The water was clear and rippled softly in the light of the morning sun - the nets had been cast out into the ocean many hours before and now it was just a case of waiting patiently to see what might return. The bounty had been plentiful and joyous this spring but that didn't necessarily mean that it would continue prosperously through the year. The special coco fish traps had been set with intricate precision and skill but that was only a small part of the tropical master plan underway... 

Placid One is a producer of whom we are very familiar, having worked with him on the Ransom Note record label previously. Now he brings his elegant, intricate electronics to Gestalt Records as he prepares for a busy string of upcoming releases.

Ransom Note is an online music, arts and culture magazine. We provide a home for readers and writers with boundless enthusiasm, esoteric knowledge, fierce opinions and impeccable taste.

With our core team immersed in all aspects of dance music, we publish news, articles, and interviews covering the greatest in innovative, underground culture from across the globe. We offer regular, exclusive music and mixtapes from our favourite artists, and publish features shining a light on everything from the freshest new artists to the untold tales from rave history.

Alongside this we offer musings on film, books, life, and art, generating some context and controversy as an antidote to the reheated PR that clogs up the internet. Our office is fuelled by Tunnock’s Bars, cat memes, hangovers and a ridiculous, never ending love for our culture.

We're always interested in getting new writers on board – feel free to get in touch if you’ve got a story to tell.

With love until the grave.

We are a community of astronauts in search of the best electronic music in the galaxy.

In that search, we become a platform for premieres, reviews, mix series, free downloads, and interviews, as well as weekly and monthly lists of the best out there. 

So let's look up to the universe in search of the best galaxies and constellations. 

"The Sound is Out There."
