It was great fun listening to all those different versions of “Seattle, Sicily”.

We’ve chosen not one, but two winners: Iròi and Multi Panel. Congratulations!

Iròi is the moniker from Pietro Iannuzzi from Italy. He has already remixed a song by Giardini di Mirò and worked together with Nuccini, so he wasn’t a stranger to us. To listen to more of Iròi’s music, click here and there.

The second remix we picked comes from the Dutch producer Ludo Maas aka Multi Panel. If you like his interpretation of “Seattle, Sicily”, we recommend to download his EP “The Door”.

Both remixes will be bonus tracks on the CD release of “Jars, Jams & You”, which we hope to release soon. The digital edition is still available here.

Here’s a set with more submissions, a little remix EP for you. Enjoy.

Here it is:

If you think you can do a better teaser video for the conference, you can download the footage and the music from their website and edit your own video.

We always liked remixes. There are 23 mixes by amazing producers such as Apparat, Alias, Hood, Dntel, Lawrence, Styrofoam, Telefon Tel Aviv and many others in the 2nd rec catalog.

A remix contest however is a debut for us. We are excited to see if and how this will work out.

The song we would like you to remix is Tellaro’s smash hit “Seattle, Sicily” from their latest album “Jars, Jams and You”. Check out our Soundcloud page where you can download all the parts you need. Or get all tracks in one handy zip-file from here (197 MB).

To submit your remix, just upload the file to our Soundcloud dropbox. Together with the band, we will listen to all mixes and select a winner, whose track will be officially released on 2nd rec. Runner-ups can look forward to some 2nd rec CDs/LPs. Deadline is 31st of March.

Send me your track

That’s why we changed the checkout process a bit. From now on, you can download the album without a Paypal account, if you choose to pay less than € 0.1.

We are not sure how long we keep the pay-what-you-want thingy alive, so you better download your copy now.

The great thing about Bandcamp is that it offers a wide range of digital formats: High quality mp3s, Ogg Vorbis, ACC and even lossless FLAC.

No matter what option you choose, a full-length album download costs just 7 dollar (5,15 euro), EPs are available for just $3.

So far these artists are available (more soon):

Giardini di Mirò
Nitrada
Tellaro
Nuccini!
Pillow (Luca di Mira)

We’re happy to annouce that our latest release is available from today. “Jars, Jams & You” was planned to be released months ago, but for various reasons (e.g. the demise of our distributor) we had to delay it.

Tellaro’s new album, their third release on 2nd rec, is now available for download exclusively from our site. Although we have mixed feelings about our last “pay what you want” experiment, we are still offering the digital edition of Tellaro’s new album for the price you choose to pay.

We hope you enjoy “Jars, Jams & You” as much as we do.

Actually I don’t understand very much, since it’s in Italian, but from what I got, it’s not just about the band or music, but also Jukka’s job as a social worker and his political ideas.

We haven’t released anything new since a year, but it feels even longer than that. There are various reasons for our hiatus and maybe I’ll write a blog post about it someday.

But right now I just want to tell you, that we are preparing a comeback release - the new album by Tellaro! We’re still working out the details, but we hope to have it available for you very soon. Subscribe to our newsletter or our RSS feed to be informed.
