News

Dear followers, we're sorry, but have no choice to announce that both the Yagya and Kettel releases will be delayed by approx. one month.
We are putting a lot of our (ever-so-limited) time and resources into these releases, and feel our listeners don't deserve anything less than the best we can do. As we are not a fullblown and fulltime releasemachine, these things can happen (and do happen, and happened before, and unfortunately will happen again). The only thing we can hope for is that you bear with us, and keep supporting us, so that the word 'delay' will someday dissapear from our menu!
When ready for production, this news section right here will display everything you need to know about these two upcoming releases. (Have we mentioned that they're both really good?)

News from the front. After the critically acclaimed Rhythm of Snow (2002, Force Inc) and Will I Dream During The Process (2006, Sending Orbs) albums, Icelandic producer Yagya (Aðalsteinn Guðmundsson) brings his third full-length album “Rigning”. Brilliant Dub techno & ambient on both CD and vinyl formats (2x12”). We welcome Rutger Prins to our art team. Expected release date of SO 011 is mid/end September.

Just back from his USA tour, Kettel will deliver the highly anticipated sequel of the Myam James series (part 1: SO 009, Kettel – Myam James part 1 – April 2008). We are expecting surprising mood-swings, which will be in contrast with the first MJ part. Of course, you’ll find your daily recommended amount of acid... with Maximal Electronic Music warranty and Jeroen Advocaat art! Myam James 2 (SO 010) expected release date is mid/end October.

E-Orbs, the Sending Orbs download shop is online now! You're invited to purchase lossless FLACs or highqual MP3s from (nearly; more to come) all of our releases. If you're hesitating between iTunes or E-orbs, the fact that your money will flow directly into the peanutbutter-jelly-sandwiches of the artists and label may convince you do choose the latter.

E-Orbs is a young organism, built up from scratch by ourselves so we're eager to take notice of your experiences or problems you encounter using the e-shop. You're welcome to help us out, depositing your experience in the Constructive Comments Box @ E-Orbs (contact). Read more here.

Finally, we got him! Myam James 1 is reality now. See the first pictures of the first SO digipak.

Check your mailbox the coming days. And in case you haven't ordered the CD yet, do it here. We almost forgot... digital buyers, check the site/news, because our very own download store will launch in a few days. Download our classics and new stuff like MJ1 as high quality MP3s and FLACs.

Our latest Orb will be ready to be shipped off to you by April the 15th. This is Kettel's incredible Myam James Part 1 and you can already pre-order now! Track previews? a story? or just a mouse click????

(n.b. in case your order includes pre-orders (myam james pt. 1 and/or merchandise) please realize you will receive the order after the 15th)

Instead of an EP, Secede is going full speed ahead to a new album. At this moment we cannot give you any further details when it will come out. We're sorry to disappoint some of you, but producing music is not the same as executing USSR Five-Year Plans. Consider it a huge pleasure delay, because it's going to be goood!
Also the Kettel EP transforms into an album; an album-series even! "Myam James 1" and "Myam James 2" will be two full length CDs, with only a few months in between. We're releasing "Myam James 1" in March. It has killer remixes by Schematic-heroes Phoenecia and our very own Secede! more info soon

Friday february 15 @ Melkweg. Check events and the 030303 site for more info.

Last copies of Funckarma's Elaztiq Bourbon 5 and Secede's Vega Libre cd for sale. Grab your chance while you can!

Update: SO 003 sold out.

A new layout usually means new activities at the SO headquarters. This time we want to give you an update on what you can expect the coming months.

First of all, Yagya has been working on a new album. We are awaiting the final pre-master. Fanatic web scrollers may already have listened to his new sounds on the live recordings from Augsburg and Copenhagen this year. We expect to release the album somewhere beginning 2008.

Secondly, plans have been made regarding new albums by Secede and Kettel. These albums will be preceded by EPs on CD (good old maxi single format). Once again teaming up with Jeroen Advocaat the artworks should be fine as hell again. We plan to sell the EPs as a double-release in December 2007 or January 2008. These will be catalogued as SO 009 and SO 010. The albums will follow shortly after.

No updates on the Secede/Kettel collab album as of now. But don't worry, the plans haven't been binned.
And last, but not least, we have new SO merchandise. The t-shirts (available in two colours: chocolate brown and navy blue; sizes: M, L, XL) and hooded sweaters (blue; M, L, XL) will be available in the SO shop when the Kettel and Secede EPs are out.
