Abflug.=20
Connections is comprised of six tracks (23.4 mins) of glitchy, =
atmospheric electronica courtesy of Belgian artist Formatt, whose work =
has been previously released on several labels including Robo Records, =
Stasisfield.com and 2063music. This session is best enjoyed through your =
standard stereo system.
Apinavideo is straight from the brain of Samuli Alapuranen, who is =
perhaps better known as acclaimed Finnish video artist and musician O =
Samuli A. Apinavideo is a black & white, loopy tribute to monkeys, with =
Samuli's beautiful, simple, melodic music as the soundtrack. Enter the =

brand new website at www.abflug.tk for a current list of distributors.
In Case You Don't Know What Abflug Is
Abflug is a Helsinki, Finland-based label dedicated to electronic music =
and video arts. The aural criteria for Abflug releases ranges from =
soundscapes to echoing glitch to ambient to crunchbeat to deep techno.=20
Each Abflug release will include both an audio and a visual element. The =
two components, music and video, are complimentary but separate, and not =
necessarily by the same artist. The format for the first Abflug releases =
will be CD-Extra, which means that there will be two sessions on the CD: =
normal audio tracks in the first session (for CD player), and QuickTime =
video clips (for computer) in the second session.
The second release on Abflug is due out around April 15 with music by =
French producer Antoine Verhaverbeke. Abflug will also be present at the =
Pixelache festival at Kiasma, the museum of contemporary art, in =
Helsinki, Finland on April 10-13.
