Album Review: R.Garcia’s – “I Used To Write On Walls..”

hairysloth — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:36:51 +0000

R.Garcia’s masterful mega EP, “I Used To Write On Walls & Other New York City Stories”, just got some much deserved positive online press in the form of a brief album review. He was gracious enough to offer this EP up to the w3rld through our humble lil net label here at Hairy Sloth earlier this year, and it just got a pretty solid review from Canadian MP3 Blog – “QRO”. Tis truly awesome to know that HSR, it’s contributing artists, and our collective music is really starting to sprinkle some fertile “seeds” domestically and in foreign lands even. We’re only about a year old now and on a shoestring budget, but with artists of Mr. Garcia’s caliber, with releases like “I Used To Write On Walls..”, and with the likes of and bodies of w3rk n’ potential from the rest of our roster.. -the sky really is the limit. In 2010 we’re takin’ this whole thang through the roof. Stay tuned, as we’ve got some special stuff coming down the pike in the coming months.

And again, Mr. Garcia, *Stellar job on a a ridiculously solid EP and congrats on the positive cross-continental review of your album. We’re honored to be able to host and disseminate it for ya. Carry on hombre, we know you most assuredly shall. You’re a continued artistic inspiration. -Nothin’ but Love and Respect for you and your prolific piles of w3rk good sir.

Sincerely – gaR BaiLey aka alGARhythm
President, CEO, and Head Janitor of Hairy Sloth Records

Drone Operator – News, MP3s, & Music Video Downloads

hairysloth — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:17:06 +0000

We’re back with more A/V goodness for you all in this 11th month of 2009. This time with treats from a long time collaborator and friend of Hairy Sloth Records. Central/South FL resident, musician, producer, remixer, DJ, beat writer, fisherman, & wildman: Robert Caperton aka “Drone Operator” makes dark, mechanized IDM music with a heavy impetus towards the booty bass drum hits of a South Florida club or skating rink of the late 1980’s. Influenced equally by the bang of Booty, the aesthetic of Industrial, and the technicality of IDM. Dr-Op will blacken yer soul while simultaneously making you want to get up and shake yer ass across the dance floor of an underground club, er shit maybe even yer own bedroom.

In the coming months, look for an HSR exclusive album release of completely brand new Drone Operator music, possibly followed up by a Greatest Hits Collection LP of Bob’s sickest trax from the past 12 some odd years and about as many albums. The tracks which will be chosen, collected, and re-assembled by Drone Operator himself, and yers truly.. Mr. alGARhythm BaiLey.

In the meantime, HSR is totally stoked to wet yer whistle with these couple of songs for your streaming and/or downloadin’ pleasures.

With some equal w3rking attributes of IDM + Drum n’ Bass + Ambiance. -These four tracks compliment each other quite well. “Zenny” aka Keven Rogers is a 20 year old up n’ comer who is looking to climb out his musical shell a bit, and we here at Hairy Sloth are happy that we could help facilitate that some in “Detritus”. -These 4 songs contain a high tempo percussive element transposed against a chillax’d melodic aesthetic and the result is energized yet soothing. Not only is Zenny a part of the next wave electronic audio surfers to wash ashore here at HSR and hop onto the shoulder of our ever-evolving musical totem pole. But he’s also one of the few fellow electronic artists we’ve found who are actually w3rking in the Central FL county which we operate out of, that being – Volusia. “Z” was gracious enough to share some his fresh tunes with us and you free of charge, and we found it quite refreshing to hear what he’s got cooking. Hope you do too. Zenny is also in the process of starting his own net label to release more of his own music, as well as his extended contemporary’s future recordings. We’ll definitely keep you posted on that endeavor as it develops. Until next time, hope you enjoy these 4 bangin’ tracks. Feel free to contact Zenny or us here at HSR and let us know what you’re feeling, or just to show us some love.

hairysloth — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 06:29:09 +0000

With – “Flours (Part One)“.. Mr. “A” Scissors kindly offers us and fully exhibits auditory songsmanship at it’s finest. Craft, control, poignancy, and masterful melody are on full display in the smooth song that you will find beneath this sentence. Look for a similar mastery of sound in a full length format on the upcoming A_Scissors LP, which is due to hit the shelves, airwaves, & hard-drives by the end of 2009 or early 2010.

End Of Summer Updates / State Of Our Unions

hairysloth — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 19:14:40 +0000

Greetings and Salutations Music Lovers!

We wanted to update you all on what’s been going on in “Hairy Sloth w3rld” as of late. Lots of new website features and fresh content to celebrate. *Plus there’s plenty more to look forward to over the coming months and into 2010 as well. Let’s get caught up to speed here…

-> Firstly, in case you hadn’t noticed, the long awaited and over due HSR Compilation is now completed, converted, cohort-ed, uploaded and available for all your listening pleasures. Entitled: Hairy Sloth Records – “The Central FLaw In Us All Compilation – Vol. 1″. *It’s currently available for digital download over on HSR for a mere 5$, and in our humble opinion it’s worth every penny. (Note: ALL proceeds from the sale of this album goes towards further promoting the label, artists, and compilation.) Besides that, every OTHER musical item available on HSR up to this point in time is available for FREE download, with an option to donate if one so chooses.

So you’re probably interested in just who exactly is included on our first Compilation..
Well here’s the track listing to hopefully wet yer whistles and maybe inspire your more philanthropic natures in the process:

01 | A_Scissors – How To Drown A Whale (5:19)
02 | alGARhythm – Your Other Left (4:09)
03 | Benny Loco & Uncle Abuelito – Düsseldorf (4:17)
04 | R.Garcia – Hambone & Eef (3:45)
05 | Mr. Whitefolk – UnderwaterFM (5:47)
06 | Michael Mcnabb – Machine Talk (5:45)
07 | Death To False Love – Diametrically Composed (4:32)
08 | Drone Operator – The Enchantress Of Number (3:12)
09 | Dr. XnLb – The Ghosts Of Your Past Always Haunt Closest To Your Heart (4:54)
10 | Benny Loco & Uncle Abuelito – The Walk (1:52)
11 | Ars Phoenix – Hanging Fire (Hairy Sloth Mix) (4:15)
12 | A Scissors – Flours (Part Two) (6:10)
13 | Mic Mell – Windy (3:36)
14 | alGARhythm – Pushing A Stone Down A Hill (Feat. Adrian Taylor & Jehn Cerron) (5:08 )
15 | Engine Heart – Tremendo Culo (3:56)

Not too shabby, eh? Tis really a solid listen, start to finish. Props to all the comp artists for sharing their special muzaks with us all ie for their auditory generosity, and for their trust in this new venture and young label.

-> Secondly, This Summer we released two more EPs to our catalog by the artists: “R.Garcia” + “Benny Loco & Uncle Abuelito”. This brings our current catalog collection to 5 EPs and one glorious Compilation with more on the way in the coming months. Looking to try and release full lengths by A_Scissors, alGARhythm, & Drone Operator by the end of the year, and we have some other irons in the fire as well.

-> Thirdly, Besides the website/label updates which include a new faster server, a new secure cash register feature, and a “shop” section.. we’ve got this new area of the site called “Detritus”. This is a blog styled section of the site where we’ll be offering strictly FREE downloads of individual MP3s, Video, Photos, and any other content we feel worth offering up to our friends, fans, and customers. The idea behind this section of the website is to supplement time between major album and EP releases, as those can’t happen every single month. We’re hoping that by offering up free tracks and other tidbits n’ sundries every few weeks er so, many of them exclusive to HSR.. -That we’ll be able to generate a bit more regular and return traffic to the label. I mean, who doesn’t love exclusive and Free songs and videos? Right now, there’s a 12 minute Death To False Love MP3 and 2 brand new songs by Benny Loco up on/in Detritus that you’ll find no where else on earth. Go Download those joints now, along with the other EPs. There’s plenty of fresh content for everybody. Hope you dig and enjoy it all.

Lastly but not leastly, We’ll be doing an Avant GARism event on Oct 16th at the Laboratory in Gainesville, Florida, and simultaneously helping to kick off the “Solder VI: Electronic Music Festival”. -Which many of u are well aware is happening the very same weekend! Mad thanx to “Minimum Of None” for helping to set this up, and who will also be playing the event along side alGARhythm and A_Scissors. Both of whom will be playing many of their new, unreleased tracks that you won’t be hearing until a few months from now when their new LPs drop like bombs on here at HSR. Please come check out the show if in the Gainesville area, and be some of the very few folks who get’s to hear their new music before the rest of the w3rld does. Gar’s also got a special surprise for everybody during his set which has never quite been attempted before. Fingers crossed that he can pull it off.

Well that’s it for now.. Plenty of stuff here to get any interested parties up to date and informed on Hairy Sloth Records’ and it’s label mates recent output and endeavors.

Feel free to let us know any feedback you may have on any of the information or releases listed above. Always interested to know what ourcustomers, patrons, and creative contemporaries are thinkin’ and feelin’ bout our w3rks and just in general.

Love, respect, creativity, and understanding to all – Tha Hairy SLoTH Crew

PS – We’re also working now on getting many of our releases available in physical CD formats too. As well as some artist and label apparel ie shirts, hats, hoodies, stickers, etc. Will def let u know if any of that comes to fruition.
