Loose Talk Costs Lives is launching their single on MONDAY DECEMBER 6TH with an exhibition by our friend VENTRAL IS GOLDEN. If you get the chance, go check it out.
Me Gusta is Sean Paul Richards and Dominic Lopez, and they are a Bay Area based Hip Hop/Electronic production duo. They are 19.
"Me Gusta manipulates sounds from the heart to create tracks that provoke the mind.
Formed in early 2008, Me Gusta began making music on an outdated Macintosh computer wired to a boombox. From these humble beginnings, they were able to yield their first string of hits, which included Liu Kang, Megadrive, and Touchdown.
Over the next 2 years, Me Gusta was able to release a steady flow of original tracks and remixes, including two remix compilations ( respectively titled Remixtape Vol. 1 & Remixtape Vol. 2) to great public acclaim.
Now 2010, with 2 years in the making, Me Gusta is creating more music than ever and is ready to take things to an entirely different level.
Currently working on new music for immediate release, as well branching out into other creative projects, such as a personal thought & image blog (http://megusta408.tumblr.com), Me Gusta has also announced that a new compilation of music is to be released via digital download and limited CD/cassette pressing before the Summer of 2010.
Me Gusta is coming straight out of the Bay Area with a flavor all their own and taking the music world by storm.
The call has been made for something more, and Me Gusta is here to answer."
"Oblivion Records was started by OB15 as a small-scale label implying DIY fundamentals of hardcore/punk ethic as a movement to support and expose local and foreign artists/bands, thus helping them spreadd thier music in a way they prefer - seen by the current scene in the music industry, it's quite common for there to be a struggle for bands with potential undiscovered talent really getting what they want. Therefore OBLIVION RECORDS hopes to give it back to all, bands/artist you are the boss. Refraining from usual major label concepts, the label does not condone or assign any contracts, but instead builds a relationship upon a strong trust condition basis.
OB15 put in the interest by doing handmade/silkscreen CD packaging & had been doing freelance graphic design for bands/labels/shows since 2004. OB15 got influenced into art/design & music via his passion for skateboarding. Skateboarding changed his perception of his surroundings. Nothing seems to be far-fetched in building positive pillars in friendship, sincerity, trust and respect between bands/artists & the label. OB15 strongly believe that DIY/independent labels stands out. It's a matter of cohesive bonds that help to create a positive living."
OB15 is Taufek Asmarak who is also a member of the band ERFARA
