Everyone featured on the compilation has been offered their own release on the label - some will be doing that, others have signed to different labels. I'm working on my own material towards an album under the name Meemo Comma and the Ziúr album is coming soon as a co-release with Planet Mu. This year alone we have a footwork album from Jana Rush (her EP ‘MPC7635’ came out in 2016) and also an album from an artist, who I can only describe as weird folk (Vivienne, who also features on the compilation). I feel that the label will reflect my own tastes in the vast collection of electronic genres. What direction have you decided to take the label in since its inception? The process of setting a label up is very easy - it’s just having the time, inclination and sacrificing any money you have, although it's been fun to have more reasons to explore the exciting new artists emerging. I didn't know of any other labels doing this in electronic music and I felt, with my tools and contacts, I could give them an effective platform. I started Objects as a way to give a platform for women and non binary artists and show the amazing talent out there. Why did you decide to start Objects Ltd? How have you found setting up the label as a process? She likes music by other people and listens to it regularly.’Ĭheck the premiere of ‘Yr Love’, and read our Q&A with the label boss below. Her songs consist of singing and melodies played on instruments. Sometimes one song ends, and a new one begins. Every song has a beginning and then ends.
We’re premiering a cut from Berlin-based Islamiq Grrrls - and the press release sums it up better than we ever could: ‘Islamiq Grrrls makes music and uploads it to the internet. With all proceeds going to LGBT homelessness charity Albert Kennedy Trust and Black Lives Matter, she’s opted for digital-only due to the environmental impact of CD and vinyl production - which, she notes, disproportionately affects people of colour. The new compilation draws together a number of artists including Jana Rush, Eva Bowan, Ziúr and Lara herself under her Lux E Tenebris moniker. “We wanted to start 2017 right, so we decided to make a small difference by releasing ‘OBJECT: RESISTANCE’,” she’s explained. The Brighton-based producer launched the label last May, choosing to focus on the work of female-identifying and non-binary electronic producers. Without going into any more detail (because where would we end.) it's something that Lara Rix-Martin, one half of Heterotic and Objects Ltd label owner, is acutely aware of. Let’s be honest, 2017 hasn’t got off to the best start.
