabats producer Digital Unicorn and Phoenix newbie Komplx.
"I basically started deadverse recordings because I know of too many
great musicians with amazing albums, obviously some of which I have
been lucky enough to work on musically as well, that were not seeing
the light of day. During my recording career, I've been blessed to work
with incredibly fair and artist-friendly labels like Ipecac, Hydrahead,
and Public Guilt. I hope to model deadverse recordings after those
labels and provide a place for artists and their creations to call
home."
Meanwhile Vulture V, the main voice behind Food for Animals, has launched Future Times, a modest vinyl imprint for his solo production work. He adopted a pseudonym, Maximillion Dunbar, for his 7-inch single, "Outrageous Soulz" b/w "Dreamerzzz." "My dad is executive producer/chief investor. We went halfsies," he writes on Food for Animals' blog.
The "Outrageous Soulz" 7-inch is taken from Maximillion Dunbar's Feel Free, which Vulture V quietly posted in October 2007 on iTunes. It's still available for purchase. Meanwhile, you can mail order a copy of the single via Food for Animals' website.
