Light at the end of the tunnel, dear friends! The old material was in dire need of remastering, so it's taking us a while longer, but here it comes.
On June 7th our first official online release of classic tracks will hit the web!!!
We will start with a few classic 12 inches in the first few weeks, so you can gradually start filling your playlists with all that beat-filled goodness!
All links and details in the next post. Stand by for more news!

Can't wait to hear the new Dicepeople material at tonight's Lucida Records event at the Dublin Castle in Camden.

If this sneek peek from The Lexington in February is anything to go by, this is going to be one storming evening!

New bands for me to discover too, which is always a bonus.
