I wouldn't be surprised if there were people camped out in the street for this release. Yes, you read right....the debut single from The Recovery Club - "Rest and Be Thankful" is finally available right here on Antimatter.

The single is available as a strictly limited edition CD (100 numbered copies) and digital download. Digital downloads are available in a variety of different formats.

Check out The Recovery Club's debut release in full here.

We're pleased to announce a rather special addition to the Antimatter roster in the form of London based Lazy Lion.

It is difficult to describe Lazy Lion's sound. Take hip-hop, grime, or rap and tear up the rules, then stick the all three in a blender. It isn't so difficult to describe quite how good this band are - Lazy Lion just bubble with talent.

The band released their "L.L" EP back in December 2009 and are now hard at work on their debut LP. Their recent live gigs have impressed and distressed in equal measure.

Definitely a band to watch....stay tuned !

The special edition digital download release of Cinephile's 'Better Said is now fully available from through all ususal digital networks including iTunes, Amazon, Napster etc.

For those of you who have been enjoying our multi format download system, you can still pick up your choice of AAC, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis and more in the Antimatter shop.

Tonight sees the return of our new concept night Musicbox at The Universal, Sauchiehall Lane, Glasgow.

Musicbox is an eclectic evening with the focus firmly fixed on audio/visual collaboration. We have four bands playing live on the night, each are whom are accompanied by the work of a different photographer.

Each photographer has had a month to soak up the music and shoot a sequence of photos as a visual representation of that band's sound, which will be projected live on the night. Four bands, four photographers. Good isn't it ?

So, if you fancy something genuinely different get yourself down to The Universal tonight. A mere £4 for what might just be one of the best nights you've had in a long time....

You know, when Sunday feels like it should be Friday ? or you need a holiday to get over the holiday ? Wouldn't it be good if you could check into some kind of recovery club ?

Look no further ladies and gentlemen....it is with great pleasure that we introduce you to the newest addtion on the Antimatter roster - The Recovery Club.

These Glasgow based songsmiths have risen steadily from humble beginnings writing and recording in the front room of a Finnieston tenament to holding court as the opening act for bands such as Aberfeldy and The Hidden Cameras.

Often haunting, sometimes quirky, yet always memorable, their 'twisted torchlight' songs hold a special something for everyone. The band release their debut single 'Rest and Be Thankful' right here on July 5th.

So if you need time to recover, better join their club....

You might remember we debuted a brand new audio/visual event back in May called Musicbox. Initially intended to be a one off, it was so successful that we've decided to do it all again. Musicbox returns to The Universal on June 3rd.

Remember the concept ? We've got 4 cutting edge bands playing on the night. Add to that 4 photographers, each of whom have been assigned to a band and had a month to shoot their visual interpretation of that band's sound.

On the night each band will play their set accompanied by the live projections of their assigned photographer. Think of it like a static film. A haunting picture storybook.

So who's playing ? Well, this time around we've got the combined talents of Call To Mind, Error Response, Cracks In the Concrete, and Nomogram. Visuals are courtesy of Ruan Suess, Awai David Wan, Erin Hardee, and Parallax.

Looks like another great night. All the more reason not to miss out. Advance tickets are on sale now. Simply click on the link below and change the quantity to suit. You will be purchasing an e-ticket, so all you need to enter the event is your name and PayPal linked e-mail address.

The previously unavailable track was released as a special edition digital download on May 3rd in advance of tonight's broadcast. The two track single also features 'Undone' and is available in a variety of digital formats via the shop.

We are pleased to announce that 'All Is Vanity', the debut album from recent signing Lamplighter is now available.

If you appreciate intelligent alternative electronica with a contemporary hip hop slant, don't miss this. The nine track album encapsulates Lamplighter's deep and unique sound.

Last week's album launch was a packed out affair. If you didn't manage to make it down, get the next best thing - 'All Is Vanity' available now in the Antimatter shop.

A special edition digital release of Cinephile's 'Better Said' is now available to coincide with the song's inclusion in the CSI: NY episode 'Unusual Suspects' which airs on CBS next Wednesday in the United States at 10pm ET/PT.

The two track single also includes 'Undone'. Both of these previously unavailable tracks are now available as a digital download in your choice of high quality mp3, FLAC, AAC, or Ogg Vorbis format directly from the Antimatter shop.

Cinephile's 'Better Said' has just been licensed for use in the forthcoming CSI: New York episode 'Unusual Suspects''Tales From The Undercard' (series 6, episode 20) which airs in the United States on May 5th (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS network.

