Void News: Sept. 2011

Split operations between Oakland, CA and Detroit, MI in 2011 have been a bit of a rollercoster ride, with lots of new resources and developments at every turn.  High points have included our big party with Somatic Responses in West Oakland, Form and Structure digital releases from Jstat and Killx9, and of course one silly amazing campout session now known to the history books only as 'La Petite Mutante".   It's been a minute since the last void news, so let's catch up!

In this Void News
	--- Form and Structure 003 - Jstat: Reaction Formation - Out Now!
	--- Somatic Responses Party Recap
	--- Sister Project: Wildflowers of Detroit
	--- Upcoming Releases

>>>>  Jstat :: Reaction Formation - Free Download

Jstat is John Leonard, and he's been busy this year.  You may know him through his budding career as a graphic designer, or possibly through this work with the Imagination Station on a certain Robocop Statue, but anyone hanging around Void for the last 5 years knows that his deep work has been in the studio.  Form and Structure #3 catches up on a vast catalog of unreleased material, contrasting the brooding Reaction Formation with a slammin' broken techno delivery via Positive Feedback Loop.  One of the core contributors to Void's sound, Jstat moves the dancefloor with hybrid rhythms only Detroit can produce.  With slick album artwork provided by Ogo Eion and high quality digital mastering by Ryan Friederich aka Xanopticon, Form and Structure delivers once again.  It's time to lend this one an ear…

>>>> Somatix Party

Yup it's true, we rocked it pretty hard with Somatic Responses out here in the bay.  Definitely one of out largest scale undertakings to date, it all came together with huge sound in a warehouse in West Oakland.  We packed the lineup with Void Tactical artists and friends, featuring WMX, Intergalacterrorist, Dimentia, Intoner, Wet Mango, Exillon, Vankman, and Xanopticon, rocked it until 5am and have a blast showing Somatixs around the Bay Area.  Several of the sets are available on, you guessed it, http://soundcloud.com/voidtacticalmedia   Some video of the event was also captured, which you can dig into here: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/15885567   Cheers to everyone that participated, and special thanks to Pansophia, Organsm, and all behind the scenes operators - you know who you are!


>>>> Special Announcement : Wildflowers of Detroit

We'd also like to let Void Tactical Media followers know about a special project some of us are working on.  Less of a music project, but tactical media all the way, Wildflowers of Detroit is a community technology project for cataloging wild plants growing in Detroit, a way of celebrating all the best of Detroit's open spaces, the byproduct of post-industrial visage that has inspired many of Void Tactical's releases and concepts.  Check http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/winterroot/wildflowers-of-detroit to read more, help spread the word, and do consider backing the project!


>>>> Upcoming Releases
VTCL002 (Dimentia / Split Horizon) is in the mastering phase, and yes yes we KNOW there are some releases that you've been waiting on for some time, in particularly the Little Mack and the Adjust CD's as well as digital releases in the hopper for Intergalacterrorist and Redrot.   Rest assured they are coming quite soon, and in the meantime reference the aforementioned rollercoaster of operations this year!!
