It's been a crazy couple of weeks...After Paris
& Amsterdam...Chromatics flew from London to Australia for two weeks of
festivals...Then Natty & I hopped on a plane from Brisbane...to
Singapore...to Abu Dhabi...landing in Berlin 30 hours later in time to have
breakfast with Ida...Symmetry played our first showt hat night opening up for
Glass Candy in Berlin at Karl Lagerfeld's book release party...Patron with
Oko...then Night Flight to Quebec...Brazil in the morning...Glass Candy throws
a party in Sao Paulo for Bazaar's birthday. After looping the globe
twice...We're finally back in Montreal for one of my favorite times of year.
It's the end of Autumn, & all of the Reds, Greens, & Yellows have
disintegrated into Black & White. Everything is buried by the snow...Perfect
weather for locking yourself in the studio with a synthesizer & your
favorite records...I put together a collage of songs that, for one reason or
another...always remind me of Autumn.
Something Old.
Something New.
Something Borrowed.
Something Blue.
In other news...The last couple of mixes for After
Dark 2 are finally done. Five years in the making...Wow! It seems like a blurry
dream. I just got the fully remastered test pressings for "BEATBOX"
& the first "AFTER DARK" today via Canada Post. We're doing limited
runs on Crystal Clear Vinyl with foil covers. We are also adding two new
beautfiul Chromatics T Shirts & a hot new "After Dark 2" T Shirt into
the store in a few days...XS,S,M,L,XL...and if you live in the southeast...Make
sure you catch our last party of the year. Chromatics in Miami For Art Basel
next week.

Beautiful!
Chromatics covering Joy Division?
Awesome.
Great news all around!
One question- Why did beatbox and after dark 1 need remastering? Major changes from the first release? All analog? Just curious.
WE NEVER MASTERED THEM...THEY WERE RELEASED AS DEMOS THAT EXPLODED ONTO THE SCENE...THEY ARE ALL ANALOG MASTERS FOR THE VINYL...THE FIRST BEATBOX CDRS WERE JUST FOR TOUR...SAME AS AFTER DARK...AT THE TIME...WE DIDN'T REALIZE THEY WERE GOING TO BE MASS PRODUCED...NOW WE MASTER EVERYTHING...EVEN DEMOS. BECAUSE THE MUSIC IS SPREADING SO FAR AND FAST. TRACK LISTS ARE THE SAME. WE JUST FIGURED SINCE WE WERE REPRESSING THEM ANYWAYS...MAY AS WELL GET THEM ALL PIMPED OUT. : )
hey guys, why don't you release a LP/EP/wathever with covers?
kate bush, neil young, new order,....
my turntable needs it!
Great mix!
A covers record would be awesome!
Thanks for the mastering info IDIB. You guys are top notch.
Please play a show in Montreal...or Toronto...
Can you make this version of Dans Mes Reves available please?
Can you make this version of Dans Mes Reves available please ??? :)
Can you make this version of Dans Mes Reves available please ??
Are analog masters a bad thing? I'm asking because I like the current BEATBOX sound, and I'm not sure what to expect from the remaster.
all that touring must be really tough!
WE'RE GENTLE WITH OUR MASTERING...EXPECT A SLIGHTLY MORE COHESIVE TONAL SPECTRUM...WITH A LOUDER VINYL VOLUME...IT WILL SOUND LIKE THE FREQUENCIES "WOKE UP" OR "CAME TO LIFE" A BIT MORE...AND WITH A LITTLE MORE BUMP IN THE TRUNK. DON'T WORRY...NOT GOING TO SOUND LIKE THE RADIO OR A TV COMMERCIAL...JUST A SUBTLE FINESSE SPECIFICALLY FOR YOUR TURNTABLE. AND WE AGREE...BEATBOX IS PRETTY MUCH UNTOUCHABLE. : )
WE ARE WORKING ON A RELEASE OF SOME RARE DESIRE TRACKS...SO THIS DANS MES REVES WILL COME OUT IN THE NEW YEAR. ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF MONTRE MOI TON VISAGE RECORDED IN DECEMBER 2008 AND NEVER RELEASED...ALTERNATE MIXES OF DON'T CALL, UNDER YOUR SPELL, AND TEARS FROM HEAVEN...PLUS A COUPLE OF BEAUTIFUL INSTRUMENTALS THEY DID WITH THE STRING TRIO. REALLY REALLY NICE STUFF. XO
A COVERS RECORD....INTERESTING....I'M ON FIRE, BLUE MOON, INTO THE BLACK, CEREMONY, RUNNING UP THAT HILL, HANDS IN THE DARK....PLUS CHROMATICS RECORDED VERSIONS OF THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, ROLLING STONES, AND IGGY POP THAT WE'VE NEVER RELEASED...SHOULD WE TRY TO DO A LIMITED MAILORDER LP? LET US KNOW...THIS COULD BE COOL. AND WE ARE STILL WORKING ON THAT I WANT YOUR LOVE 12" FOR EARLY NEXT YEAR. XO
can't wait to order all the new records you're releasing ,plus, I'd buy the covers LP without any doubt, can I choose the color? :D
If you released a covers record, it will sell out and make history. Do it.
