Xerpheric Records Ltd. Founded in the UK, 2009 by Mark Flanagan. Xerpheric is not only a new label, but also a new word. This was to secure an original name that had not been registered by anyone before, for anything.  

 Originally, Mark Flanagan, ( from Feltham, in West London ) an artist, programmer, engineer & producer of abstract ambient tachno trance traded under the name; Headstate 68, and was set up in the attic studio, The Loft, Feltham, in 2007.  

 As an avid guitarist, Mark decided that he wanted guitaring in the tracks, but more akin to the electronic vibe. So he then set to work on his tunes, refining hooks and riffs, with trippy dubs to create the unique sound he was after. 

 However, in 2008, situations forced the move to a new studio, The Meads, in Chertsey, Surrey. The act then created a portal on Myspace to enable the world to listen to the tracks created, to guage how popular this type of music would be.  
 A reasonable success was apparent and therefore, these tracks were mastered and released on the album, Axatron on Apple's i.tunes for MP3 download, in February 2009. 

 Headstate 68's music was original and new, however, with material created by Mark Flanagan, dating back to 10 years it quickly became apparent that these older tracks, that represented the different genres of electronic dance music, that were never released, could be re-generated, re-programmed and re-mastered. However, not sounding like the classic slow tempo, guitar laden sound of Headstate 68's other acts were required to present these tracks to the populus. 

 Xerpheric Records Ltd was created in  March, 2009 to house these different types of electronic dance music and so the acts were created. 

 The following acts are currently signed to Xerpheric Records Ltd.  

 Headstate 68, Technoid Funk Master, The Retro System, Energy Generation & The Sound of Tronic Bionic UK. 

 At present, all the acts are working on material and will post 10 tracks on Myspace, then will be also released on i.tunes. 
 Once this has been acheived, the albums will be released on cd through the label website; xerpheric-record.com
