Year in Review 2011:  This year Octofoil Records released an amazing EP from Keef Baker's powernoise side project Sharps Injury, titled "Back from the Dead." Maduro released the introspective and Chinese-influenced break beat "Chasing Dragons" and several videos were comissioned - one from Colin Weiss who filmed "From the Pit" in Vietnam. Maduro also released "Black Magic Kingdom" on Halloween, which was recorded over the summer from captured audio in New Orleans. "Black Magic Kingdom" was later released with a limited edition hand-painted thumbdrive. Octofoil records contributed over $1,200 to building a girl's school in Cambodia, licensed numerous tracks for DVDs, and made the annual appearance at Spellbound's Freak Bazzar. The year ended with Teleoptyk (a Maduro industrial side project) releasing the "Krampus" EP. Octofoil Records plans to continue releasing new material in 2012 from the likes of Teleoptyk and others.

Maduro - Black Magic Kingdom Limited Edition Thumbdrive (OCT20)

It is all contained in a hand made gris gris (mojo) bag with assorted trinkets. Price $25  (only 10 left) 

Maduro - Black Magic Kingdom (OCT19) 
Maduro's new full-length "Black Magic Kingdom" is now available for download. It is a concept album highlighting the American occult tradition in the context of New Orleans voodoo, magic, and spiritual totems. The album was spawned from field recordings in the New Orleans French Quarter in the summer of 2011. It is now available on iTunes worldwide, eMusic, Amazon, Spotify, Zune, Napster, Medianet, Nokia, IHeartRadio, and VerveLife.


Maduro - Chasing Dragons (OCT18)
Maduro's full-length Chasing Dragons was released on March 7th 2011 (as a digital download only). Recorded in less than a month time, Chasing Dragons is the most personal and introspective of Maduro's releases, capturing both Chinese ethnic sounds and ambient melodies. Chasing Dragons is now available on iTunes worldwide, Amazon, emusic, Zune, Shockhound, Nokia, Medianet, and Spotify. Mastering by Eric Beam.

Sharps Inury - Back from the Dead (OCT17)
Sharps Injury's new release "Back from the Dead" EP  is now available for digital download only and from most renowned digital download services (iTunes, emusic, Amazon, Zune, Napster, etc). Sharps Injury is an industrial/powernoise side project of Keef Baker. Sharps Injury shows a different side of Keef Baker. Where Keef Baker is about intricacy, change and melodic complexity, Sharps Injury is much more base. Sharps Injury mixes calculated rhythmic powernoise with dark sonic ambient architecture. After a long break following the 2004 EP (I Told my Girlfriend this was a 12") Keef Baker as Sharps Injury returns with another sonic assault with his latest endeavor (Back From the Dead EP) a release full of rage and rhythm (on Dancefloor tracks like Chopsmacker and Medibot) and seething contempt (on the nearly impossible to follow "falling down stairs" tempo of The Krotons and the distaste for structure shown on The Dominators).
