#igloomag #reviews @portrhombus

"The Consumers Research and Development Label is clearly not trying to be one thing, and that’s the most encouraging part of this reintroduction. A techno veteran finally putting out his own record after twenty years of platforming everyone else, sitting right next to a hip-hop travelogue built out of literal years of instability and constant movement, that’s a genuinely odd pairing on paper, and it works precisely because neither release is compromising to fit next to the other." by @consumersresearchanddevelopmen

“New music” OUT NOW….

(PEEP MY IG LIVE SHORTLY)

From the RADIUS vault produced between 2006-2008, initially was a promo
To get signed + work with labels and emcees,I admired and respected.
If you weren’t a label I mailed this to, you were in my immediate circle & received
A CD copy, with a cover, with four in a square.

This version was the initial copy, to be pressed on wax via @consumersresearchanddevelopmen , whom I partnered with for “Alive & Thriving” released just two months ago (get the last copies before it’s too late)

Fast forward to last month, I’m chilling, set to create new music, in Basque Country France, (Biarritz), while on this tour, (peace from Berlin),

I was building with my fellow @etcmedia family @jostereo whom I initially met at the great cultural creative portal ; Rodan (Rip) @rodanwickerpark in 2009, where he approached me with a French accent startling me, saying “Radius” 👀, and I’m like, how does someone in Paris (he was visiting from), know about I or my music?!

Anyway that became my brother, we vibed on some music, and I sorted him a copy, and about somewhere between 7-8 years later, i lost this file and the original beats without the movie dialogue throughout it, which is how it’s presented here as a promo, which was inspired by J Dilla’s “The Shining”:advanced copy, in 2006, that utilized the movie’s dialogue throughout it, to prevent bootlegging. That version was amazing, and if you never heard it, I suggest looking for it.

I helped establish @stonesthrow street team Chicago chapter, working With @havanajiddo and later @djseandoe , the first campaign was for Donuts and Further Adventures of lord Quas, before the residency’s at Sonotheque, shouts to Joe Bryl , but that’s all a whole other @ted (I’m ready please hit me), or episode of @flynerdgroup (stay tuned for the first, they the dopest cats )

Sooooo much depth and layers to this. Il leave it this for now, @jostereo had this album as well as the original beats , and it’s shy of 20 years when we connected, he mastered this project and also gave me the OG BEATS!!!! (Sup emcees!)

Sorry but this one here’s pure 🔥!!! A tribute to “Style Wars” & “Beat Street” our labels & @radiusetc all grew up on a steady diet of both.

This here via the @chicago L and @uptown_rockers_chi 🔥🔥🔥with a special collaboration between @radiusetc capturing the footage of his travels and breakdance crew, and sop founder @chriseichenseer who grew up as a suburban b-boy (yes, hard to believe) editing and styling this one out, this is true love and lifelong heart by all.

“Goldenlocks” the third & final single from the new @radiusetc LP “Alive & Thriving”. Full video link in bio. Vinyl too.

These dancers! Tremendous THANK YOU for your heart & soul. You all made this what it is !!!! 🖤🖤🖤

Boxed in the office and for some reason … taped up in the garage 🤷‍♂️

Get in on the love of this music. Orders keep coming in. I’ll keep boxing them and staying up all night making music videos.

The labor of love is shared by everyone making this happen. Shout out to @tarah.lim for putting together PLAY events and @radiusetc for his undying devotion to music and community making, @drmistich for working so so hard to help these releases get out and be supported correctly, @rev_robertsinewave for developing and working with how the records come together, all the musicians making such incredible music with us and becoming such close friends and family, and to everyone who is tuning in 🙏🙏🙏. This record label is 100% a family affair in the best way possible 🤗

Come hang out in our living room and join the party: our monthly PLAY nights at @publicworksgallery are such a good hang and so inspiring. People are making new friends and discovering new sounds. And that’s exactly the point.
