I've stared a net label. WEFT Records.
"Two sets of thread or yarn make up a piece of woven fabric. During the weaving process the warp threads are stretched from the back to the front of the loom. The weft threads are inserted across the loom at right angles to the warp; the weft threads going under and over the warp threads."
Already available for download are two old Gusset EPs, Silencio and Skidmark, and the great new Housewarming EP by Jilk. And lovely it is too. Just the thing when you are kicking through the 5mm of snow.
More releases are planned. Demos are welcome, please email odd tracks or, if you have a whole EP, a link to gusset at gmail.
In particular I'm looking for tracks for a compilation of world music influenced electronic music. If you have anything that fits that please let me know.
Thanks.

Occasional Cinema, Wed 17th December, Stokes Croft, Bristol
This will be my first proper photo exhibition (ie more than one shot! I've got 56 in there I think) so I'm really excited about this. I'll also be DJing my favourite ominous film scores as well as some of Gusset's lesser heard soundtrack work after Manufactured Landscapes to close the night. Can't wait!Labels: Bristol, Film, Gigs, Gusset, photography

Knowing you are unlikely to be low on things to do over Christmas and the New Year I though playing a gig for your entertainment was just as likely to clash and interfere with you personal calendar as it was to compliment it. To overcome this problem I have whored myself liberally across as many gigs as possible this festive season. If your winter festivities are shy on Gusset, you may wish to consider attending one of the following. And if you are hardcore enough to attend all of them the sets will be different at each.
Plummet's Bristol Breakcore Christmas Carnage @ Timbuk2, Thursday 20.12.07 – feat The Teknoist, Jay Nom, the 1manarmy residence, & Gusset Radiophonic DJ set
The Goatlab @ The Croft, Friday 21.12.07 – feat Shitmat, Binray, Kilka Serco, the lab residence & Gusset live set
HIJACK Camelot - The Knights of the Turn-Table - Medieval NYE Party @ Timbuk2, 31.12.07 – feat. Dimitri from Powys, ASBO Disco, Lyricist Hobo, Cheeba, Blazey, Superisk & Wascal, & Gusset.
"Fancy Dress Encouraged: Kings & Queens, Knights & Squires, Witchcraft & Wizardry, Dragons, Jesters and Damsels in distress... Be imaginative!"
Dan Gusset's Desert Island Disks @ (CAMRA South West pub of the year 2007) The Hillgrove Porter Store, Thursday 03.01.08
Goatlab line ups are also booked up for Feb and April but I won't bore you with that now.
Here are some pretty colours:

The long awaited, Gusset remix album Ask Dr Kim, is out now on Death$ucker Records. Buy it here. Only £3! [500KB MP3 samples of each tune also on page]
PR:
Death$ucker Records releases the secret weapon of the Bristol underground music scene on an unsuspecting world. Gusset have been scaring friends and punters alike since 1996, unleashing aural assaults at breakcore, techno and hip-hop nights around the city. Not to mention anywhere else that will have them, from Brighton to Madrid. They don't fit comfortably into any nice little pigeon hole and have a sound all of their own, but strangely no imitators.
After a promising but stalled start as a low-fi Amiga 1200 toting indie band that made Portishead sound like the theme from My Little Pony they regrouped and concentrated on a purely electronic offering. Their break came in 2002 when Death$ucker head honcho Parasite booked them to support Fanny and Venetian Snares on board the good ship Thekla (the floating venue brought to Bristol by Vivian Stanshall as the Old Verity Showboat). Since then they have jumped at the opportunity to support any act their name sounds funny next to.
This remix compilation brings together remixes of their 2004 self-released Skidmark CDr. With remixes from the likes of Planet Mu's Shitmat and Teknoist, Cock Rock Disco's Jason Forrest (née Donna Summer), Manchester's king of mash-up Hoonboy, V/Vm's hardoff (aka M-Pi) and a collaboration with the Adverse Camber collective's DJ Spazmo. Further offerings include several of their own remanglings of the material, familiar to their live sets, and a track by Zod's Binray that claims to be a remix but neither he nor they can identify what was actually being remixed, it's all too long lost in time. Either that or he pulled an Aphex Twin on them.
Typical comments include, "Why do such nice people made such horrible music?", "Stay away from my children", and "I had no idea you were so depressed/twisted/perverted*"
* Delete as applicable.
Even the great John Peel said of them, "Is there any word in the English language more exciting that the word Gusset?"
The crowning glory is the gusset flashing transsexual nurse neon artwork. If you thought "nu-rave" couldn't take any more irony, then you've yet to "Ask Dr Kim"!

01. Parasite - 99 Skanky Hoes
02. Gusset - Need Brave Strokers
03. DJ Spazmo vs Gusset - 99 High Hoes Don't Make It Right
