“DJ mistakes are two exercise bicycle driven turntables fabricated and ridden by Casey Farnum and Elliot Hess. This project re-introduces spontaneity into the DJ experience and asks how production and industry have assembled to create a listening experience quite different from the hand-cranked turntables it was initially borne from. With a shrug to the practice of crystallizing performances and their reception through vinyl and the audiophile entertainment- center this project re-introduces human touch into the listening experience. It looks back nostalgically to a time when gears and bicycles were the stuff of aural and physical revolutions. Yet it also seeks a contemporary framework in the DJ era where cutting and mixing revolutionized production making it both unpredictable and live. Bikes, turntables, gongs, a mixer, records, and a microphone all mash in this recording live from the Chicken Hut and 1086 Broadway, Brooklyn NY 2006-7.” Phil Schapp, 2011

Slicing Grandpa. No fucking joke. They're ripping it harder than anyone else. One of the favorite bands on the house. Garbage grunge collage abstractness at its lo-fiest, away from every trend, away from any hip. They're not old-fashioned, they're slicing-fashioned. Buy at your own risk... Edition of 60 copies w/ screenprinted covers.
Lens traveling through inner depths of transatlantic mirrorings. Light is never enough to clearly get the whole picture. On two homogeneous sides, two blindfolded cinematic enigmas are the only clue. Dig Sherlock, dig! Edition of 65 copies w/ screenprinted covers.
Total ugliness, volume no. 2 in tapes that blow skulls from the mysterious duo. Side A is laptop harshness, side B gtr + piano awkward imrov. Feels like the world came to an end, and that's totally it. Limited edition of 30 tapes, w/ spraypainted, stamped covers.
Guitar + drums electronica jam mayhem from Kostadis Michail (Lost Bodies) + Panagiotis Spoulos (Reverse Mouth). First installment, remixed in audiophile noise by Kostadis. More to come, certainly lots of more to explore + destroy. Edition of 60 copies, screenprinted covers + spraypainted discs.
