I finally have a green light and a carte blanche for three more ass-crack stage-hacks in Havenkwartier Deventer in 2008. So beware! The first will take place on the 29th of August and coinsides with the opening of an exhibition by Jeroen Diepenmaat and Babet Olde Weghuis. More info on this very soon!
While I was on holiday, the first edition of Piknik just ‘happened’ in Havenkwartier Deventer. And once I got back… Bam! the second Piknik was already there. Piknik is a new series of (outdoor) dance events. These first two were co-hosted by DDS. I’m so warming up for more Piknik’s, I can hardly wait. Check out www.welovepiknik.com for more!
Oh, and I made some pictures while I was there.
So far the redesign of the esc.rec. website resulted in some new features in the far right column.
A popup Last.fm radio player, that plays music by esc.rec. artists. This doesn’t mean that all the music you hear in this player is released through esc.rec. though. Many esc.rec. artists also release their music through other labels. That music also pops up in this player, if it’s available on Last.fm. I’m going to make (almost) all of the esc.rec. releases available for the Last.fm radio player soon, so you can theoretically listen to the entire catalogue in this player. Plus you get to hear some of the other great releases out there by the same artists!
A Tipit Jar. This is a feature that makes it possible to tip small (or large) amounts of money to esc.rec. Just because you might want to show your appreciation of all the high quality music you can download here for free (and want it to continue), or want to help me out with the hosting bill… Or perhaps you feel I should organize more ass-crack stage-hacks and want to stimulate me to make that happen. Or maybe you just think I’m a nice guy and deserve something extra… who knows.
Other new features I’m currently working on are:
- A more comprehensible overview of esc.rec. releases. Now it’s just catalogue numbers. A decent overview should include artists, titles, media and artworkpictures at least.
- A (random or recent) esc.rec. related photo from Flickr near the ‘introduction section’.
More suggestions for improvement are welcome!
Esc.rec. is a record label and platform for adventurous and experimental music.
Add all your esc.rec. related photo's to this Flickr group to make them show up here.
