In 2001 my friends and I started a design house/record label called Red Antenna and I put out this 12″ of mediocre synthpop and minimal techno. The best part of this is the packaging, which was designed and hand silk-screened by yours truly and later featured in the book Fingerprint: The Art of Using Handmade Elements in Graphic Design. Music made with a vintage Roland Juno 60 keyboard and Ableton Live.

The silkscreening good times continue… Newsprint posters wheat-pasted in downtown NYC

“Fiercely polished electro with rocked-out soul. Thick driving percussion, lowriding vintage bass for boomin’ systems, and sparkling analogue keyboard lines conjure sharp modernist grids, colorful scenes from tomorrow’s discotheques, robots with dirty minds, and half-forgotten night-drives through Babylon. Candy Chang is remarkably able to glance back at Prince and Cybotron, while keeping her designer’s eye fixed on a new style and sound all her own.” Released in 2003.

“From the hipshakin’ “Letterpress Express”, like a Russ Meyer soundtrack, to the all-in assault of “Bravo Futura”, as always the artwork is incredibly well packaged” – Syntax

“Bubbling stripped down acidic electro with swelling basslines and dark pop moods.” – Sonic Groove