The band are currently hard at work in the studio on their new album, which is due for release Autumn 2010.

On Monday 10th May we will be releasing the debut album 'All Is Vanity' from Edinburgh based producer Lamplighter.

Lamplighter (aka Robin Legge) is the most recent signing to Antimatter. His unique hip hop driven electronic is both haunting and memorable in equal measure. Lamplighter's recent appearance at our Musicbox concept night back in May was widely considered to be the best performance of the night, proving his live talents equally impressive.

To celebrate the release of 'All Is Vanity' we are holding an album launch at Glasgow's La Cheetah club on Queen Street. Lamplighter will be playing live on the night, with supporting performances from Cheer and Noma.

The launch night starts at 9pm, with the first live act on at 9:30pm. Tickets are £3 and available on the door.

Bored of TV ? Nothing on at the cinema ? Worry not....as we've finally gotten our act together and created the all singing all dancing Antimatter YouTube Channel.

The first video we have posted is a glimpse of Lamplighter at work as he plays his last track from our recent Musicbox event at The Universal in Glasgow on March 4th.

So, head on over to YouTube and check it out. Feel free to comment. Further videos will be added very soon....

Well....we thought it'd be good but we didn't think it'd be just quite so good. Last Thursday's Musicbox went down a storm at The Universal - a brilliant night indeed !

We'd like to thank everyone that came down on the night, great to see such a turn out. Thanks to all the punters and performers....we couldn't have done it without you....

We've got a history of running collaborative/co-operative music events with the emphasis on the unusual. Our last outing was a while ago, back with the second instalment of Genre Is A Dirty Word at Glasgow's G12 in May 2009.

These kind of events are notoriously difficult/expensive to put together, hence the lack of regularity. That said, time is a healer, and we've had plenty of that to recharge and make some new plans for 2010....

Our next live event is Musicbox, which takes place in The Universal in Glasgow on Thursday 4th March. Musicbox is a new audio/visual night with a bit of a twist. There are 4 bands on the bill....and 4 photographers.

Each photographer is pre-assigned to a band with the task of shooting their own unique visual interpretation of that band's sound. On the actual night, each photographer will project their work as a sequence of visual projections to accompany their band's live performance.

The concept might be interesting, but the line up is truly eclectic. Playing live on the opening night we have none other than The Recovery Club, Engine7, Paul McLinden, and Lamplighter. Meanwhile, joining us from behind their viewfinders are the photographic talents of Kat McDonald, Gavin Inglis, Gingiber, and Retrogoth.

It's looking like it'll be a great night so we hope you can make it along. Door times and ticket info to follow.....

As you will undoubtedly be aware, Haiti was struck by a massive earthquake on Tuesday this week. The disaster has brought death and massive destruction to what is the poorest country in the western hemisphere.

Current estimates suggest that the death toll could be as high as 100,000 yet the number of those affected in the aftermath of the earthquake may run into the millions.

Whilst we know it's only a small gesture in respect of the scale of the disaster, we've decided to give all proceeds from both our physical and digital sales for the month of January to the Haiti appeal via the Disaster Emergency Committee. Please do whatever you can to help.

For more information about the Haiti appeal, or to donate directly please visit the DEC website here.

A belated Happy New Year to you all. Here's hoping you had a good one and that hangover is almost away !

The year has kicked off quickly for us. Fully expecting the world not to properly wake up until next Monday, we were delighted to receive the masters for the forthcoming Yuko Shiina release 'Walking With Ghosts' in amongst the post this morning.

Yuko's original demo was stunning, but we never thought the finished results would be just quite as good as this....

'Walking With Ghosts' will be released on February 22nd.

As 2009 exhales it's final breaths and a shiny new decade creeps upon us it is time for an update and the final anti-blog post of the year.

Firstly, welcome to the long overdue new website. We've been up and running officially for a few years now so the original website was starting to show it's age. We've still got some bits and pieces to do but everything should be a little smoother and less clunky. Feel free to explore....

Next, we're pleased to announce two new signings to the Antimatter roster. Joining us from the far east is Tokyo based experimental artist Yuko Shiina. Yuko is the first international signing to the label and will be releasing her beautiful debut with us on February 22nd. To read more about Yuko, please check out her profile.

Another addition to the Antimatter roster is London based alternative outfit One Black Sunday. Whilst we don't want to give too much away we can tell you that the producers behind this new pseudonym have been at the forefront of the UK music scene for almost 20 years now. We are both privileged and excited to be involved with this new project and look forward to the first release. More on OBS here.

So, that's it for 2009 folks. See you next year !
