I am planning our next sampler, this one is going to be another special situation…. It will be featuring and focused on young new producers who are trying to get their name out. “FRESH BEAT VOL.1” will hopefully contain some of the freshest new talent poking around in 2013.

There will be extensive digging and approval related to this release, but I am encouraging everyone to spread the word. This is an opportunity for the new guy, the person who doesn’t have more than one beat tape on their bandcamp, or no website at all! This is for the guys who are just finding their feet in our deep pool called music life.

I get countless submissions from artists and producers that I feel are not of a quality to release properly, but are so full of promise and room for growth; this release is a way to reach out and encourage these individuals to continue at their craft, and to serve as a reminder that this industry is NOT exclusive or shut it. The beauty of what we do is ANYONE CAN DO IT.

I encourage all producers to put me in touch with any friends they have who might be just starting out, or any sounds you may have heard recently on soundcloud. This also applies to new alias’s used by artists.

Further questions can be submitted and answered via facebook, or send your music submissions to us via email grappafrisbeerecords@gmail.com

“FRESH BEAT VOL.1” will be curated and released digitally.

The label is growing so fast, sometimes it is hard to keep track of every release and everyone and what they’re doing… and with these ol’ legs… you know how it goes, Grandpa.

Not much new here, well. …besides it being the New Year and all, I do have some news, but I can’t release it publicly yet . I know, I know, so mysterious. Everyone rolls their eyes. You will all know in due time, trust ( that is if certain developments happen, Scorpio) Let’s just say life is crazy. One minute you think you know where you are, and the next minute, you get an e-mail that potentially changes your life.. .la beauty of impermanence.

So let’s just hit pause on this moment and reflect on how wonderful these two new releases are. Sit and hit play on that tape deck ya got there. Ay, ay. Pause and take life in slow mo, because we aren’t getting any younger.

Vimana Aircraft (DAP) – GPC008, The North Rim, is a short and joyous trip through acoustic wonderland of uke, SP 202s, Dr 202, and kaossilator. Available in a limited edition tape, and digital download.

All These Fingers – Pause/Redo GFR062 – A master producer, with an edge and love of suspense drizzled in static vibrations. 12 tracks available for digital download.

As always, it is a pleasure to feature such wonderful artists ( a friend of the label, and a returning family member).
We hope that you will enjoy these musical sensations as much as we do.

Love . Peace. Beats. Grandma.

This is what our man Pedro had to say about the construction of his album…

We truly want to acknowledge your contributions this past year by giving to you. It was my first time mailing anything internationally, and I am pleased to say that it didn’t hurt my finances to get your gifts to you. Thank you for uploading pictures and confirming retrieval on your end.

Note: for those who have been following my personal twitter, tumblr, soundcloud accounts, I will be using them less for GFR due to the love child branch. It seems more professional and clean to keep everything in one place and under the same name. My personal accounts will continue to be used for my artist work and expressions outside of GFR, and you are always welcome to communicate with me regardless whether it is regarding business or not. Thank you for your friendship and fellowship. Much love.  <3 kj
