"we also have sound houses, where we practice and demonstrate all sounds and their generations. we have harmonies which you have not, of quarter-sounds and lesser slides of sounds. diverse instruments of music likewise to you unknown, some sweeter than any you have; with bells and rings that are dainty and sweet. we represent small sounds as great and deep, likewise great sounds extenuate and sharp; we make diverse tremblings and warblings of sounds, which in their original are entire. we represent and imitate all articulate sounds and letters, and the voices and notes of beast and birds. we have ...

What you know about Marsha Raven, Eastern Gang, Z-Factor, and Section 25? Probably nothing. You are not alone. My goals for a great mix are pretty simple: if you have original selections and funky sensibilities, I am easily sold. The 56 mix, the latest installment of the Passion of the Weiss Mix Series, succeeds on… Continue reading »

Reggaeton star Daddy Yankee has signed on with Section 8 to create a signature line of headphones, according to a spokesperson for the artist.

wololo Wrote: Last week, the shock of a Day1 exploit on the Playstation Vita generated lots of buzz, discussions, and other various related events (Kim Jong Il couldn’t take it anymore and decided that living in a world where consoles get hacked on the day of their release was not worth it) Now, as I said before, don’t get your hopes too high, as this is not really a Vita exploit rather than a PSP exploit within the sandboxed emulator. That being said, in the current state of our knowledge, there is strong hope that this could lead ...

Received some more new music in my inbox this week and this time it was in the form of a music video. Kapowski is an Oakland based pop quartet that originally started off by making home recordings a few years back. Per their press release: "“Section 8” features stuttering drums, a spry bass line, a scratchy organ and a mesmeric piano line that sets the foundation for Jesse Rimler’s (lead vocals) wistful lyrics." The video itself, as described by the directors of the video the Perez Brothers , is a “Melancholy homage to Woody Allen’s Sleeper.” I liked it ...

Tony Wilson's Factory label is rightly celebrated as one of the cornerstones of post-punk, but its contributions to dance-music culture are less frequently recognized. The crate-diggers at Strut aim to rectify that with their latest compilation, Factory Dance , a compendium of groove-oriented tracks from Factory acts like Section 25, Quando Quango, Blurt, and Durutti Column. Reflecting the trans-Atlantic exchange between the Hacienda and New York's fledgling house-music scene, even John "Jellybean" Benitez gets into the act, with a freestyle-flavored remix of 52nd Street's "Cool As Ice." Check out the full compilation on Beatport here . Watch this video ...

Metal Blade 2011 I keep coming back to Whitechapel hoping there will be something about them that will click for me. This is a five track EP with one new track, a cover and some re-mixes. They open with the new song Section 8. It's typical for Whitechapel in that it's loud, simple and fairly routine. I have always wondered how a band this loud could be so dull, but they always fall into that trap. This song is a little better than others, but after two and a half minutes I've had enough of their one ...

The band plays on.

Section 8 is based in the States, has recently released the gnarly ‘Future Darkness’ ep and specialises in the heavier end of the spectrum shall we say. We spoke to label boss Michael about all that, the use of the term ‘dubstep’ and running a label. DB: Hi Michael. I really enjoyed the Future Darkness ep (see below), it’s varied. So what’s your main love...

The trick of staying faithful to tradition while adjusting for the future proves to be a pretty effortless maneuver for Section 8 Recordings . As label representative Michael Ramirez shows us, working with the darkest and hardest bits of drum 'n' bass and making room for its equal counterparts in the dubstep realm is just good design. The imprint formed from the trappings of Ramirez's work on the online radio location DnBRadio.com and has come to nourish an otherwise unappeasable league of listeners. As serious as Mike is about music, getting a serious answer from him proved to be ...
