TLV036 – Seams – Nightcycles + rmxs
It’s with pleasure that we’re able to announce the release of TLV036: Seams – Nightcycles + RMXS, on 26th April 2010. Issued as a 12″ white label, containing the near-8 minute original track “Nightcycles” and four accompanying remixes, it’s hand-printed and limited to just 100 copies. If you pre-order through our site, we’ll email you a code to download the songs as MP3s. As with the Becoming Real 12″, the short run means these will not be available for long.
Coinciding with the record release, Seams will be going out on tour with Gold Panda (he of BBC Sound 2010 and our 4th birthday party fame) in April, the dates listed below. For those unaware of their work, I’ve also provided some biog and links for the remixers, so you can acquaint yourself with their excellent jams.

“Glasgow based Dam Mantle is as much Machine as it is Animal. It often finds itself stuck in a loop, where various points in time and various cultures meet and refract each other. This forms a regurgitation of ‘now’.”
Shells is from Bath and involves someone by the name of Khalid Rafique. This is all the information I have.
“Becoming Real is half human, half vampire, one whole something else. Becoming Real is ghost step, on the haunted dancefloor, where footsteps remind him, baby, of you. Becoming Real is always on his way. Becoming Real is never quite there.”
“d’Eon is a producer and singer. He started recording his experiments with keyboards and sequencing onto cassette starting at the age of four. After spending his early childhood learning theory, harmony and counterpoint, d’Eon later quit academic music to learn traditional Iranian, Arabic, Turkish and Central Asian music. He spent some months in a Tibetan monastery in the Himalayas while studying the Tibetan lute. He now lives in Montreal and makes electronic dance music.”
