Beginning in 2022, Lord Brocton, a sweet potato, acquired the assets of Mayday Records and is now in control of this page.
Mayday Records was created to release the recordings of Mr. Phil Aphonic, mostly under the name of Infant Mortality Rate (IMR). Phil also occasionally puts out  music under the alter-ego of frybrain, who is working on a variant of the chopped and screwed style he calls 'scraped and chewed', and most recently Amphibian Fields. Phil was also a member of the noise group Turmoil in the Toybox, and 90's space-punk band Sad Pygmy.
