April 11, 2006 For those of you interested in buying actual records, cassettes, and CDs... your day is here. Our paypal shop is back online. So buy some of Andrew Mckenzie's Hafler Trio fare or tell your friends too. March 25, 2006 Finally slapart introduces its famed line of videos. This was always an intention of slapart - to include freely downloadable artist videos as well as mp3s, but we were always running out of bandwidth and megabytes to do it. Now thanks to Google Video those concerns are over. Please enjoy Forces of Nature #2 (Lava) which is downloadable here at Google Video. March 23, 2006 A long road back to a new hosting provider. And you thought the internet was free! October 15, 2004 Lots new to download. Made-not-Found, CCI, DJ Sheild. Be sure to listen while you research your vote. Don't believe Bush or Kerry? Just fact check 'em. October 1, 2004 Check out the new DJ Sheild. It's called Pirate Radio Broadcasts, Vol. 1. It's awesome. And at 55 minutes, it's the longest slap release to date. Listen to it here. August 20, 2004 The h3o are up to something crazy next week in London. If anyone can explain to me how the address system in the UK works, write to me PLEASE! What does NW1 6XT mean? August 7, 2004 new releases from n.kra and chefkirk... Archive.org has 'em... Canteen Dummy Architect Dream and Clear cutting July 19, 2004 The 'official' press release begins to be sent about concerning Slapart's recent vinyl release of the Hafler Trio's OCNENRTCTAED PCTRREAUING FO TTHUGO. June 30, 2004 All the pre-orders for the Hafler Trio's "The Concentrated Recapturing of Thought" have been shipped. Please let us know if you encounter any problems receiving them. I am happy to report that efficiencies in our shipping process have allowed us to reduce the cost for shipment in America to $4.50 per item. Unfortunately, I cannot reduce the costs for international orders. For distribution, contact me. June 25, 2004 Recently added to the collection at archive.org... Items one through four in our illustrious slaptape series available for download/stream NOW. Each of the four releases were constructed specifically for cassette release. Composers considered the length, dynamic range, and tape hiss of the format. And I believe the results are quite remarkable. eM and v.stevenson offer up some finely tailored experimental electronics, while Jeremy Carter (hand-crafted bass and guitar) and n.kra (prepared guitar and vinyl) go the improv route. June 18, 2004 For those interested in the Hafler Trio release I have obtained 8 copies of the dekorder 10" THE BIRDS MUST BE ELIMINATED. Another beautifully packaged 10" from Andrew McKenzie and the perfect companion to the Slapart release, The Concentrated Recapturing of Thought. Order them both now! See the shop for details. Also, the pre-order special for the Slapart release is about to expire, so act now. June 11, 2004 The Hafler Trio record has arrived. However, the Homeland Security Dept. requires that I put a ton of little stickers on them that say "product of czech rep" before I can distribute them. Not only that but I have to cart all 500 of them back to the airport with the stickers on them as proof. Ah terrorism! Ah capitalism! June 1, 2004 re-release of our compilation on mp3 at archive.org . 20th mp3 release. Go to Notype. May 17, 2004 slapart is proud to announce the release of our first physical product, a hafler trio 10", The Concentrated Recapturing of Thought, limited edition 500 copies, released sometime in the not too distant yet still remote future. Clear virgin vinyl. With a design and insert also by h3o. Pre-order now. February 2, 2004 Thank Archive.org for allowing our catalog of online releases to once again be made available to the public.
