coded music 006

on the next coded music release phobia, sato and tyronne joined their forces as chroma. good name! and i made the usual typo oriented sleeve for one colour print. the centers will be blue. fathom and falling down made me doing a deep water scene.

cloqworq 004

the social circles vol.2 ep is done. this time 4 tracks from 3 countries, so rekta asked me to stick to those countries with each side. i tried to add something solid and timeless (castles) and light (green and water) as the tunes aint that heavy.

heavy artillery 014

and here i roll with the second dream ep followed the first on heavy artillery uk. rossi b asked me to include a picture of dream himself on the designs, so the concept was to have a real-like and a dream-like side both in an abstract way drawn with wacom as usual.

heavy artillery 013

rossi b asked me to do the designs for his well known london based label, heavy artillery uk (including a new logo). of course i gladly accepted! so here is the forthcoming ep by the upcoming lad dream. you can catch a remix by him on subdepth`s first vinyl release which was also designed by me (i also posted it earlier). you will find filthy basswork, they smash the place every time i drop them. you are warned, now feel free to listen to the mini ep`s tunes below.



HEAVY013 Dream - I am Dream Pt. 1 (minimix) by Heavy Artillery UK

subdepth 004 - vandera (w/ dream rmx)

the bristolian dj prime`s digital label called subdepth is known to the scene. i made the initial designs to the first vinyl release and the label`s new logo in august 2010. we had to wait until now to a solid distro (bigup prime direct distr!) and here will come the first release quite soon by vandera and a remix by dream on the flip. at the moment i`m not sure if both sides would be punched on the sleeve or just the front as i designed originally in 2010 (altough in the meantime the cat.no. has become 004)





Vandera - Move On VIP [out now on Subdepth 12" b/w Dream Remix] by vandera

coded music 005

changing course. phobia asked a one-colour coded music artwork from now on to cut the costs. i like it as you have to be creative to work without colors. and the vinyls will always have a one/color print to the b/w cover. classic.

bokalp001 - von d - daydreaming lp

here comes the lp cover for von d`s album on boka you saw here earlier for sure... i don`t bother you with the cd cover and cd itself :) here is the sampler and the lp centers too.

bokalp001 - von d - daydreaming lp

finally finished the labels for boka records first lp by von d. watch out for the album if you are searching for something different on the dubstep tip. soulful and sweet stuff. feel free to check the sampler design too

boka035 - von d lp sampler

boka records have been thinking on asking graphics (the first real offer was chainsaw caligraphy remix ep) and at last it`s my pleasure to form a shape their milestone release! have been receiving dubplates from the very first releases, it`s a bit of homecoming to me, not to mention the fact that i have luck to design their very first album release! and above all, its the outstanding von d`s album. proper london-paris-budapest connection, isn`t it? well, here is the album sampler. i was asked to use only the photos they supplied so i started working on a theme based on two pieces. watch the rest later :)

immerse 027 - el kid

the new immerse design is a bit different, isn`t it? not sure about the release date and i only publish this post after the vinyl is in the shops :) just like the case of all immerse pixels. and yeh, finally i have a reliable and excellent working partner, a mackbook pro! i`m sitting in the buddhist center in immenstadt/germany on our way to switzerland and milano and i still can do urgent edits on print files. excellent! gives me a huge freedom factor, at last i don`t have to stick to any particular desk/flat during work..

tectonic 049 - addison groove

just got the honour to work for bristol`s most known dubstep label. i remember receiving dubplates from the head honcho pinch even before tectonic`s birth (ah, good old times) and i played with him a few years back so it was high time to drop a design to his label :) another stormer that it was done for two wicked tunes by addison groove! i only had to make a logo side and a texture to the text side, the text layout was made traditionally by pinch`s friend.

immerse025

the new bugged out immerse design for the good people

coded004

yet another typography treatment for newcastle based residents phobia, jubei and the famo. you know coded music designs are always about simplicity. i should have used the simple typo from the back but i like playing with moods, colors and wacom so i added something more complex to the front. funny as a true lover of less is more a part of mine just have used the two words with two colors on black...

immerse 024

another one for immerse. this time Brendon Moeller and Shigeru Tanaboo aka manaboo is the one who drops the bass. the title "delinquent" and "sound bwoy massive" made me doing something suburban where both subjects have something in common. the grainy and high contrast, dark tones brings gloomy mood (maybe my life affects besides a ghetto feel). in the opposite there are more vivid colors for a contrast and i found funny to have a bug wishing to shout out loud with a megafon. spent hours on it with my wacom as usual...

immerse 023

the next immerse release is quite cool by the newcomer arkist. on the desing i was refering to the titles as usual. a man couldn`t do something without a strong support by a woman. yeh, we are strong but we all know how important the partner`s presence in our life, right? :) so i switched the usual strong guy / vulnerable girl status with reason.

cloqworq 003

i`m back with one of my fave labels around. the antisocial posse is coming out strong with this double pack and they even haven`t started! expect heavy load of forthcomings here! i chose a western theme for this one as the lonely stars, duel heroes fighting for rights in abandoned places are epic and the titles are refering to the designs as usual... think the best is when you have the story, the theme and the conceptual layout (scenery on one, close up on an unknown person on the flip) and the atmosphere of course.

immerse 022

the next immerse release is a double pack and kontext (aka dissident) asked a mayan calendar theme. i added the crystal skull and another mayan statue plus the usual insects refering the tracks titles.

immerse 021

done with the next immerse release`s centers (fully drawn as usual). now i was focusing on the title "no pills" which made me remember to "there is no spoon" so i added pills. props to my mate simon/off to austria and respects to kidkut / immerse yet again.

immerse bags 2010

just finished the brand new disco bag for immerse records releases. well, at the end kidkut asked for two very similar designs, one for the singles and one for double packs. here they are, simple, deep, dark and filled with bugs as usual :)

cloqworq 002

just finished the design for the next cloqworq release. two deep cuts by kromestar and of course all drawn by my beloved wacom tablet. the next release will be a double pack with hot stuff!
