Digital Doings
April 10, 2006

In a week when Gnarls Barkley [Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse] gets straight to No 1 purely on the strength of downloads [It's that MySpace/Arctic Monkeys things again I'll bet - Mind you, that Zane Lowe ad must have helped!]. An Anglo/Italian band Planet Funk are preparing to release their next single solely for 3G download!

So its good to know that Bleep, now the UK's largest independent download store, representing over 300 labels, will be joining forces with Rough Trade to launch their new digital service this Autumn. The launch will form part of Rough Trade's 30th anniversary celebrations.

Bleep was originally launched by Warp, who now have their own digital presence. One of the labels represented on Bleep is Mike Paradinas' Planet Mu label, blurring the lines between Electronica, Jungle and Dubstep/Grime. Check out tracks from The Gasman: This One's For You album.

Good piece on downloads and the like from the Observer and I quite like these pieces by Eiji Aramaki. Strangely organic for something he describes as "semi-automatical composing based on machine learning methods".
