Astrobal of Plug Research releases a Mixtape with SCV
Astrobal West Lake Travel Guide – Part I
Compiled and Mixed by Astrobal
Artwork by Aarvo Lakus
Mixed Fall 2011
Astrobal was born in France in the 70′s in a very diverse and rich musical setting that his parents put him in. It was an honor that Astrobal agreed to do a mix with us knowing about his diverse interests and tastes in music as it fits right at home with the way we present our art, music and film. Astrobal recently signed with the prestigious Plug Research Records and has released his first EP “Poetry and Science-Fiction” which he attributes to representing the first phase of Plug Research that influenced him so heavily and the new foundations of sounds he will become known for. Astrobal was sent the request to do this mix and sent us this immediately. We have some very nice artists who will be presented in our Mixcloud series, please enjoy this mix and spread around if you enjoyed the listen. – Erik Otis

Label Spotlight
Porter Records
2935 S. Fish Hatchery Rd, #414
Madison, WI 53711 / USA
Porter Records was born in 2005 out of a love for crate digging in the basements of record shops. Porter’s founder, Luke Mosling, has a talent for finding the obscure, beautiful and strange recordings that may have previously gone unheard by a larger audience. This talent started the reissue portion of the Porter Records catalog.
When doing reissues, Porter works hard at creating strong relationships with the original artists or their estates. This allows Porter to respect not only the original vision of the artist and their recordings, but also to respect the vision the artist has for the future. Porter’s goal is to make these reissues more widely known and recognized as important pieces of art within their respected genres.
Porter Records is more than a reissue label. Porter has over 40 releases by modern composers and performers that bring something special to the current day music tapestry. Each release is like a hidden jewel providing its own unique color and brilliance. Porter Records is very proud to have such talented artists and a diverse catalog of genres in a time when the music industry is pumping out replica after replica.
