Absolutely Kosher Records and Misra Records rarely, if ever, disappoint with their great releases and from the sounds of their new free digital sampler Soon, the labels will be continuing their string of excellence.

Soon features eight tracks from upcoming releases and is available for download (.zip) or streaming over at Muxtape.

Here’s the track listing:

1. Monahans – “It’s Enough To Leave You”
2. Chris Garneau – “Fireflies”
3. Chet – “The Night, The Night”
4. Hallelujah The Hills – “Blank Passports”
5. The Rollercoaster Project – “What Happened”
6. Emily Rodgers – “Hurricane”
7. 60 Watt Kid – “We Come From The Bright Side”
8. Buttonhead – “Robocop Sunset”

So in case you missed the news, the Dow dropped below 7K today and hit a 12-year low. That doesn’t really have much to do with Azeda Booth other than that it is during crazy times like this that taking some time to get lost in music can be especially therapeutic. You probably have a favorite album to curl up with, but why not take a listen to Azeda Booth’s new EP, Tubtrek, it has a price that is right for our current economic hard times (free) and while Tubtrek’s eight track’s of glitch and electronic experimentalism likely wouldn’t be classified as relaxing by most, it certainly will give your mind something new to explore other than your latest stock balance sheet.

Download Tubtrek here.
