Southern Outpost

Finally our special project from bvdub “Monuments To Oblivion” tape and vinyl are now out from Clone. Better hurry, the tape is only limited to 100!

Go get it here.

I’ve held onto the secret for long enough, so it’s time to let the cat out of the bag.

We are proud to be releasing a very special limited edition 4 track audio cassette by San Francisco native, bvdub, entitled ‘Monuments To Oblivion‘. The cassette will be limited to 100 copies, so you’ll need to get onto Clone real quick. The first 100 tapes will be bundled with a 12″ ep which will contain two tracks off the tape. As always the design has been made with love by maneki.

SOSP-001 Audio Cassette Tracklisting:
1.1 One Day You’ll See
1.2 Panopticon
2.1 Tears For A Fallen Empire
2.2 Gone Are The Days

Mastering by Dubplates & Mastering, so you know this is going to be quality!

The idea to release Monuments To Oblivion on audio cassette were two fold. The warmth, hiss, imperfection and the eventual decay of magnetic tape adds another textured layer to each track that no other medium can reproduce. No two tapes will end up sounding exactly the same. Secondly, we purposely took a step back from the current direction of the industry to produce a product that is, in these days, unique and less immediate than a digital format. It will take a little more effort to hear this ep, but it will be well worth it when you do.

Southern Outpost Special Projects was setup to release quality music from all genres in special formats. All releases will be produced in limited editions and will not be available in digital formats to ensure that these will remain unique and distinct.

Once again, don’t sleep on this, only 100 audio cassettes are available exclusively from Clone.

We have started a little side project for Southern Outpost aptly called Southern Outpost Special Projects. SOSP was setup to release great music, in limited editions, from all genres in non standard formats, no digital.. we are going old school with this stuff!

Our first release will be SOSP-001″Monuments To Oblivion” by San Francisco native bvdub who has released for such labels as Night Drive, 2600, Styrax, Millions Of Moments and his own Quietus label. If you know his music, you’ll know that this release is going to be deeep!

I’m not giving away too much right now, so check back in a few days for more information about this release!

We tried to go into retirement, but it just wasn’t working out for us, plus there is always so much good music needing to be released. Critical Phaze will be released as a limited edition 10″ record. The track has been sitting around for sometime and made a brief appearance on our Myspace page, but it was time for it to be committed to vinyl.

Critical Phaze was produced by The Sentinel and new SO member Sol37. If you like your electro dark and scientific, you won’t want to miss this release. Oh, btw… There is one more reason why you won’t want to miss this. Our good friends from holland, Syncom Data will be remixing the track for the B side. Prepare your speakers for some low end punishment!

As you can see the SO site has been given a much needed update. This upgrade will make adding news/info much easier and will allow comments and discussion from you.

There is still a little bit of tweaking to be done, so you might experience a few more changes over the next few weeks… hold tight.

Enjoy.
