And then there’s Justin Wright, aka Expo Seventy. We’ve been covering the man’s career for so long; pretty much ever since this blog started (almost 5 years ago, holy shit). It’s inconceivable that his prolific release schedule continues to yield such quality sounds. Yet it does. Pick up the newest (on 180 gram vinyl… I [...]

Erik from Immune has repressed two out-of-print Expo 70 tapes and released them back into the wild. Both Journey Through Astral Projection and Where Does Your Mind Go? were recorded in the same sessions, with Justin Wright on guitar/electronics and featuring Matt Hill (aka Umberto) on the assist. Both sessions have been pressed onto new [...]

Justin Wright’s sold-out album on Blackest Rainbow, now available on cassette along with the Hovering Resonance EP from Sound of Cobra (also sold out). It’s all jammed onto one handy, portable cassette so you can just zone the fuck out in your 2001 Honda Accord whenever you feel the need (please not during rush hour, [...]

The best thing about our favorite drone artists is that they are so damn prolific. Not that Expo 70 fits squarely into the drone category; Justin’s psychedelic riffs carry enough weight to drop the bottom out of any genre bag they’re placed in. Case in point: Beguiled Entropy, an LPs worth of transcendent sounds collected [...]

One of the finest Record Store Day releases… that didn’t quite release in time for Record Store Day. This four-way heavy-weight split on Immune is the stuff droney dreams are made from, featuring tunes from Pulse Emitter, Date Palms, Expo 70 and Faceplant. This is limited to 1000 pieces, mastered and cut at D&M and [...]

New realms of sonic immersion from KC’s very own beloved son Justin Wright. The space rock vibes are in full force – repetition and trance driven by hypnotic drones. This project is so good. One-sided 12″ now available from exposeventy.com – limited to 200 copies in silkscreened covers, these are sold out from the label and won’t last [...]

It’s been an amazing year for Justin Wright. So many quality releases and re-issues for his Expo ’70 project, plus a nonstop stream of amazing underground releases on the Sonic Meditations label. 2012 is looking even better. Here’s Justin’s top ten from 2011: Peaking Lights “936″ Serpent Venom “Carnal Altar” The Wounded Kings “In The [...]

Immune, quite simply one of the best labels in the world, is taking preorders for two new cassettes by Expo 70. The first is a new pressing of the ever-popular “Where Does Your Mind Go?” (sold out two vinyl pressings now), the second is “Journey Through Astral Projection”, a brand new set of recordings from [...]

Seems like we are posting about a new release from Justin Wright every week, this project is incredibly prolific lately. Mostly because he has taken it upon himself to repress his entire back catalogue via Sonic Meditations, which is awesome. But this time it’s just a great pairing between one of our favorite drone artists [...]

Justin Wright is re-issuing this Sloow Tapes edition from 2009 on vinyl (and cassette, if you’d rather). We’ve gushed on this project quite a bit in these pages, and it’s not just because Justin shares a city with one of our writers. Expo 70 is at the top of his game, untouchable within this particular [...]
