Who loves DIY lofi music?
I do!

I Shat my Name in Blood is a one man musical project hailing from Glasgow, Scotland. Craig Dunlop is the name shat in Blood here. He recorded these songs in his flats over the past 10 years on Audacity.

Inventive, weird, spontaneous, groovy, uncompromised, bold, ethereal, sweet-sour, among many other distinctive qualities. Nice old secretional bedroom noise pop!

You can give it a listen:

For those who complain about present day Brazilian music, but above all, for everyone who enjoys folk music, dreampop and MPB, O Bosque/Woodland proudly presents '...', the first album by singer-songwriter Mariana Cetra:

https://open.spotify.com/album/650ZMhZXPtGXQam1zgBeBL?si=JvEwlACMSlqJ4-gyjYT1kQ

She's been making music for quite some time and her previous output is multifaceted, like with Fotograma, Magic Crayon and A Espiral de Bukowski.

'...' is an EP with 4 songs totalling 10 minutes of acoustic melodies and sung poetry in Brazilian Portuguese.
It was recorded at Quadrophenia Studio, the legendary lofi shelter of Sao Paulo.

Mariana's voice and guitar are the core of '...', but it features also special guest appearances by Sandro Garcia and Carlos Costa, from Continental Combo, and Cacá Amaral from Firefriend.

All the songs of '...' were previously released as singles on her bandcamp:

Foi gravado no Estúdio Quadrophenia, o lendário abrigo lofi de São Paulo.

This is an unusual post.

I started this label in 1995 in Praia Grande, Brazil. In the following years, I released a bunch of cassettes and CD-Rs, most of them by the bands I played in or friends', and the CD compilation Different Songs, featuring 9 bands from different parts of Brazil.

I quit the label in 1999.

While living in Brighton, UK, in 2009, I posted an open call for artists to participate in a compilation marking the comeback of the label.
After receiving a lot of good material, the result was a series of three compilations called cosmoPOPlitan, released online (bandcamp and streaming services) and also on CD-R. Each comp featuring 25 tracks, by DIY artists from many different parts of the world.

Since then I have been putting out albums by DIY artists from different parts of the world, mostly digitally, with a few releases on CD-R, cassette, CD and vinyl.

I have never known how to be a professional musician and never wanted to. The same with the label.
The first releases were funded with my salary as a security guard.
Then my security guard salary paid for half of Different Songs, while the other half was funded as a cooperative by 8 of the bands on it.
All the scarce money I got from the sales of these albums was used on things like groceries, household utility bills...

As from 2009, to every band/artist interested, I have been sincerely making it clear that this is not a professional label, that, if on this label, their album probably would not sell much, most probably would not sell at all. But in case it sold, I would do as the beloved Rough Trade famously operates, that is, after expenses, half to the artist and the other half to the label, simple as that.

Well, after a long time in which every scarce revenue was used on things like groceries, I decided to examine the numbers.
For most of the stuff I have released, sales haven't even covered expenses, haha, but it turns out I owe some of the artists money.

It is not much, in fact, it is incredibly little money, but I had always been worried about this, so now I will be able to settle the question and have peace of mind about this, hehe.

So this is a public announcement, I need to get in touch with the following artists and pay them: Transmittens (from the USA), Magic Crayon (from Brazil), PERTURBAZIONE (from Italy) and That Lingering Feeling (from the Philippines)

I am paying only the artists with entitlement of $10 or more, but there are many artists with entitlement of less than $10 and if any of them wants to pay for the paypal fee, just give me a shout!

Here's all the data:
http://woodland.blogspot.co.uk/2010/06/digital-sales-detailed-report.html

People from various parts of the world downloaded and streamed these 100 artists.
Congratulations to everyone who made this possible!

I am proud to say that the Italian label Electronicgirls decided to release an album by A Espiral de Bukowski now in May 2017.
It's called AEdB #2 and is a compilation, taking from where the album AEdB from 2015 had stopped. The image here is the cover of the album, a photo by Mariana Cetra.
It will soon be available also on our bandcamp, on Spotify etc.
