Boxhead Ensemble was originally begun as a collective supporting the score for the documentary "Dutch Harbor: Where the Sea Breaks its Back".
"Dutch Harbor is one of the largest fishing ports in the United States, located on the small remote island of Unalaska, part of the Aleutian Island chain. Trawlers each day head to sea to fish in the oceans off the Pacific Northwest or up into the Bering Sea some 300 miles away. This documentary is the story of the small town where Dutch Harbor is located and the men and women who call Unalaska and the sea their home. This 80-minute film, shot in black-and-white, shows a village in transition, from a remote place on the earth to one of the most active international commercial-fishing communities. Stunning photography and an equally captivating soundtrack brings together the story of these people who live on the western shores of Alaska." ~ Forrest Spencer, Rovi
Its one of the most moving films ever made. Naturally, it wasn't well received in the states but was adored in Europe. That accepting market caused the musicians to travel there to perform further live improvised film screenings. The best moments of that tour are presented on
The Last Place to Go.

Impressive, huh? The bulk of Chicago's avant garde scene alongside two of The Dirty Three. Not too shabby.
I've never heard better relaxing yet somber improvisational music.
Get it Here
This is the alter ego of Jneiro Jarel from Shape of Broad Minds. His previous solo material is more Delia Derbyshire-centric, but here he moves into heavy baselines, sweet soulful melodies, and Jazz & Afro-Brazilian Fusion, creating an individualized retro-futurist and sedating hip hop sound. 
Robert Earl "DJ Screw" Davis, Jr. was a Houston, Texas (or "Screwston" as its now often referred to) hip-hop DJ and "The Originator" of the Chopped and Screwed technique. 
Psych out with your balls out with this monolithic band. Ufomammut is a long-running experimental metal band hailing from Italy. This is not mellow music. Be ready for the darker trip. Loud, hard, brutal, acid. Dig.
So, here goes nothing. A friend and I are starting a record label focused on local (Asheville, NC) experimental music. If I'm not as frequently posting, pleases excuse me. Soon, we'll be releasing a split 7" with these two:
