We’re kicking off the weekend right here at Ceremony with our buddies at No Fear of Pop, whom just debuted the video for Bam Spacey’s “Taigan.”

And make sure to stay on the lookout for a limited run of vinyl for Bam Spacey’s upcoming EP Land out May 22.

Also, don’t forget your mums this weekend either.

A new week, a new track from Bam Spacey. It’s May 22 and the Land EP release is right around the corner!

Our friends at No Modest Bear have a brand new track from the EP streaming today. “Taigan” is the lead off track from Land and a stunning ‘curtains up’ sort of deal for a producer certainly on the rise. We promise to have a video for the tune in just a little, we’ve seen it already and can say that it’s a perfect fit. And that’s the beautiful artwork for the EP tacked onto this post, a limited run of vinyl is in production right now keep an eye out on the Ceremony store for more information.

Exciting news.

Albert Swarm has a free track out now and a new (still unnamed) EP on the way. To hold you over, Albert thought it’d be fun to celebrate his name day with a track left unreleased during the recording process for his Held EP. This probably falls under the “our favorite Albert Swarm songs ever” category and we’re not telling fibs here. This track is amazing. It’s called “The Sea That Calls All Things Unto Her” and comes from a Kahlil Gibran poem entitled, “The Coming Of The Ship.” It’s up for streaming and download now on Albert Swarm’s Soundcloud page so follow the link and enjoy. The fine image attached to this post serves as cover art for the song and was made by Albert himself – who also did the incredible art for Bam Spacey’s “Vi delar samma grav” and the upcoming Land EP.

In case you missed them last week, Bam Spacey and Michigan producer RxGibbs (Cascine) did a little remix trade-off recently and we’ve shared the results on our Soundcloud along with a free download on both edits. Where Bam Spacey pushed a thumping house feeling through Gibbs’ “Silver” – taken from the stellar Futures EP - Gibbs returned the favor by making “Vi delar samma grav” even more moving than it was in the first place. No Fear Of Pop & XLR8R have said some kind words on both tracks and the accompanying cover art (image attached to this post) was submitted by our dear friend, Sandra Croft.

More news on Bam Spacey’s Land EP coming soon including cover art + tracklist, this one is out May 22 on digital & a limited run 12″

CER006, and Bam Spacey’s Ceremony debut, is available today!

‘Vi delar samma grav’ is out as a digital single featuring the title track packed with an additional song and two remixes – one to party and another to recover. Head over to the Ceremony store to pick up the download (only $3.96!) and check out the tracklist plus some links below.

‘It’s all gently surreal, making the best sounds out of sunsets, with fleeting vocals and steady percussion, like a gang of the Natural History Museum’s night janitors were drumming on the fossilized spine of some ancient whale.’ – The FADER

‘While Bam Spacey’s woodblock percussion hints at the Mediterranean atmosphere that has so enveloped the Swedish pop landscape in recent years, “Vi Delar Samma Grav’s” melancholic synths could never recall any sun-drenched Ibiza resort.’ – International Tapes

Up next from Bam Spacey is the Land EP out May 22.

We want to officially welcome the incredible Swedish producer Bam Spacey to the Ceremony roster today. While we have all been working together for several months now, it feels good to make things official and he certainly deserves it. His upcoming EP is called Land and will be released on May 22, but before that we’ll have the first single from the album out digitally on April 3.

Get a first taste right now as ‘Vi delar samma grav’ premieres today over at The FADER (the image in this post is the mind blowing artwork thought up by Albert Swarm) and is also streaming on our Soundcloud page. This first track will be accompanied by a b-side plus two exclusive edits of each track done by Bam Spacey himself. Track list is just below, be on the lookout for plenty more from Bam Spacey in the coming weeks!

We’re a little late to this post, so sorry! But we have a lot of news to share about current Albert Swarm happenings and some releases coming up in just a few weeks. First things first: Albert Swarm was selected to put together the 15th installment of Friends of Friend’s extremely solid mix series. The LA imprint has it streaming up on their Soundcloud now, have a listen and enjoy. Track list is just below, and if you have not listened to Avasaxa yet, well, you really need to!

And just to shed some light on things coming up from Ceremony, we’re going to have a very busy spring and summer. In just a few weeks we’ll have new material from our newest signing Bam Spacey in the form of a single. Soon after that look out for his debut EP sometime in May — around this time there should also be new material surfacing from Albert Swarm. He’s currently in Georgia (the country!) shooting a video for a song off the new album, we wish him luck. That’s about it, more soon!

First off let us just say: we’ve been sitting on this collection of remixes for what seems like forever now. So it feels great to get this release out into the open, let alone have it kick off the year for us. That said, out today is Ceremony’s first release of 2012.

This compilation brings together some friends we’ve made our first year out as a label. Featuring Sun Glitters, Courtship, and Papercutz we also feel like this time is as good as any to welcome the newest addition to the label: Bam Spacey. The Malmö based producer provides a minimal techno take on Albert Swarm’s ‘Aging Out’ in typical Swedish fashion. We’ll have his debut 12″ out sometime in March that’ll be followed by an EP shortly after — extremely excited about this one. Held (Remixed) is streaming over on our Soundcloud page now and it’s also available as a download on Albert Swarm’s Bandcamp page for the price of a mere email address aka it’s pretty much free.
