BUY HIGHLANDS DIGITALLY AT:



"It is one of the finer moments of 2008 and goes far to create its own space, where electronica kisses folk and soul in a new urban Americana."
- All Music

"... a tone that recalls a subdued Ben Harper, Aaron spins husky, soulful tales of love and life over sparsely built, echoing soundscapes, chilled reggae rhythms and pulsing, synthesized, moulded hip-hop beats."
-Exclaim! Canada

Highlands is an album of bittersweet cosmic campfire electronics and melancholic dreams. Song-writer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, Damon Aaron, pens love songs and personal anecdotes that float over spacey hip hop beats and polished bass-lines. He cuts and pastes-in swirling strings and acoustic guitars that decorate his minimal sound-scapes and cast light on traditional folk and songwriting roots.

BUY L.A. INSTRUMENTAL DIGITALLY AT:



James Hardway works most often with cool textures cutting his own path on a genre-defying jazz funk excursion that echoes the punk-soul of James Blood Ulmer, evokes the spirit of Fela Kuti's epic jams and is infused with a Cali bounce.

BUY EYES AND EARS DIGITALLY AT:



This digital-only single features Ohmega Watts teaming up with Lex Records recording artist Jneiro Jarel (Shape Of Broad Minds) and see’s their “Eyes and Ears” collab get an exclusive remix by Clutchy Hopkins. Also included is an instrumental version of the mix, and a 10+ minute live performance with Ohmega Watts and DJ Bombay ripping things up for WUAG in North Carolina.

The release of this digi-single is timed with the release of a video for “Eyes and Ears” which features Watts in back to school mode!

Clutchy Hopkins completely switches up the track to his style – it’s laid back but nasty, with live keys and a koto adding a nice twist to the original vibe. The instrumental sounds like pure Clutchy! On the live medley Watts rapidly makes his way though many tracks from his back catalog, assisted by the manic turntablism of DJ Bombay. This improvised live session was recorded on the spot at WUAG radio in North Carolina.

For Fall 2008 we have 17 new designs available. Remembering the first time they heard their favorite band, were hit by a dirty bass line, or just couldn’t get that song out of their heads, the designers came through with a barrage of personal shouts to the gift of music. And speaking of gifts, all of our tees now include a hangtag with a download code redeemable at iTunes for 5 FREE TRACKS from our favorite albums and exclusives from forthcoming releases!

In addition to new designs our shirts have also been upgraded. Our Men’s blanks are 32/1 100% Cotton - which is technical-talk for the shirts being a few shades softer. And while we’ve upped the comfort level the Men’s shirts remains a slim-cut while the Women’s are always form flattering. Fall colors are brightened with splashes of bright accents and bold hues that break up the earthy tones.

While the majority of the line was designed in-house (by Ashkahn and Enrique), other contributors include Tishon, Matthew Langille, Derek Duder and Kelly D. Williams. With a combined resume that includes designs for companies as disparate as Vans and Marc Jacobs their sonic salutes are sure to keep you moving to the rhythm of life.

BUY THE DIVE EP DIGITALLY AT:



As we launch the beautiful video for “All The Shallow Deep” Blank Blue drop an EP that includes brand new mixes and music, including folked-out versions of “Sonic What!?” and “Up”, a Flying Lotus remix of “Blank Blue” (in both vocal and instrumental formats) and an exclusive unreleased tune.

The video for “All The Shallow Deep” is influenced by psychedelic classics like Easy Rider and Nicholas Roeg's The Man Who Fell to Earth and was put together by noted video producer Dean Fernando. It was shot on locations in Long Beach and Palm Springs and is enhanced by visual art by Kime Buzzelli.

The Dive EP is available in strictly limited vinyl and as a digital download. The album versions of “Sonic What?!” and “Up” have been stripped down and had new life injected into them by way of breezy acoustic guitars, vibes and strings. Elvin Estella and Niki Randa (collectively known as Blank Blue) were so happy with these re-workings that they see this sound as theirs for future recordings. Flying Lotus, on the other end of the sonic spectrum, takes the album version of “Blank Blue” and drags it through cosmic grit and dirt, before spitting out an extra-terrestrial banger. “Finer Grains” is an instrumental exclusive made just for this EP. “All The Shallow Deep” will be available only on the digital-version of this EP.

BUY UNDER THE SUN DIGITALLY AT:

a

Under the Sun is a documentary film made by filmmaker Cyrus Sutton and West Coast Record and clothing label Ubiquity Records.

The film features an original soundtrack by Ubiquity Recording artist Shawn Lee and alongside Australian acts Band of Frequencies (a collective of musicians hailing from Byron Bay), Low Pressure Sound System and Afro Dizzi Act. On this double disc, Ubiquity multi-instrumentalist, Lee turns out a sunny, surf inspired mix of tracks that will make you want to pack up that board and head to the beach, or at least close your eyes and dream about it. Lee’s signature funky breaks and beats are backed by twangy guitars and harmonicas creating a hazy breeze of blissful tunes.

On the second disc are three Australian bands with close ties to the surf community. Afro Dizzi Act play rootsy Afro-beat tinged jams and have built a reputation as being one of the most flexible and adventurous acts in Australia. Their track 'The Drop Off' is inspired by the euphoria of elevated consciousness and spiritual inner strength that follows after taking off on a big wave while surfing, or launching into an outer reef while snorkeling. Low Pressure Sound System is a collective of musicians who record soundtracks and perform live jams, and much of their material on this record is based on two weeks of recording non-stop spontaneous tracks. Their “Spoonbender” tune is named after eccentric surf icon and creator of the flexible spoon surf craft George Greenough. Band Of Frequencies is a side project featuring members of Afro Dizzi Act, and noted surfer Dave Rastovich, delving into heavier guitar sounds blending psychedelia, roots, rock and soul.

BUY ON A CLOUD DIGITALLY AT:



The first single from the upcoming PPP album features new vocalist Karma Stewart on an infectious horn-driven Motown-flavored joint called "On a Cloud." The super-soulful gospel-tinged mix is an energetic starting point that represents the new and bigger sound of PPP. As a bonus, that track is remixed by San Francisco Bay Area producer Trackademicks, a member of the Honor Roll production crew who have been moving heads and dance floors with mixes and music for the likes of J*Davey, Phonte, and Josie Stingray that blur the lines between hip hop, soul, electro and techno. On the flip is “Angel,” featuring vocalist Coultrain, that also draws on PPPs Detroit roots, but this time it’s the cosmic-rock of Funkadelic that provides inspiration.
