Unrealistic Expectations

Our first release of the year sees the return of Atsushi Akama, aka King Rambo Sound. On the "Withdrawn" ep, he navigates a body of genre-blending dub works, dissolving narratives with an angular, empirical approach to low-end frequencies.

The label 'Nothing Was There' is gone, but I still have some recordings lying around from the Nothing Was There era. It’s all live material and mostly unheard. Hardcore fans might notice that two of the tracks have been out in public before, but they’ve been reworked for this release. The sound is gritty, bass-heavy, and very dark at times. Welcome to Vigilante: The Nothing Was There Essentials. A...

I’m deeply troubled by the recent comments made by Ron Morelli of L.I.E.S. Records. The use of derogatory language and harmful rhetoric in his podcast appearance is not only disappointing but goes against the values of respect and inclusivity that our community stands for. Art and music should be a space where all voices are heard and valued. It’s crucial for us to support and uplift those who pro...
