Oddity Radio ASIP Label Profile + Inspirations mix

Curated by Alexis Le-Tan and featuring a host of brilliant, inspirational labels, it’s an honor to be invited to be a part of the growing Oddity Radio collective.

The ASIP label profile is now live on the site, including a playlist of tracks from the label so far, which can be added to your listening rotation on the station, a short interview, and an Inspirations mix by yours truly (cue biggest picture of me on the internet).

Oddity asks each label contributor to submit an inspirations mix, and it felt like an extremely daunting task at first. Capturing my inspirations in one mix would send me in circles, and I needed a more specific angle (you know I love a constraint when it comes to mixes!) So instead of looking far and wide or deep into my record collection, I looked to the many artists who have defined ASIP over the years and made it what it is today. They appear in the mix under different guises, collaborations, or with earlier releases before they were on ASIP.

Somehow, it manages to capture the sound of the label and is probably one of my favorite mixes I’ve put together in a while… maybe because of the nostalgia - it reminded me of times many years ago, discovering some of these artists for the first time a long time ago.

Head over to Oddity Radio to listen to the playlist and the Inspirations mix.

Big thanks to Oddity Radio for spreading the love and curating such a great platform, please check it out and the many other great labels featured!

2020 ASIP Label Showcase (Mixed Edition + CD)

After our successful 2019 edition, our annual label retrospective has now evolved in tradition to include a mixed edition available on CD (and of course digital).

Featuring one track from each of our 2020 releases, the digital download is now available alongside the CD, with the latter featuring a few additional tracks that aren’t available individually.

The artwork is always a personal choice for this compilation - and reflects my year in some way or another. This time, it features screen-grabs from a film that not only visually felt relevant, but captured the notion of everyone being inside - wishing to be somewhere else. I won’t say which film it was incase I get into issues, but lets just say it’s a heart-warming film about a man who did everything he could to escape reality and get in contact with others.

A big thank you to all of the artists for a brilliant year, and to you, for listening and supporting our music.

We also have a limited set of download cards available to purchase with this release - a perfect gift to introduce someone to the label maybe!

Available on Bandcamp.

Video: Damm / Lullaby

Become mesmerized by the official video for the melodic, synthesizer-forward track Lullaby, taken from Joel Mull / Damm’s new album, Nautical Dawn.

Nautical Dawn is available now on 2LP and digital.

Pre-order: Damm (Joel Mull) / Nautical Dawn

Some may be familiar with Joel Mull’s world of electronic music, but only the die-hard may remember his earlier 90's aliases such as 'Damm'.

After years in the studio slowly piecing together the album in between travel and his more regular DJ output, Joel has curated a sublime blend of ambient and electronica styles in his latest album.

Something for everyone at some point no doubt, be it melodic, dubby, chilled out or head-nodding - it's a tough one to pin down as it soundtracks the many colors of the sun and sky at 'Nautical Dawn'.

Pre-order for the Gatefold Deep Transparent Orange 2LP / digital is now available via Bandcamp, with the remaining copies following on Juno & stores worldwide on release day September 27th.
