Ezekiel Honig's Scattered Practices album is finally available on the lauded Boomkat. Here's what they have to say about it:
"Ezekiel Honig is one of those rare producers who has stumbled across a sound and just run with it, I say rare because in the electronic music world it is becoming increasingly more difficult for artists to find a voice. Indeed much of what used to be known as 'electronica' has now fallen away leaving only the hardcore (and the dubstep producers) still badgering away at the style, and Honig is nothing if not driven. This drive totally pays off though, and just as with the effort he puts into his two labels Microcosm and Anticipate we see the hard work shining through on 'Scattered Practices', his third full length solo album. As with his previous works he shows a similar aesthetic as influential electronica guru Matthew Herbert, but where Herbert frames his work in funk and choppy jazz, Honig instead looks to ambient soundscapes and the most minimal of techno. Don't however assume this is a 'minimal techno' record, sure Honig uses 4/4 beats but at no point do I think they're to make you dance, rather they're used in the tradition of Signer (circa 'Low Light Dreams') or Gas, to punctuate the ambience and accentuate the soundscapes. So amongst the harmonic bliss of Rhodes and decaying synthesizer lead we have the clatter of household objects and processed field recordings, which gives a playful edge to what could so easily be austere and robotic. This playfulness is what makes 'Scattered Practices' so effortless and enjoyable to listen to, and on repeat listens the tiny details get embedded in your consciousness. It might not be the right time for electronic music right now, but there are still some producers getting it just right, and Ezekiel Honig is one of those gifted few - those of you who enjoyed the fantastic 'Airships Fill the Sky' from Honig's occasional collaborator Morgan Packard will just fall in love with 'Scattered Practices'. A huge recommendation." - Boomkat
MCOSM1019 - May 7, 2007 - Miskate - Afterblaster EP (12")
Miskate is quickly becoming a necessary fixture in the techno universe, extending musical boundaries and retaining a dancefloor sensibility on a consistent basis, while imbuing her tracks with a unique brand of woozy, gauzy funk.

MCOSM1020 - July 16, 2007 - Socks and Sandals - Rishi Saturn EP (12")
Socks and Sandals are back! Having made their official debut with the track, "Lover," on the Macrofun Volume Two 10", and following that up with the Shatter EP in January 2006, Nicholas Sauser and Clark ov Saturn return from a year-plus hiatus with three tracks imbued with a musical sense that is particularly their own. With much change for each of them since their last collaboration - collectively, including moving, child bearing, solo musical work, and beard growing - their new material extends the spirit of their previous work into an expansive universe of minutiae.
