I discovered this label a few months back now and have been thoroughly impressed with all releases up to date. Word of warning though…They sell super fast so be quick!

Here’s what the label manager Christopher has to say about the project:

I hope to be able to put out experimental music on CD’s with handmade & hand numbered packaging. I’m interested in putting out all sorts of music from folk, drone, noise, ambient, electronic, post-rock etc. Basically anything goes as long as its good. If you like labels such as Kranky, Type, Root Strata, Barge etc and all the great CD-R labels that are putting out some amazing stuff you’ll get an idea of the kind of stuff I hope to release.

Please feel free to get in contact if you’d like to put something out together, I’m open to anything regardless of genre. If its good its good.

Please contact me at underthespire@googlemail.com regarding demo’s and stuff or just to say hello.

Peter Broderick and Nils Frahm: Softly Spoken Words From The Nave
The so-called ‘modern classical’ scene has furnished the world with a number of interesting and highly praised artists in recent years, but few have garnered a wider or more devoted following than Peter Broderick and Nils Frahm. Their respective solo work has charmed and delighted listeners of many different stripes, as has their recent collaborative [...]

Digital Edition: January 2012
As I write this the eyes are slightly blurred and the brain is slowly giving way… I guess that’s what seven hours sat in front of a computer screen will do to you! I hope you will agree that it has been worth it as this months digital edition is packed (125 pages to be [...]

Recent Mixes

Listening Mirror – That Gum You Like Is Going To Come Back In Style
There’s no real rhyme or reason behind the selections in this mix. They are all tracks I love, by artists I have great respect for. Some, like Tonto’s Expanding Head Band, opened my eyes to electronic music when I was a teenager in the early 70′s, and I still have my original copies of their [...]

Each was provided a video camera and weekly interview questions to document his own experience. The resulting 600 hours of intimate footage revealed a group of [...]
