Citinite 2003-2016
Most people will probably know Manuel Sepulveda for his work as Optigram, the name under which he designed pretty much every record sleeve put out by Hyperdub. That body of work clearly overshadowed his other operations, including co-founding and running the Citinite label for more than a decade. Today marks the 10th anniversary of their first release and yet it's a sad day, since they decided to pull the plug and call it “goodnite”.
There's a new website that let's you revisit (or discover)twenty releases from the last decade, not all of them actually realised. Some of the unreleased music can be listened to on this special mixtape.
Jesse Saunders - On & On (unreleased 1984 remix)
Lil' Kenny - Straight to Your Head
Mynk Rychardz - Human Robots (Gosubs night dub)
Lil' Kenny - Cyberlove
Robert O'Dell - Love Me… Can You Hear Me?
Gosub - Slave to You
Robert O'Dell - Miles & Miles
Gosub - Black Nova (AUX 88 remix)
Mynk Rychardz - Blastin
Complexxion - Intro 7
JLin - 808
JLin - Downtown
Rozzi Daime - Dirty Illusions
Mynk Rychardz - Hang Glyde
And if that ain't enough, make sure to check Manuel's radio show from last year, in which he played some more lost music from the label.
Farewell, Citinite. You will be missed!
