Posthuman 2LP and 2CD editions update.....


Hugest, sincerest apologies to all of you still waiting for the Posthuman vinyl and Japanese editions. We have had significant delays out of our control AGAIN and have had to push release dates back even further.


A lot of you have pre-ordered the vinyl and I'm really sorry you've had to wait so long. The Posthuman Double-LP is our most ambitious, most expensive and most significant release to date and we want to ensure we're doing it justice. In addition to significant delays in manufacture, it was decided (not by me) very late in the process that I should assemble the products myself to ensure better quality, and that the LPs would now be housed in resealable bags rather than a cellophane wrapping. LONG STORY SHORT - They're still coming as soon as possible, but not as soon as any of us would have hoped. Be assured that I'm working as fast as I can to get the products to you as soon as possible. Again, apologies!


Secondly, the 2CD Japanese edition released through Daymare Recordings is finally making its way to me, and the plan is to add a pre-order section to the 3by3 store in the next week. The Daymare edition features a second CD with over 30mins of bonus material exclusive to that version and not available digitally. As soon as I have stock it will go straight up but be warned - Japanese imports don't come cheap!


Thanks for your continued patience. To stay up-to-date on all that's 3by3, please find us on Twitter and Facebook, and join the mailing list on the right >>>

Label Update.....

Firstly, the 3by3 store has finally gone live. We're running the shop through Greedbag and we've got stock of every 3by3 release to date including the early Cloaks 12"s. Head over to www.3by3music.com to have a look and if you're new to the label, please take some time to check out our back catalogue.

Today is also the official release date for JK Flesh - Posthuman on CD and Download so make sure to go grab a copy if you haven't already.

The Posthuman Double-LPs are progressing nicely but have, as expected, been delayed due to the intense labour involved. 3BY3009LP is our most ambitious product to date by far and because of this, we've endeavoured to give it the special treatment wherever possible.

Reverse-board sleeves have been individually screen-printed by hand to give a grungy, truly unique aesthetic and we're making surplus stock to ensure quality control. We've consciously gone for a guerilla tone with this one though so don't expect the accuracy of full-colour print! Each of the 500 will also be hand-numbered before being sent to plant to be shrink wrapped and stickered for point of sale. Here are some pictures from the process. Huge thanks again to Stew Print Rooms for the assistance!
