Ok, we’ve got a few nice things to point you to today. We’re a hard-working duo here at the Montreal-based independent label Fixture Records and we really appreciate when other hard-working folks put their energy into our projects.
First off, Brave Radar drummer and excellent solo electronic artist Gabriel Ng has been recording new songs […]
I am enjoying drawing out the memory of our Indyish Sugar Shack Mess with these bits of live show audio, I hope you’re digging it too. For me the night was spectacularly impressive because preparing food for 100+ people was NOT something I was prepared to do, and I was thrilled with the success of […]

Recorded by the very dear Jason Bolanis from Soundcraft who has a perhaps slightly unhealthy love for vintage microphones, (I joke, I kid!,) and is an overall audiophiley dear […]
Having recently opened an independent record store, I’ve quickly become acquainted with the challenges that face small stores like mine, and the independent record industry in general.
