ASIO RECORDS
Hi, welcome to asio records.
Here at asio we are building a record label that reflects the true essence of music on the web in this digital age. So what does that mean?
Free music! Yaaaaay!
Well, unfortunately not exactly, but we will be offering all our tunes in glorious HD on YouTube and other streaming services so if you are online you can always catch our latest tunes. Oh and yes the occasional freebie you can download for your ipod.
So, again, what does that mean?
Let us explain.
Back when we were all a little bit younger if we wanted to listen to music that we couldn't find on the radio, we had to leave the house, travel to a "record shop" and browse through the limited number of shelves and hopefully find a copy of that single or album that we desperately desired, and then to add insult to injury we had to give the shopkeeper money!. Imagine! The point of all this is that we had to put a significant amount of effort and personal investment into our music. This tended to result in a narrowing of our personal tastes, because if you liked, lets say "Heavy-Rock-Doom-Thrash" or whatever, is was highly unlikely that you would head off into town eager to buy that new Megadeth album and suddenly, on whim, buy Lionel Ritchie as this tended to result in disappointment.
Not only was the way we purchased our music different but the way that we heard about new music was too. If we wanted to find out about music or bands our choices were limited to a handful of magazines and TV shows. So lets take our typical heavy-rock-doom-thrash fan, after working hard for a couple of months caddying at the local golf club, covering some two thousand walking miles, he has finally saved enough cash to buy a couple of CD's. By the way great pride was taken in amassing as many CD's or vinyl's as you could so you could impress your friends with your neat and alphabettically aranged collection. (A friend of mine used to arrange his CD's by the colour on the spine! Ha Ha very sad!). Anyway back to our blistered foot "Heavy-Rock-Doom-Thrash" fan, so he has the money now what to buy? Well he could find out whats new by buying the latest monthly rockazine, but, as stated this was monthly and he could only read about how the newest freshest tunes sounded, not ideal. Or he could go through the recurring nightmare of trying to tape the very late night Tuesday Late Late Rock Show from one of the four channels available to him. This was trickier than it sounds, once he had found a tape with space he had to program the damn thing by going through 20 nonsensical menus on a screen no bigger than a matchbox. If he got past this hurdle he would then keep fingers crossed while trying to sleep as TV was not so bothered about keeping to a particular schedule back in those days. More often than not he would rush downstairs in the morning spend half an hour rewinding to the spot on the tape to find that he had recorded 2 minutes of the Tuesday Late Late Rock Show and 58 minutes of a program about the sewer systems of Cambridge. Again not ideal.
In short it was hard work to find and buy your music. This resulted in very careful planning and expenditure so if you liked "Heavy-Rock-Doom-Thrash" you stayed liking "Heavy-Rock-Doom-Thrash". You couldn't afford to stray.
All the above has changed forever!
Mr "Heavy-Rock-Doom-Thrash" fan will have listened to 10 new tunes on you tube recommended to him by his friends on facebook, visited his favourite band's website because they tweeted about their latest gig and checked the download chart in 15 countries, all over morning coffee, or vodka if he is a proper "heavy-rock-doom-thrash" fan.
But here is the difference and it's a KILLER, those 10 new tunes from facebook may not have been "heavy-rock-doom-thrash" beacuse @LuCy jOne5 is actually a "Latin-Dubstep-Jazz-House" fan, and @Dave Soulboy as his name suggests is partial to a bit of "Northern-Grunge-Soul" and lets not forget that @Tracey'sMum "Likes-A-Bit-Of-Bit-Adele". So where does this leave Mr "Heavy-Rock-Doom-Thrash"? Well, we probably leave him as Mr "Heavy-Rock-Doom-Thrash-Latin-Dubstep-Jazz-House-Northern-Grunge-Soul-Likes-A-Bit-Of-Bit-Adelel" fan. Why.? Beacuse HE CAN. Loads and Loads of music is available to him and he is likely to experiment, after all he's got fill that 500gig ipod with something and it cant all be the same.
Asio records reflect this modern music behaviour, we are not genre specific, we are not selling physical music media, the only criteria we have is that if someone here likes it we will release to you and hopefully you will like it too.
Thanks.
