jovontaes - the thief of baghdad - dnt– cass - 6$
Named after 90s street skater Jovontae Turner, Jovontaes are a group of kids from the Lexington, KY community, tearing up both the psych and skateboarding scenes. Not doing what you’d expect from a bunch of skaters, these dudes are making caveman psych rock (with hints of surf and kraut) like a scaled down Eternal Tapestry yet still sounding way weirder than the standard psych-jam band trying to live in the past of the 60s. Not too detached from last year’s rad tape on Eggy, on this one you get almost 50 minutes of songs, closing out the second side with a sprawling free-form musique-concrete jam piece. Recorded late 2010 in their Void Skateshop, (which apparently is right around the corner from Caboladies’ old recording space). Hand-numbered edition of 100 pro-dubbed clear tapes (with a lil’ skatebuddy imprinting) and absolutely stunning full-color psychedelic artwork by the equally beautiful young artist Camille Bryant. (Large posters of the cover art available for sale upon request)
brett naucke - southern california – arbor - cass - 6$
The debut release under his own name, Brett Naucke’s Southern California is an aptly titled seven track suite. In the nature of his other projects, Face Worker and Exercise, Naucke continues his exploration of upward advancement through a contemporary approach to ambient, classically new age music; here he wholly embraces discrete structures allowing the tracks to carry a natural progression, transparently simple though deeply considered. Recalling the work of early 80’s West Coast composers such as Ray Lynch, Naucke’s command of smooth synthesis is both meditative and active; drifting washes of light, organized tones. Translucent, linear growth; following the clouds across the sky. In an edition of 125 copies with full color cardstock covers and labeled tapes.
caboladies - dnt– lp - 14$
It is with great pleasure that DNT Records presents the self-titled long player from Caboladies. Recorded by the three piece of Chris Bush, Eric Lanham and Ben Zoeller, this collection draws a narrative thread through their past releases on Arbor, Students of Decay, Mountaain, and their own Smooth Tapes imprint. It's not so much a summation of their back catalog as it is a spotlight on a particularly fluid and holographic area of their sound. The result is a flowing and coherent collection of nuanced electronic mess. A real trip and an excellent demonstration of the Cabo ethos. Re-mastered from the original source materials by Pete Swanson. Artwork and design by Robert Beatty in an edition of 500 on randomly colored vinyl. Pro-printed matte jackets with doubled sided 11"x11" poster.
family underground - helium rug - dnt records - one sided lp - 10$
Denmark's drone demons release another one. A helium rug would float, which is exactly what your melted mind will do while listening to this record. Whistling blown by the birds of hell. This has been in the works for quite some time. Originally intended to come out last summer on their US tour, but we didn't want to flood the market (they already had 3 LPs coming out the same time). Edition of 299 on black vinyl with bi-color stencil on b-side. The front cover is what you will look like after listening to this. Your mind will split open unleashing the helium rug from within. Screenprinted covers. Artwork by Zachary Fleming.

gang wizard – i remember you from the party in long beach – dnt records - 7" - 5$
This was supposed to come out awhile back, but who cares, because now it's out. I'm bad at describing music, so here's a description of them: "...an angelic force, delivering a unique thrash-bliss sound to the world. Sparkeling synths and homemade glitter electronics are combined with whirlwind drums, screaming vocals, and aluminum spring guitars. A fantasy of blindness cycling through your lungs." members of foot village, rose for bohdan, and many other bands. Edition of 300 on black vinyl with minimalist cover.

sheperds- bush babies - dnt records - 7" -5$
Vinyl debut by Brooklyn's Shepherds. Originally this was going to be used for the DNT 3" series, but it was far too long to be used for a 3" split, so we decided to upgrade it to a 7"! The best way to describe them would be free-form psych-drone, with different tape effects thrown in their too. Members of Woods, Non-Horse, Wooden Wand and others. Pro-printed full-color glue pocket sleeves.

shearing pinx -caves - dnt – 7" – 5$
Oh-oh-oh! Yes! Yes! This is what I've been waiting for for so long: a band I love enough to release vinyl by. And this is that band, Shearing Pinx They're sort of like, a no-wave influenced, totally shred-tastic group of three bandits from Vancouver, British Columbia. I was lucking enough to see them not once, but TWICE last week in Los Angeles, which, unfortunetly was not the release show, due to delays at the plant. But here it is: A four-song 7" at 33rpm on transparent-green vinyl with green labels in silk-screened covers, artwork by the Pinks themselves. It's a limited edition, of 400, hand-numbered. Git 'em while they're hot, because nearly half are already gone, thanks to some sweet stores and distros. Enjoy!

pod blotz - snowstorm of electricity - dnt– cass - 6$
"Snowstorm of Electricity" combines thoughtful synth work with sweeping organs lift offs and plenty of bubbling tape manipulations. This release is a more in depth exploration of other Pod Blotz works and is truly Otherly. She combines pulsating and careful synth work with strange organ melodies and controlled raw electronics. A wide range of tonal ranges is covered in this strange icy landscape as it visits warm textures and oscillations. Voice sounds mimic Theremin sounds and vice versa. Some of these tracks were performed at the San Francisco Electronic Music Festival, 2010. Edition of 100 pro-dubbed tapes.

black pus / foot village - split - dnt– 12" - 10$
Including the tracks from their split cassette released last year on DBA, this 12" adds 1 Foot Village bonus track and 2 Black Pus bonus tracks. This music is raw, distorted, and totally fucked up drum rock. Each 12" includes a 16" x 22" poster that is a full color animal photo with art by Brian Chippendale screened on top. Brian is the dude behind Black Pus and he is the drummer of Lightning Bolt. This release is all about drums being punk as fuck. Edition of 300. Co-released with Deathbomb Arc.

plankton wat - dawn of the golden eternity - dnt records - lp - 12$
Debut solo LP by Dewey Mahood of Portland psych-jammers Eternal Tapestry. Ten songs recorded at the Owl House basement last winter on cassette 4-track. The LP encompasses a vast array of sounds and moods, from blissed-out drone punk rippers to super chill deep space folk. Total late night stoney textures, and radiant sun anthems. Acoustic and electric guitar, drums, banjo, mbira, and some singing, all mega tripped with syrupy analogy delay. Really beautiful heavy zoners. Hand drawn covers and insert by Dewmah. Edition of 500 on marbled red vinyl.

steve gunn / shawn david mcmillen - end of the city - dnt / abaddon / abandon ship - lp - 12$
Co-released with DNT and a new label called Abaddon, this LP finds
these two very talented musicians in their prime. Steve's side clearly
displays his guitar wizardry, while remaining honest and heartfelt.
After several years with GHQ, Steve has sharpened his skills, and it
really shows. If you've had the pleasure of seeing him perform live,
you know exactly what I mean.
Shawn's recent collaborations with Warmer Milks seep through on his
side of the album. Bleaker and darker than Steve's side, Shawn tells
his tale through guitar, piano, synth and tape manipulation. It's
completely engrossing. With it's many crooked bends and turns, it will
lead you to a sort of discomforting fulfillment that gets more intense
with each listen.

various - mash mansum - dnt– cass -6$
The time is now! It's summer and here's the year-in-the-making (delays) now-wave tape compilation "Mash Mansum". Some of these bands have broken up since giving their songs, but believe me, all the bands on this tape are ALIVE. While Hunting Lodge wait patiently for the bus, Neck Hold attack each other with their drums. Shearing Pinx stay put in the forest. The Sticks try to work it out. Gay Beast approach middle-age. Deaf! Deaf! aren't so hungry anymore, and Twin Crystals umm..well they've been eaten alive. Pro manufactured tapes in green shell with the DNT logo on the tape. Artwork and screen printed covers by Danimal (of Gay Beast). Edition of 100.

nomen duben - bering sea- dnt records - cass - 5$
Nomen Dubium (aka Zachary Fleming) and I have been sharing music for quite some time now. And although I've always enjoyed his music, it's never quite fit in to the DNT-framework, but I've always been waiting for something that did. So when he sent me this song, I was excited and eagerly awaiting more. Well, now this tape is complete and ready for the world! He did the artwork too! (what you see right now might be the temporary image though..problems with the camera). Black cassettes with labels also designed by him. Limited to 100
