So its been a while since I"ve updated. First up - there is a new website that has been designed by Stephen
Chabassol a.k.a. Arabb. If you don"t
have his CD yet. . . shame on you! I"m not sure when the new website will debut (that"s webiste if ya nasty BTW)
but it looks fantastic. Its
all hand drawn. (muah!) It really is a piece of art.
2nd: eMpyre has been hard at work in the studio working on a sAMPLE tHE mARTIAN full length record. He had tonsillitis for a
few months hence the delays. There are about 9 songs finished. Probably 3-5 more to go.
Tom Scioli of Image Comics. . . specifically Godland (and many others) has done some artwork for the record. I"m psyched -
its going to get a global push. . .well at least to all of the industrialized world with print media and Internet.

I am going to try and do a few short songs while waiting to finish the new record in the studio.
It gives me a chance to work on something new. To go back to doing a song on an afternoon and not
really caring what anyone things about it. . . cept me of course. I am calling them "quick fixes."
Quick Fix - February is almost done. I will post them on
MySpace

Yes - sAMPLE tHE mARTIAN is in the studio working on the first full length CD due out later this year.
I have a really good rapport with my Producer 2-Phat and he has a way of coaxing out my best performances.
So what this boils down to is much clearer and stronger sounding music.
Better sounding vocals and new stuff for you to peep and sing to.
I'm also looking to book some more shows and cross promote like hell. . .
and if you don't tell all your friends I'm going to sick the Lost Island Smoke Monster on you. . . no joke.
Also some new Martian artwork is completed and awaiting coloring. You know. .
the green dude with the snake dreads. . . the bassist for STM. . .
In the mean time - pull out your lightsabers. . . not the one in your pants. . .
and wave that light beam like you have a chance to slaughter Jar Jar's ghost. .

| As some of you might know "Death in the Family" was
the title of a Batman story arc in the 80's in which the 2nd Robin Jason Todd was killed.
One of my friends, Jim recently got injured trying to save someone's life. Jim
was part of a very unique underground comic book community that I am very active in.
He was also a writer and strong contributor.
I urge you to read the following articles about what happened to him to honor his memory.
Take a minute or two. . . please.

So now that I have something
in the works again - you can expect to see some more regular updates.
Dubphonics now on iTunes. Go find and download their album. Of course its fresh.. . its the F**kin'
Dubphonics.
I am going into the studio tomorrow to start working on the first full length Sample the Martian album.
I am VERY excited about that. I have an awesome producer who I've known for quite some time. I
suspect I will be very comfortable recording there. Its the first time recording since I performed my 4
shows in 2005. Expect more shows as well.
I will be working at Soundscape Recording Studio ™.

Hello everybody! Its good to be back makin dust. A lot has happened over the last year and a half. I really needed
some time to get my life back together. A lot of people took my disapearance pretty seriously and I apologize but it
was necessary.
Even though it felt like it at times I was not sold into slavery. I did have to check myself and really do some
soul searching and find a way to pay the bills and still run the record label.
I also apologize if I didn't come through on things like I normally did but the day job was killin me.
As of August 2nd we are officially starting work on a new hip-hop compilation. It will get promoted to 300 +
college radio stations. We'll have street teams, posters, flyers up the ying yang and solid distribution.

So its been pointed out to me that I need to update this mutha. My
job lately has been somewhat demanding through the holidays and I kind of
had to put some stuff on hold. I have a new disc to add to the catalog by Arabb. (see above button)
It is some brilliant experimental Drum & Bass. If you like Aphex Twin, Autechre, and
things of that nature you'll be extremely pleased with it.
I'm also working on getting some stuff out to college radio.
I'm working on some Sample the Martian stuff when I can as well.
The other thing keeping me from updating is a problem I've had with the script that I use me to update. In other words
its much harder to update now. I can't do it remotely either.

Its been a while since I've updated. I had to take some time to re-align my life.
I recently moved into my own apartment and had to do a lot of personal and financial re-structuring to do it.
What does that mean for you the Galactic Dustmites? It means a stronger more focused eMpyre and a smooth running
record label with more time to promote the best music around.
Galactic Dust will be releasing a new CD by an artist from Pittsburgh, PA named
Arabb.
It is IDM in the likes of Aphex Twin and of course its own spin on electronic production.
I got out to a show last week to see
Dante,
Lost Elements,
Seven Chakraz (7-C). and
Demented at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor, MI.
I met a LOT of cool people and spent a few minutes chatting with
Tenacity from The Abolitionist Project about new projects.
Galactic Dust will have a strong presence this weekend as we head to Cincinnati, OH to
check out Scribble Jam 2006. Hope to see you there.
Last but not least, through personal and artistic soul searching I have realized this: It is important to keep in
mind that over the course of the last 5 years Galactic Dust has seen and done many
things. The mission statement and the idealogy behind the label have been consistant since its inception. I have
recruited many good artists and street team members around the world to help our vision. Now that we have a core
group of people involved I think its time to focus our direction(s). My original goal was to keep people guessing
what kind of record label Galactic Dust was. However I think that we will do more good to the advancement
of music and artistic freedom by becomming more specific in our scope. Expect to see some minor changes and
transformations in the up and coming months. Most of all expect to see a stronger more consistant Galactic Dust Records.

So its been a while since I've posted.
You may think that galactic dust hasn't been up to much
because I haven't updated. But I started a new job and have been laying the ground-work for some
awesome new things.
Au contraire!
The 2006 release by Arabb is coming
together nicely. Expect it late spring.
White Kollar Stickers should be printed soon.
Expect a new bootleg CD with Sample the Martian tracks
and other galactic dust artists and friends.
I am also starting to put together the follow up to Untyin' Lost Souls. I
expect it to be TOTALLY off the hook. So should you.
Last but certainly not least we placed the Dubphonics song "A Better Place" in
upcoming issue of
411VM.
411 Is also known for their video work on the Hit Selling and fun as hell to play
Tony Hawk Proskater and Underground games.
