   About Psychosomatic Records

Psychosomatic Records is a micro-label based out of the North Hollywood arts district. It is all about true artistic freedom; the freedom to use anything that sounds right without any adherence to dogma. This means using beats, or not using beats; grabbing from the future, or the past; keeping things simple, or making them complex; using the full tonal spectrum, whether consonance or dissonance.

Psychosomatic's newest release is "Wetlands" from the veteran electronic artist Cavestar. At first hearing it might be labeled as "experimental", but it is really much more than that. Although each track began with experiments in found sounds, Cavestar engaged in an intense but very rapid refinement process that evolved the pieces into truly finished works.

So, unlike much of what is being called “experimental” these days, Wetlands is not of a “use once and discard” nature; these tracks invite repeated visits as they will reveal new features with every listening. The pieces each have their own sonic character, ranging from a very sparse ambience to dense sound collages that incorporate field recordings made everywhere from busy city street corners to actual wetlands. To hear more of this record, go to CD Baby.

Other releases from Psychosomatic include a mix of avant garde electronics and dub from Subversive Element, a compilation from the artists collective Novabeats Sound System, ambient groove from Mr. Soon, and a wild live mix of jungle, dub, and ambient from Biomechanique. To find out more, go to psyrecords.com.
