Five New Tapes on Sweat Lodge Guru

The fourth batch of tapes from Sweat Lodge Guru, our in-house label, has just became available.  We couldn’t possibly be happier with these, the quality of music coming in just keeps getting higher and higher.  This batch represents our deepest forays into electronica/wonk, plus our biggest tape release yet.  A few things have also been [...]

Expo ’70 “Sonic Messenger” 2xLP Preorder

Beta-Lactum Ring has a preorder up for one of the best drone albums of the past year, Expo ’70′s Sonic Messenger.  This album is more mature and professional than anything he’s done before, it’s a seriously stunning piece of work.  It’s a deep, psychedelic journey of the highest caliber.  The label is giving it the [...]

Expo 70 “Resurrection (Heavy Meditation)” CS

Apparently this “tape trend” shows no signs of stopping or even slowing down anytime soon. As one of our readers commented: it’s a cheap way to discover new music that you just won’t find anywhere else. Buying yourself a reliable tape deck opens you up to a whole new world of blown-out, underground sound. But [...]

Expo 70 “The Vanishing World Within” and Plante “Shroud of Winter / Fripping Awesome” Tapes

Few things get us more excited than new releases from Kansas City’s Sonic Meditations label, or really anything to do with the Kansas City experimental/drone scene (trust us, it’s surprisingly great).  These two new tape releases are wonderful examples of what makes the region great.  Expo 70′s new tape on Solid Melts, titled “The Vanishing [...]

Expo 70 “Tarot Reading/Solar Drifting” 7″

Kansas City’s own Expo 70 lets loose, low and slow on the 7″ vinyl format. If you can only handle your drone a few minutes at a time, this is for you. You can even play it at 33 or 45 rpm since it is a “variable speed” recording. This can be purchased for $7 [...]
