Sales Information:

"A while ago the guys from Mary Go Wild got in touch with me about doing a record. Mary Go Wild is a record and book store based in the Red Light District in Amsterdam. They explained to me they had started something they called the vinyl club. Basically a group of subscribers that pay yearly to receive a random record every month, and all these records had something special. I absolutely loved this idea.

First of all, there's the surprise element. Secondly - and this really appealed to me - the fact that people paid upfront for something they didn't know what it was till they received it in the mail. To me this meant I could produce anything I wanted without having to worry about break even or sales. And that thought is exactly what shaped this BODOMRGWLD series.

For the first edition I remember there were a few emails from the vinyl club subscribers.
One stating: "I connected my turntable to my amplifier. The speakers are also working in the same way that I normally listen to music to. But for some reason the record you send me still sounds out of tune. Am I doing something wrong?"

For the upcoming BODOMRGWLD02 I was speaking to other producers about a possible contribution. I know a lot of producers who make dance floor music, they're very good at it, but also make the most brilliant non house/techno skits.
I set out to collect this and I was absolutely amazed by the number of great producers I found willing to contribute and also allow me to fiddle and play around with it to make it into the record it is now.

It turned out to be almost 40 minutes long. One of the first pieces I was sent was by Adam (Iron Galaxy). I played a gig at Mutek in Montreal and Adam did a Boiler Room there on that same day. He performed a great live show and when his 60 minutes where up he improvised a beatless outro. Hearing that outro I knew it had to be on this record. Another great thing is that I got my dad to work on this project as well. He has my grandparent's old tube radio from the 50s in his study, still in perfect original shape. I asked him to jam about on that thing switching from short to long wave etc. Its so interesting to hear what sort of sounds you can make on that just by tuning. The whole take he delivered truly sounded like an avant-garde piece."
