As a label, the ethos of Image Research has consistently been to represent underground artists in an attempt to bring their sounds to a wider audience and help their artistic visions blossom to new heights.

Evolutions is a compilation that stays true to the sonic ground covered over the past 3 years, while also looking into the future with open eyes and ears.

18 artists coming forth with previously unheard and unreleased tracks. Techno, house, and ambient textures paint the compilation with a consistent tone and spirit while bending genres and constantly breaking conceptual barriers. A variety of moods and atmospheres flicker and fade, morphing into a continuous journey of mind and soul.

We proudly present Evolutions on Limited Edition Cassette and all streaming platforms.

PREMIERE: Foans - Black Beach [Image Research Records]

"Datagram has been the moniker of shapeshifting Tampa musician Scott Olson for the better part of the last decade.

In that time, the sound and styles of this project have shifted and morphed, painting with shades of glitch, downtempo, techno, and all that lurks in between.

With a new setup and some live sets in the books and on the horizon, Datagram unleashes a scorcher of an odyssey with his new single “Astral Projection”.

Slinky acid bass and tectonic club percussion bridge this song to the physical, while the synth layers orbit far-off worlds of fog and steam.

True to Datagram's nature, we come to expect nothing less than a song with the capability to mutate differently with each listen.

Join us as we proudly present the first of many in our newly minted Image Research singles series." - HPT

PREMIERE: Datagram - Astral Projection [Image Research Records]

"Justin Depth is the moniker of artist and co-label head of Image Research, Justin Myers. As a catch-all for his many different creations as producer and performer, his sound has touched on a near-infinite array of electronic sounds like IDM, ambient, drone, techno, broken-beat, downtempo, and many others. As 1/2 of the duo Alien House, he has also helped lay the foundation for a prolific output, most notably their most recent album ‘You’, a stunning display that exists in the cross-sections of futurist-leaning electronica.

Amidst a cloud of digital one-offs and concept-driven collected works, emerges the first physical Justin Depth offering to date, ‘Wired’. Engineered and realized through various tactile and interfacing methods, the 5 track EP is a crisp and tectonic offering, showing a keen attention to detail and a deep appreciation for beat-driven atmosphere. Against the backdrop of ambient texture and glossy surfaces, broken-down breaks and percussion patterns cut through with precision and fluidity. Familiar and unobtainable all at once. Music for distant memories and close encounters. Twilight frequencies wired in time." - HPT

PREMIERE | Justin Depth - So Far [Image Research]

Abrasive, dark, and intense, Ruminations is the latest offering from Silent Spirit, showcasing their ability to navigate the full spectrum of emotional and sonic extremes. The album unfolds like a psychological journey, delving deep into the turmoil of being trapped within one’s own mind. Shifting between relentless, rhythm-driven tracks and haunting, cinematic pieces, Ruminations is an immersive and introspective listening experience.

Tracks like “Unraveled” and “Spiral” hit with blistering energy, driven by fast-paced, intricate rhythms and pulsating basslines that feel almost claustrophobic in their intensity. These songs are raw, unrelenting, and evolving, embodying the chaos of spiraling thoughts and emotional unraveling. In contrast, pieces like “The Edge” and the title track “Ruminations” slow the pace but heighten the suspense, layering brooding synths and atmospheric textures that evoke a sense of isolation and introspection. These cinematic moments create an eerie calm, like the stillness before a storm. - JQ
