July was a busy month for us here at Nueva Forma. And while we look ahead to August, please allow us our momentary rest and reflection of our laurels. We dropped the newest installment of Listening Pleasures (Episode 8 for those keeping score), which with its mellow grooves and warm resonance you could say is an ode to a mid-summer’s night garden party with ghetto blasters. We also cut exciting new releases from two members of our label’s roster, iameb 57 and Hello Square.

iameb 57 - Tipsy Hax

Tipsy Hax, the newest album from iameb 57, will have you at its mercy from the first beat drop to the final echoing tones. We urge you to give into the sensation and get lost in the encapsulating melodies and deeply-textured layers of this 19-track offering. Creating some of the most beautiful compositions and eclectic mixes this side of the mainstream, iameb 57 has done more than make an album; he’s reinvigorated our love for IDM. Check out free streaming previews of the tunes right here and purchase all 19 complete mp3 tracks for only $8.00 USD at shopnuevaforma.com. With rumors spreading that IDM is dead, you can take iameb 57′s word that it is indeed alive and well.

Hello Square - Office Jargon

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

To round out July’s releases, we offer you Hello Square’s beautiful debut single, Office Jargon. Featuring a fabulous combination of vocal-driven melodies and danceable synthetic beats, this track is perfect for the more pop-minded listener. Included in the package are remixes by the aforementioned iameb 57 and Nueva Forma’s newest artist, A Gap Between. We think you’ll dig the treatments and transformations. The single, along with the two remixes, is up for grabs for only $0.99 USD at shopnuevaforma.com. Three cuts, one low price. Come and get it!

We hope you enjoy these releases as much as we do. And as the summer rolls along, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for more releases, sign up for our newsletter to never miss another beat, and hold your breath for some serious music coming from Pinscape and Miori in the coming weeks. Cheers, and with love -

- your Nueva Forma team

Pirate Bay logo

Just got word that the founders of the Pirate Bay (the ever popular bit torrent) were found guilty of breaking copyright law, and are sentenced to a year in Jail, and a fine of £31m. If you’re not familiar with the Pirate Bay, you’ve either been living under a rock for the last decade, or you have a life. Either way, this is big news, and I must admit, I’m surprised that they were actually found guilty of piracy, and sentenced at all. The major fact of the matter that contributes to my bewilderment is that the Pirate Bay founders reside in Sweden (and from what I understand, copyright law is very loose, to non-existent over there).

Emoti-Chair translates music into tactile experiences

For the first time ever on March 5th, 2009, a rock concert will be staged just for the deaf at Clifton’s Tavern in Toronto. The technology enabling such a feat is the Emoti-Chair, a device created by Ryerson University’s Centre of Learning Technology and the Science of Music, Auditory Research and Technology Lab. This chair basically translates sound frequencies into tactile experiences, such as vibration, motion, and even blasts of air. Whooo.

We’ve recently added two new albums to the Nueva Forma Shop, Being by Critical, and No School by Sleepyhead.

Critical - Being (digital & tangible release)

Critical’s music can be described as dreamy, indietronic pop backed by vocals, and his album Being can be purchased in digital and tangible (CD) form.

Sleepyhead - No School (digital release)

We also have the pleasure of distributing Sleepyhead’s digital hip-hop album No School, and while Sleepyhead may be part of the Dismal City crew, he’s still considered part of the Nueva Forma family.

Please give these albums a listen on the shop, and we hope you enjoy the music.

Thanks,
Nueva Forma
