Hi Friends, little update..

First, we are NOT stopping Lycantrop Records! Not sure where these rumors started. Maybe because I blogged that we move to a new location? Yes, we are moving and the studio may be down for 1 month, but our release schedule will not be affected.

We will have 2 to 3 releases next year. Nelson is almost done compiling HYBRIDES EVOLUTION, which will be 100% collaboration (2 or more projects) tracks. A challenge to compile a good story with such diverse input, but the finished result will deliver a highly concentrated smorgasbord of sound.
Expected Release date: March or April

After that: Lycantrop DJs Iguana and Corious are compiling something nice and hot to go along with the summer sunshine.

For autumn, we have TIGHT SHIP, all tracks custom-produced around one common theme. Since "loose lips sink tight ships", I won't say more about this one so early on, but stay tuned.

ps - We are thrilled to be syncing up with DIST ELECTRONIC for our digital distribution: Distorted Shire is the first release they will manage, release date is 8 December

pps - just a few Lycantrop Records "v 1.0" tshirts left! A perfect holiday gift - see our special package deals: http://www.lycantrop-rec.com/shop.html (click on the TSHIRT symbol)

Distorted Shire release + bonus tracks

Just a quick note to let you know that the Distorted Shire bonus tracks are now in our webshop (you can find the webshop on this blog, and also on our Myspace page, Facebook pages (fan page and main page) as well as on the Lycantrop website: wherever you go, there we are! (As Alan Watts says, "Now, don't be frightened...")
;-)

Distorted Shire bonus tracks:
We are proud to offer you "X" by Dark Elf (DarksHiRe remix) and "Space Race" by Mind Distortion System - both tracks are 152 bpm and you receive download access to each track in both MP3 and FLAC(WAV).

The tracks can be purchased (yes, yes, show your support!!!) but they will be FREE to anyone who purchases the Distorted Shire physical CD (release date 3 July), which we are hand-crafting with LOVE right here in the Lycantrop HQ production facility. I'll get some pics online soon, and explain more....but I can promise you that the quality is retail-level. It has been a big project but we hope that innovation and dedication to the scene are gonna keep us pumping music your way for a long time to come!

If you do visit our website, you might notice that the Artist Profiles are all F#CkED up - long story short, we are getting some great help on our site from Boo Design in Australia, but I'm doing the profiles and pseudo-learning Dreamweaver on the fly. I think I finally know what I am doing, so all profiles should be online by the end of this month...I'll be doing a few each day...currently, Mubali, MDS, Dark Elf and DarksHiRe are online, so you can check them out for fun.

Psycrowdelica

We're making a shop at Psycrowdelica (Irish Coffee...mmmh) - hope see you there!

Spring has sprung!

Over here in the land of Moules and Frites, the birds are cuddled up in pairs, and the tulips in our garden have flowered. Things are growing, maturing. And while our blog may have apppeared lifeless of late, Lycantrop Records is alive and well, about to enter Chapter 2 with the upcoming release of Distorted Shire a "split (MDS and Darkshire) + friends (an all Greek cast!). Mastering by MDS and Dimitri and artwork by Ju...

There is a comment thread going on Forum Isra Trance, if you want to visit, here's the direct link.

On the website front, we'll have artist profiles online within a week or two - most of the artists have already been mentioned on this site, but there are a couple of surprises, too. We are so happy to have these artists with us - it is our mission to support them and help them to touch people wi...we are just channeling all that energy and hoping that our contribution to the vibration is gonna help humanity to get to the next stage - a world where our children can grow without fear and hate, where we are sustainable in our habitat and respectful of every living thing. A place of balance. An evolved world. A spiritual world. Cross your fingers for Spaceship Earth!

On our "Nimbit" webshop, you can also shop directly for Lycantrop digital and physical merchandise - that means MP3 and FLAC (WAV) tracks, as well as CDs and )- coming soon - Tshirts. The shop is also THE PLACE to join our mailing list - we are getting organized and will be using our shop to do things like make exclusive tracks available to the people on our list - so JOIN THE PACK - OWWOOOOOH!

Oh yeah, I should mention that our webshop is also integrated into the Lycantrop Records profiles on MySpace and Facebook , as well as Psyport and here on this blog...so you can join our mailing list from any site and also purchase Lycantrop stuff if you are the purchasing kind of person. ;-)

Rawar was just here and it was a true pleasure to meet him, and I was blown away by his music...if you don't know his stuff or you haven't heard his latest music, I highly recommend a listen! Was a great night at Psychedelic DOA - da Portuguese were really in the house with Krono Psy of ICC and Lycantrop (okay, now it is not a surprise anymore!), Mind Distortion System (kiss!) and Rawar all playing live. I'll get pics online soon and videos...someday. Soon. I hope. ;-)

The DJ Mixcast contest is still happening but technical issues have delayed the "active phase" of listening and voting, so I will reannounce it soon and allow entries until much later than originally planned. Sorry about that and thanks for your patience.

That's all for now. Peace....
