Title:	Stars On My Ceiling
Label:	CHOCOLATE INDUSTRIES
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	CHLT 025 CD

"Caural's musical journey began in the summer of 1984 with a Fisher-Price cassette recorder bumping the sounds of Thomas Dolby and the Beat Street soundtrack: the perfect backdrop for long summer days of skateboarding and break dancing. Now wrapped in nostalgia and headphones,the 24 year-old multi-instrumentalist and super human hailing from the city of wind takes you on his sophomore outing, once again delivering his unique blend of influences. The result is a potent dose of neck-snapping abstract soundscapes rooted in Hip Hop and drenched in the atmosphere of everyday life. With upcoming compilation appearances, remix work and tour plans, Caural is currently in the studio finishing up his double EP slated for the fall, featuring new instrumentals, cutting edge lyricists, and a remix by Savath and Savalas. Until then, Stars On My Ceiling gives you a look at the sky through Caural's eyes."

"Following the Paint EP & his debut full-length for Chocolate Industries, Stars On My Ceiling, Zachary Mastoon aka Caural brings you the third installment in the series: the Blurred July EP. Inspired by the events of his bizarre summer month and Haruki Murakami's novel The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Caural comes correct with two brand new instrumentals and a collaboration with the up & coming Chicago emcee Diverse. Coupled with a hauntingly beautiful remix by Savath & Savalas (aka Prefuse-73) and UK graf artist Kid Acne's imagery bringing it all together, Blurred July is an embarkation on an exciting era for this Chicago artist.

Title:	Die Before You Die
Label:	EAT CONCRETE (NETHERLANDS)
Format:	10"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	EAT 023EP

This limited edition 10" is pressed on yellow vinyl with hand-printed artwork. Zachary Mastoon aka Caural has released beat-based music on labels such as Chocolate Industries, Plug Research, and more. He eventually bid adieu to the electronic format with the swan-song, "Sorry, Underground Hip Hop Happened Ten Years Ago (For Regan)." Constructed entirely out of vocal samples of the word "yo" and the incidental sounds accompanying them, this track is a fragmented journey through some of Mastoon's favorite moments in hip-hop.
