Releases

Animalia presents the first in a series of 2 x 12” compilations… For volume one, comes Microevolutions… An homage to the label’s continued growth and evolution, a label dedicated to authentic celebrations of talented local artists. Here, Animalia returns to its roots with a release compiled by the members of Menage (plus special guests Ebbs n Flow), all compiled in the northern suburbs of Naarm (Melbourne).  The compilation showcases the various moods and facets that make up the deep yet somehow undefinable Animalia sound.  From deep techno to UK garage and everything in between, Microevolutions is an earnest reflection of the diversity of sound that makes Animalia so special.

Dashiell - Going Nowhere, Fast   12" (Previews)

Pollinate Records founder Dashiell offers his first LP "This Colourful World" to the label. 

The album was recorded at his home studio in Coburg, Melbourne and features field recordings of the surrounding area. The process began at the beginning of 2020. Originally intended as an ambient album, the project morphed over the course of two years, adding and subtracting rhythms and varying tempos until coming to its conclusion, a sonic rendition of an uncertain future, equally as optimistic as it is cynical.

Dashiell - This Colourful World (Snippets)

Dashiellʼs debut LP on his own imprint Pollinate Records is set to hit the virtual
shelves this August.
Recorded from 2020 - 2022 in the Melbourne suburb of Coburg, the album
features field recordings of the artists local area and surroundings, as well as
experimental synthesis and drum patterns. Unlike his more dance floor
orientated releases on Felt Sense and Animalia, the album exposes a deeper,
more personal reflection of the artist.
Undefinable by a single genre, Dashiell explores varying styles and narratives
throughout the piece, revisiting familiar glitchy territories and exploring foreign
ambient soundscapes. The work delivers a sonic rendition of an uncertain
future, as optimistic as it is cynical.
Dashiell has just recently returned from a string of European shows with his
band Ménage, including gigs at The Breakfast Club party in Amsterdam and
Harmony Records party in Prague. With more time now to focus on his Label
Pollinate, Dashiell is determined to shine light on Melbourne based producers
and artists with more releases from the label expected this year.
The album will be released on CD and digital formats available through the
Pollinate Records Bandcamp.
