IfUWantMe b/w TrustInDigikal 7inch

     New SKRS 45 inna double-vision excursion! Essentially a split-seven featuring two separate tracks from two forthcoming releases on Bokeh Versions; brought together to form a dizzying dub moiré of SKRS expanded view of all tings dubwise.  Hear it from the label themselves!

     "Bokeh Versions is a new home for outernational sounds and dub lifeforms based outta South London.

Seekersinternational's debut on Bokeh Versions finds SKRS in a woozy mood. IfUWantMe is a warped interpolations of classic lovers rock vibes. Taken from their forthcoming LP, SKRS launches lovers into another dimension with a distant gyaldem chanting mantras over ruffneck lows.

TrustInDigikal is an archival track rescued from cosmic limbo. Sparse dub abstractions and alien gurgles battle with clipped samples to a synthonic conclusion. Think Scratch Perry and Joe Meek clashing with Low End Theory and ‘08 beats."

Get it from the label direct or at your local mom & pop store!

GyalCircuit Cassette Single

Boomarm Nation is proud to present SEEKERSINTERNATIONAL's GyalCircuit,

the lead single to the forthcoming full length LP, “HER.IMPERIAL.MAJESTY",

due out worldwide June 16, 2015.

We set things off in fine style with the minimalist bubblers meditation of the title track, GyalCircuit. Cosmic, hypnotic and ready to smash up the dance, SKRS creates a swirling framework built from analog synths firmly grounding a weightless looped deejay toast, exposing the embers of SKRS unique brand of sound system music.

The B side finds Boomarm Label boss GULLS in dub conference along side SKRS, together creating a burned out overdriven VERSION. Replacing the stark, implied spaces of the original with a pummeling 4x4 kick drum and looping sub bass, piled high amidst classic SKRS "bruk" vocal chops and cosmic throws to towers of tape delay and spring reverb.

This is SKRS and Boomarm Nation’s ode to all the Universal Gyal them. Get with this!

SKRSxMX7xMYSTERYFORMS presents theShopApprentice

     The long-standing relationship between SKRSINTL and the Internal Circuitry Studies (ICS) faculty bears fruit once again!  This time: a triplex collaboration between SKRS, AgentMX7 and MYSTERYFORMS taking the form of a limited edition poster+tape+digital super combination punch, entitled...

theShopApprentice

     In celebration of the seeker in us all - working through inertia and circumstance, fatigue and doubt, poor weather and low signal strength, in efforts to raise our antenna and tune in to His Master's Voice.  Taking a page from one such soul apprentice's private journal entry, together we sing:

A hurried sip of dark tea and I'm out!
Pedalling off into my small shop corner of the galaxy,

Multiple sunsets away, another work day awaits.

In the charged dim light, the Master's song 

Intertwines with soldering fumes; 

and after a friendly exchange,

The repair work begins:

Re-routing faulty signal paths;

Deoxidizing rusted contacts; Purging failed components - 

Anything that gets in the way of pure Electricity

I've yet to develop a steady hand at this tho;

I still tremble at Your mere presence.

How do I make the leap across open circuits?

     Available now on the always vital ICS Library Records imprint, each limited edition combo pack you purchase includes a signed and numbered two-colour Risograph poster by MYSTERYFORMS and an exclusive 6-track EP on cassette and digital by SKRSxMX7.  All proceeds go to the ICS Arts, Crafts and Livelihood Program for Cultivated Living, an essential ICS initiative to help put food on artists' tables, cover portions of their sometimes impressive electricity bills, while continuing to make their works accessible and available to you and the community.  Thank you for your support.

     Original illustration and poster design by MYSTERYFORMS.  Edition of 70.  Two-colour, three-pass Risograph print on 11in x 15in, off-white, 80 lb. drawing paper.  Lovingly printed by Erica at Moniker Press.   The inherent limitations/beauty of Risograph printing causes each edition to align and register colours slightly different from one another (see photo above);  each edition resulting as a unique print - no two posters are ever identical!  Signed and numbered by the mystery man himself.

     Straight head-to-head circuitry clash by SKRSxMX7 on tape.  Recorded directly in-campus at ICS' Drumalie Ave Television and Radio Research and Repair Lab.  Six tracks deep, each tape side is essentially a nine-minute suite in three movements.  Professionally duplicated in Eastern Canada on high-bias TDK SA cobalt cassette tape (better than Chrome!).  Cover photography & design by MYSTERYFORMS.

ROOTPRINCIPLE on Bristol's NoCornerTapes!

...it's SKRS in a parallel roots tradition!

Machete pon left and a dagger pon the right

The seeker sets about on an inner pilgrimage

Hacking thru a dense tangle of circuit overgrowth and corrosion

The lush canopy, seen from above

Belies the dread and danger lying-smiling in wait within

Lions in sentinel; challenging those who profess their fidelity

Steel horn speakers call from towers on high while

Drum rumbling from a distance approach

Where time cuts to the chase, notions leave no trace...

Lost and Found 45s Vol.1

Recent flash floods in Metro Manila continue to cause 

miscellaneous debris and forgotten material to resurface with the tides - 

like elements of the murky subconscious rising up for reckoning

A covert envoy to the Philippines has brought us back

one such washed-out and encrusted artifact:  a mystery recording

we have aptly (re)titled Lost & Found Vol.1

Zig-zagging its way thru caverns inna u area

Echoing spaces shrouded in tape deterioration and dust;

Patient in its unfolding; A Stealth Sound Murderation

With zero information on its roots and origins,

We the listeners are spared from relying pon trivial data for orientation

Having now only the Sound to contend and deal with in its rawest form

Limited edition of 300 hand-numbered records on stark ghost-white vinyl

Original label art by artist/collaborator MYSTERYFORMS

Hand-stamped paper sleeves.  Made in the Philippines.

{editor's note:  Digi versions were recorded from the original test pressings, capturing and preserving all the lovely grit and nuanced materiality of vinyl.  Not all 300 copies survived the floods, however.  Others were warped, cracked and/or moulded beyond repair.  Collectors and music-lovers, reserve yours direct.  A kind thank you to ZamZam Sounds for reminding us about this once-lost recording! }