HA HA...WHAT COLOR DO YOU SEE IN YOUR MIND?
mmm... for some unknown reason your music makes my brain think in red. haha
I will purchase everything you release on vinyl! Covers album for sure even though I already have them already. Thank you for the music! My favorite label with the best music ever!!!
Awesome! I cant wait!
Don't forget to include the SCREAMERS cover :)
I WANNA HURT.....
a covers records sounds good, I want my copy please :)
P.S. are you selling posters again?
I'll buy any record you put out! A covers record would be smashing. That or After Dark 2 =D
just out of curiosity, which Velvet Underground and Stones songs did you cover? :D very excited about the possibility of a covers record!
AFTER HOURS BY THE VU & PLAY WITH FIRE BY THE STONES....BOTH ARE INCREDIBLE!
just received the desire LP - love you guys!
cover LP sounds great, would love to see that happen in the future....BUT...please put out AFTER DARK 2 first :D i can't f*ckin wait!
by the way, what about an after dark 1 remastered repress?
AFTER DARK 1 TRIPLE LP ON CRYSTAL CLEAR VINYL COMING WITH BEATBOX REMASTER ON CRYSTAL TOO. DON'T WORRY....THE PRIORITY IS AFTER DARK 2. WE'RE GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER.... COMING SOONER THAN A LOT OF PEOPLE PROBABLY THINK. : ) VINYL REPRESSES WE WILL SEE IN JANUARY BECAUSE OF THE WHOLE PLANT SHUTTING DOWN FRO CHRISTMAS ETC...ALSO GOING TO PRESS A MAILORDER ONLY VERSION OF THE AMAZING "RUNNING FROM THE SUN" LP....AND THE COVERS THING...JOHNNY STARTED PLAYING WITH ARTWORK IDEAS....AND THE I WANT YOUR LOVE 12"....LOT'S OF THINGS IN EARLY 2013...STILL WRAPPING UP THE FARAH LP AND THE FRED VENTURA LP TOO....WORK WORK WORK....BUT LIKE WE SAID, AFTER DARK 2 IS THE PRIORITY. WE ARE SO PROUD OF THIS COMPILATION! XO
Thanks for the update.
Any idea on GC's Bodywork vinyl eta?
so happy to hear that the Covers LP is going to be a reality!! :D...
Ok, after reading all of the releases that are coming up, I'm starting to save money right now!
Can't believe you guys came here to Sao Paulo for a closed party! I'm such a huge fan and lost the opportunity to see you live! Hope you come back for a full concert!
Tim form Liverpool said...
Given that I missed you guys in London how about a live Chromatics LP?......to keep me warm until you finally play in Manchester or Liverpool???
Or an After Dark2 launch over here?
Music....No one does it better than IDIB.
Love you guys
Any idea when the store is going to show After Dark 1, BEATBOX, and the Ts in stock?
"Follow JOHNNY JEWEL, 50 Cent, ArsTechnica and more on SoundCloud."
the new soundcloud layout is confusing me
Thanks for the mix!
THE NEW SOUNDCLOUD IS A LITTLE HARD TO NAVIGATE ON...THEY CHANGED IT WITHOUT US KNOWING. T SHIRTS WILL BE IN THE STORE ON MONDAY....THEY JUST ARRIVED IN LOS ANGELES YESTERDAY. WE'RE IN MIAMI FOR ART BASEL AND SAW THE SAMPLES...THE LOOK AMAZING! VINYL REPRESSES WON'T BE HERE UNTIL THE NEW YEAR...EARLY JANUARY THEY ARE TELLING US. XO
Release that Lamuka Johnny Jewel edit plz.
GOOD IDEA...WE'LL MAKE A DOWNLOAD LINK IN A COUPLE DAYS OF LAMUKA, CEREMONY, DESIRE, SYMMETRY KRAFTWERK EDIT, ETC...ALL THE STUFF THAT WAS EXCLUSIVE JUST FOR THE MIX...STAY TUNED
That's awesome! I particularly loved the New Order and Kraftwerk edits. Looking forward to the cover album...
I really hope this covers record is realised in some form or another! I'm On Fire is incredible... but a Chromatics version of After Hours, my fave VU song? Best Xmas ever. Much Love X
when will Bodywork vinyl be available?
What happened to the Monday store update?
T SHIRTS ARE UP!!!!
every day without after dark2 is awful. make the pain go away. <3
what about "Cherry", is this wonderful song going to have its own vinyl release?
"WE'LL MAKE A DOWNLOAD LINK IN A COUPLE DAYS OF LAMUKA, CEREMONY, DESIRE, SYMMETRY KRAFTWERK EDIT, ETC...ALL THE STUFF THAT WAS EXCLUSIVE JUST FOR THE MIX...STAY TUNED"
Is this still going to happen, or did I miss it? can't wait!
hey, i was so excited to see chromatics in berlin but it was cancelled. any updates for revisiting germany so far?
Always you provide exclusive ideas for me, thank you
I love your pretty tastes and i will wait your next post
