Lush Q Trax 3 + 3.1

I swear, if nostalgia was a topical anesthetic, it would be called Foamek. This guy stuns me again with his half of our third split together, which could quite possibly be his finest work to date. Incredibly bouncy, warm and beautiful ambient techno on his end, reminiscent of some of my favorite records from the 90's in that vein. Think Voodoo Child's "The End Of Everything" or Twin's "SAW 85-92" and you're close. My half is a bit more updated, with more of the lively yet spacious listening techno I've done on earlier Lush Q releases. For those of you who bought the first two volumes, I promise you volume three will NOT disappoint. Limited edition of only FIFTY copies, half of which are already GONE!

Milieu - Bent Appletrees 5 & 6!

Available now for download in the digital shop are the fifth and sixth installments to the ever-eclectic Bent Appletrees series. Containing forgotten tracks from 2004-2008, these records are chock full of outtakes, demos, live and alternate versions. For those of you wanting more stuff from the earlier Milieu days (Night Currents, Our Blue Rainbow) these two volumes are ripe with material from those sessions especially. Tracks like "Treebark Honey" and "Red Balloons Over A Blue Shore" are real gems that I'm almost mad at myself for leaving off of proper albums!

R.I.P. EED - 2004-2009

The time has come to end the Expanding Electronic Diversity label that I've helped founder & friend David Tagg maintain since late 2006. The label started five years ago out of David's parallel interests in music and modern graphic design, and we've decided that its time has come to an end. Many of you have supported our fine label through the years and are no doubt familiar with the output and image that EED retained. I can assure you that both David and myself will continue to bring you the same level of artistic and musical expression through Install, Second Sun Recordings and of course Milieu Music, for what we hope will be years to come. David had some closing words on the subject:

"After 5 years, countless hours of hard work and dedication I have decided to cease all operations at Expanding Electric Diversity and dissolve the name into the ether. It has been an amazing ride, one that I would not trade for anything. I have met so many amazing people and created friendships that will last a lifetime. To the fans. Thank you for being so supportive. You have been there every step of the way for every release, always gushing with excitement and support. I have always strived to bring you a product that you were proud to present and give a home on your record shelves. I thank you for your steadfast dedication and honor.

It is important to me that I thank in specific my friend Brian Grainger. He always respected what I was doing and really made EED what it is today. Brian and I's successful partnership continues at both INSTALL and SSR. We will continue to bring you only the best experimental music and design."

With that said, don't be sad! Onward! There's simply too much awesome new stuff that David and I have in store for Install and SSR. This isn't so much an ending as it is a continuation into the second phase.

***ALL REMAINING EED STOCK HAS BEEN LISTED FOR SALE AT MILIEU MUSIC***

That's right. Everything we have left is now up at Milieu Music, and when those are gone, they're gone forever. Thankfully, for sake of simplicity, all we have left are about 30 copies of the SEAS 12" LP and about 40 copies of the EED's Summer Vacation compilation disc. For those unfamiliar with these items, I strongly urge you to check them out! The compilation is the perfect summer companion, with loads of beats and melodies in crisp high-fidelity. The 12" LP is our first ever vinyl pressing and contains some of the deepest minimal dub-techno you'll ever feast your ears on!
