Ergo Phizmiz' upfree was featured on The Guardian's website, Isocore has been interviewed in a spot by NIKE, Tracky Birthday claims to be working on his second album (btw he just cleaned up his blog and created a facebook page, go "like" him), and Jacques Malchance seems to be the first Upitupper to get a record deal! His album "Arpologie" will be released on Strange Life Records (Legowelt's label) soon.
Jonas the Plugexpert released a free album on Arcoplane Recordings, I've heard even Bill Clinton already downloaded it. He's also working on an upitup album right now...
Roglok's music is featured in a wacky new iPhone game called "So Long, Oregon. Let's go find El Dorado".
Our friends at Shake Your Tree stayed busy as well and released the first three issues of their "Edition" series: each handprinted zine is divided into two parts and features the collaboration of an author with an illustrator (who previously meet, have dinner together and decide on a subject for their edition). The release party in Berlin was lots of fun even after the cops came and the owner unplugged the speaker in the middle of Tracky B's live show...
After all Berlin still is the capital of square! Poor cool people.
In the meantime Konrad Kuhn of Hyperground Radio made a nice dj mix on last year's 100th birthday of futurism (we never made that fanzine), go check it in!

About Upitup
Upitup has been releasing free music since 2003. Based in Rome, Stuttgart, and Liverpool, we initially just wanted to make our sounds accessible to the public. The idea was to create an open platform for sharing ideas and staying/getting in contact with people. We later realized we're running what's considered a netlabel.
Upitup remains completely uninfected by commercial interests - to the contrary, we love to see the music industry trying to catch up with new technologies while suffering from their self-imposed politics. We are proud to be able to supply our music for free.
Upitup?
The slogan "Up It Up!" can be comprehended as a battlecry of digital culture. Unless you "up something up to the network", it stays where it is, unshared (in your brain, on your pc etc.). To "up it up" equally means to "go for it", to "make it hot".
Still don't get it? See some photos of our live gigs.
Do we need to mention that you can also book us?
With artists all around our polluted globe, from Down Under to Uptown USA, we will turn any party into a raving disco fuss. Feel free to contact us about anything:
