As of posting this, we're down to the last 69 copies of the Live Radio Performance April 6, 2009 12" LP we released on 180gram vinyl. Nab that in the Robotic Empire - Online Store, and/or their new album In and Out of Youth and Lightness on Temporary Residence Limited!

New PYGMY LUSH releases & merch galore, FLOOR repress and LOTS of new items & restocks!!

Its crazy to think we're rounding the bend on TWELVE years of Robo-label activity, but our first release (the PG.99 / REACTOR NO. 7 split 7") dropped in April of 1999. It suffices to say, this label wouldn't even exist if it weren't for the Taylor brothers, their friends, and all the bands they've been a part of over the years. There's something in the water in Sterling, Virginia and we feel genuinely honored to have been a small element of these dudes' musical output over the (many) years.


Now that their current/most active band PYGMY LUSH is thankfully touring again, we decided to help stack out our old friends' merch table with a plethora of goods to peddle. As a result we now have the same items available in our Online Store, although we officially and fully encourage you to pick up stuff direct from the band on tour with DES ARK whenever possible.

The goods we've stocked them with this time include a re-press of their first album, Bitter River, on cassette along with two more tapes: the fantastic split with TURBOSLUT (originally released on LP by Exotic Fever) and a new two-song "cassingle" on Cold World / Guilt, two super mellow cuts that didn't quite fit on their new album Old Friends (released on Lovitt, who's also issuing a 2-song 7" of the cassingle songs). Soul-crushingly good tunes here.


Along with all that, they/we've got stickers, oversized buttons (1.5"), patches galore and a plethora of t-shirts both new and old. We're trying out bundle packs for the first time too, so you can either get the individual tapes separately, all together and we'll throw in a sizable pile of merch (buttons+patch+sticker), or you can just grab a merch bundle on its own. Three new t-shirts were printed too, the "Cold World" image expanded, plus white and black versions of the "Mount Hope" Ashburn House album design. We kinda went bonkers here, but it is a pretty lengthy tour too! If you're not gonna see them, or foolishly spend all your cash on booze or something, check out the Robotic Empire - Online Store to pick up some of this awesome stuff.


Another band we're EXTREMELY happy to announce is hitting the road is FLOOR!! Inspired by their reunion shows last year, the reignited trio is legitimately touring for the first time in like 9 years or so! Intense!!


In order to make sure they've got substantial music to sell (and since we're getting down to the last copies of the deluxe vinyl box set discography), we re-pressed the 8xCD standalone edition of their expansive Below & Beyond discography! Ideally you'll pick this up direct from the band on tour, but if not you can grab it now in the Robotic Empire - Online Store. This mamma jamma includes all 99(!) songs spread across 8 discs and includes the massive 32-page 12"x12" booklet with hella photos, lyrics, back-story....everything. We just re-upped on the awesome Sight & Seen FLOOR 2xDVD too! Czech it out in the Robotic Empire - Online Store if you can't catch them live.


In further "touring band news", MAGRUDERGRIND is playing shows in various parts of the world this year, and they just sent us a stack of their FREE Crusher 10" released by Scion(WTF). Yep, debate it any way ya want... regardless, we're giving away copies of this appropriately monikered EP to folks who order the new "Facemelter" t-shirt we printed up last month. Totally badass 4-color design with all kinda trippy junx going on, this is available now in the Robotic Empire - Online Store. FREE 10" included until we run out of em.... word!

We also have a pretty stacked distro update with over 30 new items and 50+ restocks. New stuff from AKIMBO (latest album finally imported on vinyl, with CD), AMATEUR PARTY (featuring Atom!), HEIRS new one along with other Denovali elaborateness, INTEGRITY and other A389 bludgeoners, PYGMY LUSH GALORE, SINE NOMINE back from the grave with a self released CD, Init stuff and more.

Restocks include the bulk of the remaining Shock Value catalog (ED GEIN, JOSHUA FIT FOR BATTLE, etc), BLACK TUSK and COUGH bangers from Relapse (vinyl for both blew out last time), CELESTE 2xLPs and other awesome imports, FLOOR essentials, DAITRO 10"s, KIDCRASH, MELT BANANA and other killer Init releases, mo' bruisers from A389, two favorite PG99 and PYGMYLUSH shirts re-printed, ROSETTA, PULLING TEETH, TOWERS, ULTRA DOLPHINS and a bunch more!

We printed up some nicer Bitter River tapes compaired to the first press, plus the killer split with TURBOSLUT on cassette as well... and as of South Carolina they should have a NEW 2-song cassingle as well that is totally soul crushingly good.

We'll have all that junx and more from these dudes in our Online Store before too long, but if you're anywhere even remotely near any of the dates above: GO SEE EM LIVE with DES ARK and pick up something from them direct. Witness one of our favorite active bands going right now, and if possible please help fill our bro's tank, as gas prices are through the roof and that makes DIY-touring even harder than it already is.

Also, you can scope a new song here:

They're releasing their new album "Old Friends" on Lovitt Records pretty soon, and have the CD of it available with them on tour. Now that they're on the road though, any updates will be less frequent for the time being. But you can still keep an eye on what's what here:
