New Praxis Web Site to Replace this Blog!

In the summer of 1992, in a squat in North Peckham, just off the Old Kent Road, Praxis was born and at the end of November this year it will be 20 years since the first two records were released, Praxis 1 by Scaremonger, and Praxis 2 by Bourbonese Qualk.

Now, in the spring of 2012 in Berlin we just received the test pressings of Praxis 50 by Electric Kettle (more info + audio will be up soon!) and have many more new projects in the pipeline.

And our new website – under the old URL http://praxis.c8.com – is online now and will gradually fill in the blanks about the history and keep you up to date about current and future projects and events!

This means that this blog, set up to temporarily replace the old site until the new one was online, is now obsolete. The more important posts were added to the new site.

Number One for Breakcore on Discogs

PRAXISRECORDS on discogs which is a dublicate of the praxis online store is the shop with by far the most breakcore releases available on the discogs.com marketplace.

Some New Entries in the Praxis Online Shop

Some new titles in the (soon to be re-designed) Praxis Online Shop:

It’s been out for a while, but very very obscure… the Meier Und Erdmann self-released 7″. A creative mixture of electronica, dubstep with guitar and clarinet.

And another wicked 7″ – this time more hardcore oriented by Grr who recently released the the Sub/Version 309. Also limited to 200 copies

Redesign of the Praxis Bandcamp site

Those who follow the developments more closely will have noticed some changes in the design, which are slowly spreading over the various platforms and also reached our bandcamp site. New logo, headers and banners courtesy of sansculotte. Now the bandcamp site has been infected… This will include the online shop shortly and also a redesign of the praxis web site into which this blog will be re-integrated! watch out…

Low Res 024 – Adjust/Bombardier split – free download on bandcamp!

The latest release on Low Res Records – Low 024 – has been released in digital format only so far via their bandcamp site.
It’s a two track split EP with one track by label boss Adjust titled Titan pleasantly reminiscent of classic techstep, the other by Bombardier, which also has a 90’s feel, but more veering towards a doomy PCP-aesthetics!
Check it out – it’s a free download!

www.ithinkmusic.com has closed 19-2-2012

The irony: Last night I added the new download shop header and the recent/new Sub/Version releases by Egon Frinz and Grr to our old mp3 shop and tonight I was in the middle of writing a blog post on the praxis.ithinkmusic.com page when suddenly the site went offline, and it looks like it’s for good:

“After 5 years of trading http://www.ithinkmusic.com has been closed. Unfortunately our bank have removed our overdraft facility which has made it impossible for used to continue to trade.

A big thank you to all of the labels and music lovers that have supported the service over the years.

If you have any question please get in touch via email: mc@ithinkmusic.com”

I was very hesitant about the idea of selling files to begin with. After all we had offered free downloads for many years via c8.com, seeing it as an opportunity to spread the music and promote the records. But when it became apparent that more and more DJ’s were using files rather than records to play out, it became more important to provide high quality files, and surely the people looking for them wouldn’t mind to pay a euro or so for one to support the artists and labels!?

Donate, Download, Support – Tomorrow at NoiseAngriff

NoiseAngriff is free to get in – but since we need to generate some modest funds to run it, we figured we offer something in return for your voluntary donation. So anyone giving one euro or more at tomorrows (or todays, depending when you read this) event will receive a download code to get the new release on Sub/Version digital by Grr for free!

starting 21h!!!
It is meant to be an “early” night (by Berlin standards), meaning that we will go till one or two and then it will depend on the audience, the bar staff as well as ourselves if we carry on and make it a late one after all.
