Research Deluxe Prepares A Diverse List Of Releases For 2009

2009 has been off to an excellent start at Research Deluxe. Much of the artist roster has been locked away in various studios around the Orlando, FL area, and have been preparing their latest creations which will be released this year.

The Students of Science have been nearing completion of their yet-to-be titled debut, chock full of laboratory oddities and surprises, and is due out in the spring of '09. The project is between an EP and LP at this point, and the last of the sessions will be completed this month at LeRoy Brown's Annex Room studio.

Abdias Garcia has been preparing his solo project for release, which is due out by mid-late '09, as well as working the breaks (under the pseudonym Ed Diaz) with Crates Anatomy, Tripleta, and all of the other spinoff projects between AG and the Research crew.... we've even heard the possibility of an AG / LRB collaboration for this year, but nothing has been confirmed as of yet. We'll keep you posted as this rumor develops.

As far as the spinoffs are concerned, The Tripleta Sessions went down at Full Sail as part of their Artist Series on Jan. 5, 2009. This one night occasion left the group with two new sessions to take back to the lab for mixing and will be released as an A / B single in the coming months.

Two weeks later, AG and the boys were down at Roho Cafe to do a few sets for the Art Walk series in downtown Orlando. The Roho set was followed by the 2nd installment of Good Look (Bikkuri Lounge) with Crates Anatomy, Stereo 77, and DJ Excel from Philadelphia

The Caltones have gone through some ups and downs trying to get the tracking schedule and location together for their new album, running through numerous studios and gear choices and have recently settled on the locale for tracking, which will begin in the coming weeks. We'll be sure to keep you posted on that as well.

Last but not least, we bring you the Crates Anatomy news. The group has scaled back on live performances over the last 3 months in order to sift through their 50+ hours of live shows from the summer of 2008, which will be used on an upcoming live compilation album. Session have also been in progress for their "world-flavored" ep, which will include distinct, regionally influenced selections from around the globe.... all set to the rhythm of a break.

A track from each of the upcoming releases as well as the rest of the roster will be featured on the Raw DLX compilation, the front runner for the 2009 release schedule. The compilation will be finalized and released in the next 2 months, so stay tuned for that.
