Vancouver imprint 1080p Collection dropped a mammoth batch of releases in 2014, and this year has been no different with a steady stream of cassettes scheduled so far. Outside of that, the label has taken on an ambitious new endeavour with a multimedia mixtape.
The label's Richard MacFarlane has teamed up with Todd Ledford of Olde English Spelling Bee to release Starting Gate, a new 22-song mix.
The release features tracks from James Ferraro (appearing under the rock moniker the Draculas), MCFERRDOG, Torn Hawk, Moon B, Bryce Hackford and many others. Using the technology available through NewHive, each of the songs comes with its own artwork. The release also utilizes a new typeface designed by Ledford.
The labels explained in a press release: "The title Starting Gate was in part inspired by the anticipation and chaos leading up to each year's Kentucky Derby — the only horse race in America to have a field of 20 horses — wherein they have to add an extra gate just to hold all of the racehorses. Ledford made the comparison when the original 10-song mixtape started bulging at the seams, and ultimately became 22 songs out of excitement for the project."
