MySpace a place for friends

It's with regret that the 3 partners of Exercise1 Recordings need to inform you that we have decided it is time to call it a day on the project, put up our feet, drink some tea and pat each other on the back for all that we did over the last 4 years.

The idea at the start (and end for that matter) was always to create a catalogue of work recorded, crafted, designed, packaged and promoted with an immense amount of love and a minute amount of financial backing. Fortunately this catalogue will always be there, along will the hole in our bank accounts and our low credit scores, but more importantly so will the radio plays, video plays, reviews, interviews and just general recognition for our artists that were obtained with good music, rather than some lavish PR budget.

Naturally it's not the last you'll hear from our artists, and we'd like to point out that none are under any form of contract or written agreement with us and will be free to make music for you in whatever method they choose to in the future. Neither is it the last you'll hear from us 3, individually or as a collective. We plan to put something new together in the not too distant future.

There will be details here soon of a farewell celebration, and until then the site is still available and all releases are still purchasable from www.exercise1.net or your local record store/iTunes until further notice. We'd also like to offer a copy of our label sampler/compilation 'Ten' to anyone that wants one. Go to www.exercise1.net to order one for £2.50 (which will cover the postage and packing only). We have about 100 left at the time of writing this and we'd much rather you had them to discover and continue support the artists contained on the release.

Thanks to everyone that helped over the last 4 years. You know who you are.
EX1 xx

EXERCISE1 Records was born October 2004 in The Camden Head, Angel Islington over a pint of London Pride and a packet of Scampi Fries.
They put out good music that they like, largely due to the fact that most record labels are rubbish (with a few noble exceptions). A bunch of important people have played it on a bunch of important radio shows, and a bunch more people who know loads about music have written about it in their majorly important publications. They have a website at www.exercise1.net. They are approachable and use their eyes as well as talk in language.
