Get Yourself 6 Minutes Behind
The official line is "6
Minutes Behind' is Codex Machine's second release on Nitrous Records. This
genre-fusing breakbeat track with a West-Coast hip hop influence has
a seriously funky groove."
Nice - but we nearly went with a much longer description that we can't currently
find. It's "top down" music.

BIG NEWS!
You
may have been wondering exactly WHY we've been so quiet recently. Well,
this is why - we've got BIG news. Have we made that
clear enough?
a)
Codex Machine's dark as heck breaks tune 'Crunch' will be the first EVER
release on new download label Nitrous Records.
It will be available from Juno Records and DJ Download websites,
amongst many others. It's out VERY soon, but we'll let you know exactly
when.
b)
Our second release will be on 12" vinyl! It will be the Man Vs
Monkey EP, coming out through the wonderful Womb Records
(Listen With Sarah, Ergo Phizmiz), containing 4 varied and barking tracks from
us.
c)
and we've had our very popular track
Love Requiem licensed for a BIG compilation - It doesn't get much more
prestigious than this in the world of breakbeat-driven music so we're extremely
excited - More news to come!!!

Some more changes to the

Coffeebar Records launch their own Internet radio
station on Wednesday 24th May. The opening night will feature
yet another
Codex Machine mix. It is, of course, our best yet. But each new one we do is the
best yet, so you'd better
listen to it quick before we do another one and it
doesn't seem as good. Forget we said
that - it's great!
ADDITIONAL: The mix went great - we headlined the evening and a splendid bunch
of listening was had
by all. We hope to make the mix available for streaming/dowload in the fullness
of time.

It's been a busy
couple of weeks for the Machine. On May 13th, Dellamorte made his debut
appearance at
Ministry
of Sound, on the same bill as Josh Wink. This
is, of course, excellent.
Codex Machine
contributed their second mix to the BBC in the form of the Welsh Language mix
(which we
are hoping to make available for download soon) for Huw Stephens'
show on BBC Radio Cymru on which
we were also interviewed through Codex's masterful control of the language.
Since the show normally has sessions
from bands rather than long mixes, it's
not available to download from their session page, but as a courtesy
measure,
they have versions of put up copies of "Positive Payback",
"Fight Club" and "Everybody Runs" on their Codex Machine page.
Erm, don't read the page too closely,
eh?
And finally for
some NEWS THAT HASN'T ALREADY ACTUALLY HAPPENED!
Yes, that's right,
the Coffeebar Records mix for
their exciting forthcoming Internet radio station. Some of the tracks will be
familiar to hardened CM listeners, but there's a couple you might not know.
And even if you do, there'll still be some bits
you won't expect thanks to
us putting it together on our funky new software that we wouldn't dream of
naming.
Bit of a baptism of fire that one. Keep an eye on their site for
more info.
