Artist:	FUNCKARMA
Title:	Dubstoned EP3
Label:	EAT CONCRETE (NETHERLANDS)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	EAT 015EP

Dubstoned EP3 is the long overdue follow-up in a series of dubstep-based releases by Funckarma, released on limited edition vinyl. Funckarma arranges light melodic tones with bass-heavy beats on this 4-track EP. The mid-tempo rhythms and sounds contrast beautifully with the crushing beats and clear production, typical of Funckarma's style. Dubstoned EP3 brings you more of Funckarma's unique sonic vision of breakbeat and dubstep styles.

Artist:	AARDVARCK
Title:	Choice
Label:	EAT CONCRETE (NETHERLANDS)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	EAT 018CD

Into his 25th year as a DJ, Dutch producer Aardvarck comes with his second full-length album for Eat Concrete Records -- much in the vein of his Bloom series, but in an album context with songs and lush inter-noodley bits. With Choice, Aardvarck has created one of his finest selections to date. Offering 22 tracks that go in all different directions, Aardvarck has become known for bass-heavy dub, lush soundscapes, broken beats and soul vocals. The album is introduced by Gaslamp Killer, kicks off with the beautiful "Lucky Shot," featuring female vocals by Alexandra, and continues with some cinematic and hypnotizing ambient-esque pieces before the bass kicks in with "Breaking Bad." From then onward, you are treated with songs reminiscent of some of the recent Bloom releases, displaying a taste for heavy bass, beats and dub samples. Yet Choice has more to offer than DJ-food alone; the album flows like a mix and keeps a light and fresh vibe along the way with lots of sketches and interludes. Aardvarck also offers some definite classics with "Heal" and "Find The Cow..Almost," featuring guest vocals on both tracks. Timeless.

Artist:	FUNCKEN, ROEL
Title:	Daze Flextone EP
Label:	EAT CONCRETE (NETHERLANDS)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	EAT 020EP

Roel Funcken, one-half of Dutch electronica duo Funckarma, delivers the Daze Flextone EP, his solo debut for Eat Concrete Records. These four tracks highlight the latest take on his dubstep-fused electronica experiments. The result is energetic, original and extremely heavy. Three of these tracks were previously released on CD only thru Berlin's Ad Noiseam. Also included is a Roel Funcken remix of a track by Dutchman Krampfhaft.

Artist:	ENEMY EARTH
Title:	Bardo
Label:	EAT CONCRETE (NETHERLANDS)
Format:	LP
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	EAT 021LP

After the sold-out success of their debut album, Enemy Earth returns to Eat Concrete with Bardo, their second full-length release for the label. This album continues where the previous Interstellar Commute ended, taking their psychedelic sound to a much deeper and emotive level by using live piano, guitar and bass with layers of effects and lo-fi sampling. It offers eight songs with recurring themes and instruments, all mixed into two big sessions, each filling one side of the LP. The result is very obscure yet beautiful and enigmatic, sounding like a '70s psych-rock/ambient jam session where Bibio, Fripp and Eno all play along to Buddhist chants and drums. Bardo is a journey into the unknown, or, as the artists themselves describe: "for a state of mind or transition in or from one's life." This is the kind of record you won't find very often and with their mind-bending and authentic sound, Enemy Earth establishes themselves as a favorite in the ever-growing Eat Concrete roster. Limited edition vinyl release with inlay.

Artist:	CAURAL
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.

Artist:	BOY KING ISLANDS
Title:	Fall
Label:	EAT CONCRETE (NETHERLANDS)
Format:	LP
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	EAT 024LP

Ethereal debut indie album with acoustic rock as well as fat electronics on this colored vinyl LP from Eat Concrete. Friends and musical collaborators for nearly 20 years, Zachary Mastoon (better known as Caural) and Jason Hunt saw the first hints of Boy King Islands emerge in the summer of 1995. Outside in a park together at twilight, their improvisation unfolded as the basis for "Feeling Nowhere" -- an emotive and melancholy progression, magically unforgotten years later. Named after a painting by outsider artist Henry Darger, the duo of Boy King Islands was resurrected in the winter of 2002 when -- then roommates -- they stretched microphone chords around doors and through the thin walls of their north side Chicago apartment to capture the beginnings of what would become their debut: buzzing Fender guitars with the gnarl of tube distortion; the tines of a Rhodes or the warm hum of a Wurlitzer; an mbira plucked through a wah pedal or a wooden box with broken glass and beads shook as percussion; and Mastoon's whispery and always doubled vocals swimming in a wash of crashing cymbals. Mastoon returned to NYC that next year but, when not on tour or working on releases as Caural, he and Jason sent each other ideas to be fleshed out in infrequent studio sessions deftly engineered by their friend Keith Kreuser. Years later, the resulting collection of fuzzy and swirling shoegaze-influenced pop music spanning nearly 8 years was mixed in Chicago where the two began: with nostalgic echoes but eyes gazing forward. Listen to it loudly. On chlorine-colored vinyl.

Artist:	AARDVARCK
Title:	Anti Concept
Label:	EAT CONCRETE (NETHERLANDS)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	EAT 026CD

Aardvarck returns with his third full-length album for Eat Concrete Records. Anti Concept showcases a taste for deep ambient and minimalist soundscapes, dub, Detroit techno and bass-heavy beats, mixed into a perfect flow. As the title suggests, Anti Concept leaves aside musical genres and focuses on atmosphere rather than style. Aardvarck carefully and patiently builds his own world of sound, adding layers and complexity with each track, sampling favorite artists such as Jon Hassel, Fennesz, Talk Talk and the odd dub 45 along the way. These 27 tracks bring mostly new material but also contain some of his earlier works on previous Eat Concrete and Bloom releases, highlighting some of his most impressive output.

Artist:	LUMISOKEA
Title:	Automatons
Label:	EAT CONCRETE (NETHERLANDS)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	EAT 027EP

Lumisokea present a 12" taster of their full album Automatons. The Belgian/Italian duo formed by Koenraad Ecker and Andrea Taeggi bring forward refined microworlds of exciting electronica and acoustics, building sonic landscapes that are minimalistic yet highly rich in texture. They have added a range of acoustics to their laptops and electronic hardware, including prepared piano, harmonium and live percussion, spanning ambient to noise and prepared piano to bass-heavy beats (at times reminding of Machinefabriek, Autechre or Fennesz). Includes a free download code of the full album.

Artist:	BACONHEAD
Title:	Astro Sludge EP
Label:	EAT CONCRETE (NETHERLANDS)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	EAT 028EP

After their very well received Soap EP (getting support from Slugabed, Si Begg and Kid 606), UK-based duo Baconhead teamed up with eclectic Dutch label Eat Concrete for a series of releases showcasing their sonic agenda. Inspired heavily by psychedelia, videogames and experimental hip-hop, Baconhead have crafted an EP that offers a wealth of ideas and styles, using funk, sludge-rock and dubstep as main ingredients. Featuring a guest appearance from Mindbender and packaged in ultra-sexy artwork.
