Dear Droners, we hope you are all safe and sound, here's the update for DECEMBER 2021 - 6th and last "Newsflash" this year !

LABEL NEWS: OUT NOW! : > V.A. - Drone-Mind // Mind-Drone Vol. 8 LP [lim. 400]
finally the new DRONE-MIND compilation with an exquisite selection of experimental / "advanced" drone highlights: AUME (U.S.A.), KAZUYA ISHIGAMI (Japan), HIROSHIMABEND (Austria), and BALDRUIN (Germany); cover-art by puppy38, using two paintings by British artist PETE GREENING; edition of 400 copies on TURQUOISE coloured VINYL. Mastering : PETER ANDERSSON. "Tatsaechlich aber kann Drone sehr unterschiedliches bedeuten und in sehr unterschiedlicher Musik eine Rolle spielen – eine Rolle, die keineswegs an Bedeutung einbuesst, wenn sie ein Aspekt unter mehreren ist. Drone kann den Aufbau einer Musik gestalten, ihre Materialitaet praegen, eine Musik hypnotischer machen und ihr Rueckgrad verleihen, und immer besteht eine starke Wechselbeziehung zwischen dem Droehnen und dem suchenden, rezipierenden und interpretierenden Geist. Dies unter der Formel “Drone-Mind // Mind-Drone” zu vereinen, ist auch beim achten Teil ein starkes Argument gegen alle, die behaupten, Drone haette sich ueber die Jahre totgedroehnt." [African Paper]
