Ok, So it's time for our yearly news. Clearly bloging is not the thing for us to be doing. We've been working on a movie!!!

This is very exciting and if you go to the web site you can learn all about it.

it's called The Little Cafe at the Edge of Eternity.

Check it out.

Also the next big news is that you can now get Samplistic music on iTunes, Mp3.com, Napster...and all those digital places. We've still got more albums coming, but for now, go to iTunes...you might find something interesting. Maybe even an Idiom Creak album you've never heard?

More updates will be coming but the web master has been swamped as he is also a part-time male model and has recently come into vogue. There are good, awesome breaks like this happening at Samplistic all the time.....After-all.....We break for rare breaks....ho ho. So, what's up? Well, we have the Assistant Green album just peaking it's unreal head around the corner, The (Scatter-Shot Theory member) Overturned Big Rig solo album called Beginners Luck, a Dark Keys Ep, a Mophopno Ep called I Cry, A group called "Of 1942"...and you never know what might be coming from that guy Idiom Creak. We just put together a sampler CD with new and old tracks from all these artists as a promo gift to go out with Disflex6's new release "Robot Dreams" And so on. Keep Checkin' in...Soon a new video from Idiom Creak will be on the Web. This time he has teamed up with colossal brave-new-world pre-postapocalyptic, illustrious artist Eatcho... to make god-knows-what. Eatcho is from Fresno....just thought we'd let you know, it's the new mecca of frustated art...guess why.

Keyboard Magazine featured a review of Idiom Creak's Room From Another Music this month. They call it "Some wonderfully strange music....[that] breaks out of the sound manipulation mold to create a unique universe...like the soundtrack to the strangest movie you've ever seen." In response Idiom Creak says: "I don't know what they're talking about; but I'll take it as a compliment." The magazine also adds "If David Lynch were to give up film making for deejaying, he would probably create something very much like this." We thank Keybord Magazine for the support.

Samplisit Records has made a National Distribution deal with Americans Are Coming Recordings though Burnside Distribution. Expect music to roll into stores around October 19th.

Idiom Creak's Room From Another Music has been reviewed by Grapevine Culture and we like it because it's well thought out and honest. Make no mistake about it; this is indeed a challenging album. Check it.

05.25.04
Idiom Creak's Room From Another Music moved up again from #19 in Hip Hop CMJ charts to #14;"That's real good." says Idiom Creak. Apparently, some people still consider that weirdo a B-boy, even though he's almost entirely disguised at all times.

05.06.04
Idiom Creak's Room From Another Music has moved up the CMJ charts this week from #10 to #7. We like this. Also, the S.F. Examiner has printed a small review of the album...click here for that. Thanks again to all college DJ's for rock-rule'n. Peace.

04.28.04
Idiom Creak's Room From Another Music. Debuts at #10 on CMJ RPM!"That's real good" says Idiom Creak. Thanks to all the radio DJ's out there who pay attention for making this a nice debut. Just wait till they hear Assistant Green ;). Hey, that's a good idea; maybe we'll send them a couple songs...to whet the appetite. Oh, also big-ups to KVMR for putting Idiom Creak at #1 this week.

02.02.04
Idiom Creak's new web site is up. BUT don't believe the hype about his "Official Secret". This is nothing more than wicked propaganda from another "tormented artist" in the music industry. Room From Another Music is a great album. We celebrate it. It is the only new Idiom Creak album there is. Anything else you've heard is just contrived label-bashing from an overly idealistic, emotional basket-case. Still, Idiom creak is a great artist and we appreciate his work.

01.26.04
Idiom Creak's Room From Another Music is now for sale on this web site and very soon a completely new web site for that album will be up. We hear it's great...but it's been kept under wraps, even from us...untill it's unavailing.

09.20.03
O.k. the cover art is finished and "Idiom Creak's Room From Another Music" will be going to the press soon. When and how will it be available? I bet this web site will be among the first to sell it. Let's watch and see.

09.05.03
The new Idiom Creak album will be a HDCD which means that audiophiles all over will be able to expedience the highest quality stereo available when listening to it on HDCD enabled CD and DVD players. The CD will still play on all normal CD players at the typical 16-bit rate, but those with these special players will get to hear the original master at its original 24-bits. What does all this mean? It's good...just trust us.

04.04.03
After 3 years Idiom Creak is almost finished with his next album "Room From Another Music". As the schedule looks, the CD should be available sometime in the next few months. We'll keep you posted as specific dates become more clear.

Welcome to the new Samplistic Records web site created for us by none other than the Flavor Innovator. As it seems, the emergence of Samplistic Records came almost out of necessity, a few years back, when Scatter-Shot Theory (Idiom Creak and Overturned Bigrig) did a remix for Beck which was licensed and released on Geffen Records. Samplistic had been quite the underground entity until then.

Today, with this web launch, we see a new era of Samplistic as well. We now have an online catalog with all our music for sale plus we've now made available t-shirts and stickers. This site also marks the official beginning of our Samplistic Street Team, which takes maters underground again, cutting out the needless middlemen and creating an entirely new type of "Artist-to-Fan" distribution. Read the street team info for the full details.

As far as current happenings here at Samplistic, we have been working hard and playing hard. We have released three new full-length albums in the last five months.

We have already had parties for both, our compilation called "The After Dinner Collection" (at DNA Lounge in SF, CA), and for the Nostalgic Progression album "Phonographic Timepod" (at DISC in Davis, CA), which were both wonderfully successful parties! So many people came out to see what we've been up; it was great to see such support.

The third release is Mr. Dark Keys album "Broken Record" which is available now from our online catalog. Send us your e-mail address in our newsletter form below and we'll keep you posted on Mr. Dark Keys' party as well as all our other happenings.

Also there has been quite the nice reception of our work in the college radio world. While Idiom Creak's Jet-Powered, Monkey-Navigated paved the way hitting #16 in both the CMJ categories Hip-Hop and RPM (electronic), the ears were warmed and ready for the recent releases of both "The After Dinner Collection" and for Nostalgic Progression. We've already seen NP on the charts, The After Dinner Collection has been added in many stations across the nation and who knows what we will be getting into when we do the send-out for the Dark Keys release!

In the future you can look forward to full-length albums from Overturned Bigrig, Assistant Green (Idiom Creak paired up with bay area vocalist Kirby Dominant) and a new album from Idiom Creak called "Room From Another Music". Plus an Idiom Creak DVD project is currently under way. To see some samples look at the Idiom Creak artist page.

If you have any suggestion or comments or you just want to get in touch with us, please drop a line. Thanks for listening. Peace.
