Aesthetics

An exciting new prospect out of the Shadow Law stables is a new label dedicated to rising talents from across the globe. Aesthetics has been set up to break in new names that the common public might not yet be aware of, but will get to know FedEx fast!

Originally, this project was created in early 2007. 001 (Catacomb - Out Alive b/w Dose - Anoxia) was signed early last year, and then put on the back burner. Being as busy as the 'man in demand' is, Mayhem's ongoing workload restricted him from giving it the proper attention a "quality control" + "talent breaking" label deserves. Now with things in a more calm and collected state (and his debut album almost complete!) the time has come to open the flood gates and rinse out the beats.

With 3 official releases already concrete, Aesthetics look to break new boundaries with likes of Equivalent, Engage, Kodin and Scud, aswell as respective new school heads, Catacomb, Dose, Corrupt Souls and Cern making their mark.

AES001 is on test press right now and Mayhem has said things will now move at a speedy pace, so expect to see a consistent flow for the rest of the year. (and if not, send kick-in-the-ass emails to mayhem @ shadowlawrecordings . com HAH!)

Mayhem Forthcoming Debut LP

Atlanta's first son, Mayhem, recently spilled the beans on his forthcoming debut album, Into Oblivion.

Due out in September of this year on SLR, the release will be available in all formats (3 x 12'' vinyl, CD and mp3) and features solo works as well as some promising collabs with long time friends, Phace and Psidream, separately. There is also a Noisia remix included, so keep an eye on their Remix Page for a possible preview.

I'm expecting big things from this project, and you should too! Anthony has been long overdue for a release of this nature and we all know the amount of attention albums receive. So prepare yourself for nothing but the best in forward thinking, funk fuzed, southern fried drum and bass!

404Audio's Retail Store

404Audio now has a retail store. The newly opened shop is Atlanta's only store dedicated to the culture of drum & bass music. Designed by the SLR daddy, Anthony Rotella, his longtime friend (and good buddy of mine) Dana Topley and his partner in architecture, Emanuel Admassu. The store is conveiniantly located in the heart of the downtown core and is only blocks away from The Georgia Aquarium. It officially opened it's doors for buisness on January 4th, 2007.




Im sure you'll agree that it's one impressive store. Design wise, you;ve got to love the strong contrast in the texture throughtout it. Smooth walls and furniture, clean lines and a warm setting, mixed with the harsh brick outcroppings. Nice atmosphere with sick halogen track lighting. High ceiling, open concept and large ventilation AC system. Four in-wall mounted computers with full access to the 404 Audio catalogue of merchadise [which will be available worldwide soon!] and a friendly knowledgable staff to help all customers with questions and needs.
Well done Anthony, Dana and Emanuel .

Mayhem And Projects

Atlants's first son, Mayhem, has jumped into the Downtempo ring. Thermoptics was recently created by Anthony and is to serve as his new outfit for all DT projects. This guy is really starting to show his depth and range in quality production. Whether it's Drum & Bass [Discography] or Breaks [Hostage, a collab effort with Knick from Evol Intent fame.] and now Downtempo, the man provides a solid output of high quality beats.

A busy fucker too. I wonder how he has time for sleep. I mean, in between his new family life, running Shadow Law Recordings and 404Audio, producing tunes, touring around the world, organizing 'Transit' [Atlanta's longest running Drum & Bass night @ The Mark] and starting to set up '404Audio The Shop', the man is a machine!

Exodus

Noisia & Mayhem - 'Exodus'

A small audio snippet is circling the net at the moment. It's another collab effort from the crazy dutchmen and the ATL son. The tune has been ripped from the Renegade Hardware B2B special, Gridlok vs. Noisia set and is not yet finished.
