I'm pleased to announce to any friends of Northcape here that the Some Bright Valley EP has now been released (for free download) by the Monotonik netlabel. Here's what it says on the release page:

A Monotonik debut for Brighton, UK-based electronic artist Northcape, then, with the sublimely mellow 'Some Bright Valley', all chilled-out strings and gently departing sunsets. Previously having debuted a couple of self-released albums, this first netlabel release starts out with the cutely meandering 'Red Panda', before moving on to the even more gorgeously pastoral, almost triphop-flecked 'A Part Of The Forest'. Also in there - 'Low Lying Mist' and EP closer 'On The Hill', which uses smart and beautiful repetition to make a chilled-out, signature Monotonik sound, awkward percussion making things all the better. Viva la Northcape!

Monotonik has been in existence for over 10 years, and is probably one of the most well-known labels for chilled IDM and electronica having released some of the best IDM producers from around the globe (e.g. ST,Proem,Secede,Sleepy Town Manufacture,Lackluster, Sabi,Izmar, just at random). So I'm happy Northcape is on there! Definitely an incentive to keep improving, and hopefully the newer tracks show this :-)
