Welcome to Anticipate!

We're incredibly happy to be starting this new project. Anticipate is a record label which combines elements of electro-acoustics, ambient, slow motion techno and found house with traces of filtered influences ranging from jazz, post rock, classical, dub, musique concrete and minimalism. The emphasis is on using electronics to rework, reassemble and redevelop sound - whether it be instrumental or otherwise - from outside the computer, with the hope of finding the best balance of two worlds - creating something new and unique that has roots in our physical realm, but is abstracted in the digital one.

Our first CD release, Mark Templeton's Standing on a Hummingbird will be available on February 19 in record stores and digital shops around the world. You can read more about Mark and the release, as well as listen to audio clips here.

In addition to Mark's CD, he's presented us with a digital exclusive, the Holden Into Ryley EP, which you can download for free right now on the media page of the site.
