With great astonishment, Meander's exclusive mix for Samurai.FM has over 1,000 plays, THANK YOU! Keep it going!



Earmilk album walkthrough w/Conrad Hoyer - "Carbon represents what happened when I let go and mashed hardcore, industrial, strings, pads, chords, melodies and IDM glitches clicks, pops and beats into a breakcore shape - each song coming from a slightly different angle." Read More...

Glasswerk album review - " I found it engaging, interesting and at times even mesmerising, as if I was an aural adventurer on a journey through unchartered sounds." Read More...

Zap! Bang! REVIEW - "Meander retains a light and airy mood with the contradictory blasts of breaks, adding sophistication with track development." Read More...

Zap! Bang! INTERVIEW - "Even though it's not essentially new, I think there is still territory left to explore when it comes to melodic or atmospheric breakcore." Read More...

Vanguard album review - "Where the Metalheadz had some longeurs of drifting sound, interspersed with manic beat making, this stays on the front foot pretty much all the time; even where a more languid deep beat is carrying the track, there will be in-your-face beat-scratching and tearing going on." Read More...

Review Graveyard on Carbon - "There's enough diversity here for you to get a flavour of Meander's obvious talent and influences; not to mention to act as a backing track to your life no matter what you're doing. It's the sort of album you'd dig out and play full blast before going out for the night." Read More...

And not to mention a friendly shout out in Igloo Mag's latest Release Your Ears 6.0

An all new rare as eff Meander mix up at Samurai.FM to coincide with the latest full length Meander opus 'Carbon' - available now as digital download from our Bandcamp site.

An ongoing archival process and collection point for both current and vintage Low Res media. There's some laughable stuff up there already and it's all still a pretty new effort. Official event flyer archive and plenty of other stuff that probably won't have a reason to find it's way on to the official (mockery of a) website.

LOW RES RECORDS' photostream @ FLICKR

"...If you're familiar with either c64 or Low Res, you have a pretty good idea of what to expect. If you're not down with either, you're in for a full on crunchcore assault assembled by one of the more in tune with the music DJs in breakcore/hardcore. ."

[7:39 am] Lowest Moments, a mixed compilation of tracks on the Low Res label, mixed by C64. This is a mash-up of 26 tracks from the excellent Low Res in Detroit, mixing sounds of hardcore breakbeat, industrial, and speed-glitch, touching most of the major releases from the label's first ten years in operation.

[7:46 am] In the first four tracks on this, C64 has brought together label head Adjust, Venetian Snares, Bombardier, and I:Gor, all easily identifiable as Low Res artists and all classics in their own rights. A record like Lowest Moments makes me want to immediately purchase the entire back catalog. I'm going to resist this time, but so far this album has been all gravy.

"C64 hailing from Toronto is one of my super heroes. He keeps the faith in straight Breakcore music and invests time, money and heart blood in this music. As a Dj, musician and label chief he always searches the boundaries of electronic music and merges styles together to create something new.

Celebrating its ten-year anniversary Low Res Records, the pathbreaking pioneers of Breakcore from Detroit, links up with C64 and his wonderful Drosstik label to release a very special album."
