CONTAGIOUS - Contagious

"Contagious is a solid blending of avant-garde experimentation and electronic music formed by two innovative voices from the improvisation scene of Berlin (Andrea Neumann and Sabine Ercklentz) and Mieko Suzuki, a well-respected and creative DJ and musician who's been operating in Berlin venues and festivals for a long time. Contagious is one of the most forward thinking, mind-melting projects to hit the electronic music scene. Intense and powerful, yet rooted in a tradition of crafting and sculpturing in the most creative ways, all of this is built up within a solid structure of instant composition and improvisation. The trio plunder each other's musical spheres, appropriate them and switch roles. Andrea Neumann performs on her infamous Inside Piano, an instrument she pioneered and crafted, applying the most creative feedback processing to simple piano strings and sending them occasionally to Mieko Suzuki's processing rig, who also uses her own pre-recorded sounds and her skills on turntables, while Sabine Ercklentz's trumpet sounds blast through her processing system. Together, the three musicians communicate a strange logic of composition and futuristic structures, where fragile sound textures and pulses become monumental. Contagious is their debut album, recorded and produced by Rabih Beaini. The trio wanders in new aesthetic areas; sound is a texture where the processing rigs are constantly developing new forms and evolutions -- structures and grooves implode in noisy fragments, growing into a deep trance state." - Morphine Records .

After nearly a decade of false starts, multiple game plans veering off the rails, and a handful of shattered hopes and/or dreams, the odyssey is finally complete—the new Fusetron site is here.

This is the first phase of a multipart rollout that will span the next few months: the currently browsable stock includes miscellaneous new releases from the past 8+ months (we have a lot of catching up to do), plus approximately a third of our backstock. Note that we’ve reduced/slashed prices on many titles and will continue to do so in order to make room for new stock. We’ll also be expanding / tweaking / improving / debugging the site itself (for example, we still have work to do on the automated international postage system, not to mention the inevitable inventory discrepancies that come with transferring an ancient and massive database to a new system).

Over the next few months, as we take inventory, clean house, and delve into our storage, we will be uploading thousands of additional items, gradually, on a near-daily basis. This will include the majority of the LPs, as well as many titles, in all formats, once thought long-gone. Many currently “sold out” items are likely to resurface.

Finally, once our general backstock is up (probably in the next two or three months) we’ll begin making our extensive stockpile of rarities available online for the first time: tons of random out-of-print titles, "deadstock," warehouse finds, secondhand collectibles, etc., accumulated over the past few decades.

Frequent/returning customers will be getting early access to these items. Details to follow on how this will work (a priority mailing list? a 'frequent flyer'-like program?), but it will not be based on dollars spent. We want to reward those who consistently support us, especially in the discogs marketplace era (to those who show up trying to poach five copies of a one-off rarity, and nothing else, ever… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).

So—we suggest you take some time to dig through the site—even we’ve been surprised by what’s been turning up, and there’s much more to come.
