Some people talk about Roska these days. Brilliant artwork by GiveUpArt.
The story continues … But before I go on, here are some infos on the
first column about the graphical world of
Errorsmith, MMM, Smith’n'Hack and
Soundsteram/Soundhack. All artworks of Errorsmith records were done by Tasche. Fiedel, the Berghain resident and half of MMM, made the stamps for the MMM labels and all drawings and logotypes for the Soundhack/Soundstream releases. For the new MMM release, he used graphics from a scientific youth contest called
Messe der Meister von Morgen in the former GDR, which is also the name giver of MMM.
There is so much good music around these days and it feels that the possibilities to find wether fresh and unheard sound or old familiar tunes being repressed have never been so easy. With all these releases, a lot of good visual ideas come along, good graphic design or just nice packaging. I have been buying a lot of records at Hardwax during the last weeks, enjoyed the music very much and found some interesting and fresh approaches on graphics. I chose some of the vinyls and took some quick shots with my fancy phone, in a sense of reviewing them visually.
The picture on top of that article is a detail of the album/12″ artwork for UK Funky artist
Roska by the brilliant designers of
GiveUpArt from London, who did a bunch of great design works for the music industry such as Tempa, FWD>> or RinseFM or a photo book documenting the LA underground music scene —
L.A. Dope.
Below are the examples of my recently bought vinyls, designed by different artists. As soon as I find out these craftsmen, I will add them to the captions plus some links. All of the music is great, too!
Please leave a note in the comments if you know someone of the creators/designers. Thanks!
