New web site with a new release!
That's right folks! We're pleased to announce not only a new web site this Monday morning, but also the release of Somnaphon's Meatronic debut "a ballerina thru the zoo". Please note that we're still in the process of cleaning up the site for those of you that refuse to something other than Internet Explorer.

New Mirrors Available
It took some time to get them all set up and available, but the effort was worth it. All of the previous Meatronic releases are now available on Archive.org and all future releases will be uploaded there as well. This is in an effort to alleviate high amounts of traffic on the server, easily provide derived formats (OGG and VBR MP3s) and to help us reach a larger audience. Now this isn't the only announcement today, it seems we have a small handful of releases that are in the process of being finalized (including a physical release) and should be available in the coming weeks. Also in the coming weeks, a fresh new web site design for everyone to drool over. Make sure to check back frequently for updates as we are entering exciting times!

The first of [potentially] many
Today marks the first release from the Meatronic Living Room Series. "Say what?" you ask? The Living Room series is a live series with a collaborative effort by multiple musicians, noisicians, whathaveyou, that takes place in... wait for it... a living room. Living Room One being the first, efforts were recorded of Beardtongue, Big Sugar Victorious as well as Meatronic founding fathers Otolathe and Insecticide Lobotomy. Get your copy today, and if you're possibly interested in being a part of future Living Room recordings, drop us a line! And remember we don't like trance music!!!

Last day of the year!
Today on the last day of the year 2007 we thought it was appropriate to get one more release out before it all ends. Today's offering is a noisy release from 910 Noise's Carl Kruger. This three track album is an endeavor into minimalistic noise that focuses more on the natural sounds of equipment then the use of samples or instruments. Get your download on, and have a safe and happy new year!

Interview with Meatronic Founders Josh and K.Paul
Interview with Meatronic Founders Josh and K.Paul
Calm Down, Relax was kind enough to interview us for their first installment of their "Emerging Netlabel" series. You can check out the interview here.

It's a day early, but Merry Christmas anyway (fill in "Merry Christmas" with any other possibly more politically correct holiday greeting as you see fit)

Get your Turkey on!
The Meatronic Staff would like wish everyone* out there a safe and happy Thanksgiving. If you haven't download any of our releases, we don't wish you anything. No seriously, stop being lazy download our releases!

I know it's been a while since we had a release, we're soft of experiencing some technical difficulties with a certain hard drive that has our next release sleeping on it. Expect something new very soon! And for all you musicians out there, we're still accepting demos, so get on it!

* Note: Yes, I'm aware I said everyone, and then said only the folks who have downloaded from us
