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 Author Backdoor Info April 2009
