October
Man are Dave and Jay, based on the outskirts of Durham
City (UK). They began recording in 2003, inspired
by the Babybird box set ‘The Original Lo-Fi.’ They
produce softly emotional electronica with elements
of live instrumentation, subtly treated found sounds
and samples, melodic synth lines and crisp beats.
Dave and Jay also run October Man Recordings, which
releases limited edition electronica and electro-acoustic
CDRs in lovingly handmade packaging.
Previous October Man releases include the ‘magnetic
culture ep’ and ‘tests for colour blindness’ album
on their own label, ‘cynical days ep’ on
clickclickdrone, ‘removal from disturbances
ep’ on lacedmilk technologies, and part two
of Quiet Records’ ‘quiet clams’ series. Their
tracks have also appeared on compilations from October
Man Recordings, clickclickdrone and Boltfish’s ‘Mercury
Scales.’ Releases, Compilations & Remixes on Boltfish
