Upitup.com 2012

Tracky has compiled a nice mix to get this whole work thing over with:
no more boring hours and hours of compiling Excel sheets or swinging Photoshop lassos, no more endless traffic jams or train rides – it's time for some serious Tricks, it's time for UPMIX14! Peppered with lots of clever mashups and ridiculous reinterpretations, this hour-long megamix is guaranteed to keep you entertained and spiritually balanced. Just look at the playlist...

Don't wait any longer, let the show begin!

Do it like Roglok, he's pumping UPMIX14 while building his very own DIY modular synthesizer.






Or Manuel "M-Boy" Buerger, who was getting inspired by the mix for designing this year's Transmediale identity including superglossy rainbow-reflective posters.
Or Jacques Malchance, who's been on the road touring Europe across Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Sweden together with music legend Charles Hayward while listening to Tricks... (Our first vinyl release by Union Jacques is already on sale in selected stores in the UK; top secret!)
Or what about Isocore, our curator-at-large who's basically been running Upitup for the past few months while singing to UPMIX14 in the shower....
Hasi Intl.™ who's been making art with a confidence he's got from enjoying Tricks on a daily basis...

Even Margherita loves it and so will you.




Yours truly,

the UIU team

2012 is the year of the Double Dragon…
and it's gonna be a kickass year here at the Upitup stage! 

We're starting it off with an awesome new free album by London based artist Benjamin Jackson.
"2" is a 6 track EP and his second release to date, after his fabolous first audiocassette release on his own label The Analogue Quadrant, Exhibit Cube has sold out (but I got one!)

"2" is the perfect follow-up to his previous effort, and brings his 'Sun Drenched Analogue Love Numbers' music to new heights. Download it here and share it with your relatives.

Second hot topic: our first 12" "Union Jacques - Dub Pets" is going to be released officially on Upitup on February 15th. However some copies have leaked our "Copyright +" controls and have been reported to be sold in a few spots all over Europe:

3b Records, Liverpool, IT
Alpacha Distro, Rome, IT
Re Mix, Rome, IT
Soul Food, Rome, IT

If you are hungry like the wolf, you now know where to go.

Last but not least, Subscribe to our all new Upitup Youtube channel, as our videomakers are producing more than ever. There is a lot to see, and there will be much more to come , a good tool to dig deep in our back catalogue and hear previews of future releases!! Better than the TV!

Beat 'em Up!

Dear masses,

Eight gr8 free albums and another wrinkle on our bottom is not such a bad result at the end of another dazzling year. Only the finest music by who we consider absolute top artists made it into our catalog this year: The Carrier Wave, The Courier, The Plugexpert, The Goon, The Cosmic Analog Ensemble, Mr. Birthday, and Mr. Atzeni kept our minds dirty and our hearts off beat. (Not to mention our beloved disc & mp3 jockeys who contributed some serious mixes: Vernon LeNoir, PP Roy, Captain Johnson, Jonas Natterer, Konrad Kuhn...)

We'd like to thank our supporters for helping us turn 2011 into a extraordinary and productive year. May your balls sweat sweet spring time flower smell.

We started 2011 with The Carrier Wave and so we're gonna finish 2011 with The Carrier Wave! Just in time for your impending new year's party mixtape here comes "Tears of Joy" with cover art by Becky Liddiard! I could bore you to death trying to describe the awesomeness of this release but instead i'll just make it easy for you figure it out yourself and show you a big fat download link like this:

====> C L I C K  H E R E !!! <===== ヘ(^_^ヘ)

(and enjoy the acid vibes!)

And that's it for starters. Here's our main courses:
1) The unofficial Union Jacques - "Dub Pets" vinyl pre-order has started! Write us if you're a cool person :) Official release is scheduled for February 15th 20yes12.
2) Jonas The Plugexpert's "Los" has just won the award for best Dutch free music release. Don't forget to get it if you haven't yet!
3) The lead singer of the Zombina and the Skeletons, Zombina herself,  made us an unmissable dj-set!, where "unmissable" means missing it is a misdemeanor.
4) Tracky was awarded a cease and desist christmas postcard from the legalese-enthusiasts at the New York Times for his tribute to the "Arts" section of the world famous toilet paper substitute in developing countries: what a christmas present!!!




That's all for 2011, see you in 2012, Mayas!
