6.5.2010 - Early Summer
Early summer finds us busy and hard at work, and it's time for a quick update about our upcoming activities in June. On the 19th, Split Horizon plays a Katabatik/SPAZ combo party in the SFBAY, a fundraiser for Mutant Fest later this summer. Katabatik.org for more info. Then Split Horizon catches a quick flight to NYC to meet up with the rest of the From the Gut core for Saturation, our solstice transformed space event. A first of its kind for From the Gut, taking our ideas of transformed space our of Detroit, this promises to be a special evening of art, sculpture, and sound. Check press release linked under tactical media for more info! Note: We lost some data in a mess up by our web hosting company, so we're just reposting this now - sorry for any confusion.

Anyone who attended Deep Core already knows what a great success this event was. Together with our most slamming artists we rocked the dance floor and made a number of new friends while packing the Trumbellplex. Huge thanks to everyone that supported this event, either through hard work or simply attendence and vibrant energy. We've put up an Archive Page for Deep Core on the FTG site. We also need to announce the printing of The Dancing Star, a new zine exposing some of the theory behind our practice. It's really moving to see where things are heading. Through Split Horizon's relocation to the West Coast we hope to expand our efforts and effects, and bring more exciting events to the table. To keep up, you can check back here or better yet subscribe to our email list (on the right of this page). Following us on facebook also works, but we've found that joining the email list is better in the long run so we don't loose touch as these social media sites pass out of fashion. Check the April 2010 Void News for more info on what is cooking!

Time for a quick update to confirm that VOID011 - Realicide 'The Choice is Yours' E.P. will be out in time for our East Coast tour together in just 2 weeks! This collaborative effort is a bit of a departure from the sound Void Tactical has been working recently, but releasing on the more experimental Void imprint we stay true to the hard electronics that have inspired and driven our work for so long. This E.P. contains 4 of Realicide's signature gabberpunk tracks reworked into longer forms to be utilized by the capable DJ. Available very soon - don't miss out, or preorder shortly in our online store.

9.29.2009 - Early Autumn
It has been a busy and tumultuous summer, filled with many show, challenges, and triumphs. In June the Void team returned to one of the founding concepts of the From the Gut collective, putting together a full scale transformed space event title 'Threshold Experience.' Weaving art, sculpture, electronics, and music together while exploring themes of psychological suspension of time alongside the long days of the summer solstice, Threshold Experience was one of our most successful collective efforts yet. Jstat and Deadlines also made the trip to Chicago to play a couple slamming shows and perform live on the radio - a recording of which we have released on cd as Void 10. Later in the summer we were also glad to welcome many friends old and new to town for a string of solid shows over labor day weekend, celebrating the growing electronic music community nationwide. As the autumn begins, Split Horizon is once again on the road for a Pacific Northwest tour with our own Dimentia, a party in Los Angeles with solid allies Darkmatter Soundsystem, and an East Coast tour with Robert Inhuman celebrating the imminent release of Realicide's E.P. on Void. As winter slowly approaches, Void Soundsystem continues to go strong into the colder months with friends from Pittsburgh making the trip to Detroit. We also should very shortly have the Dimentia/Split Horizon 12" finally in the words as Void Tactical Media 002, as well as a 7" from Redrot and several other releases that are waiting in the wings. Thanks everyone for your support!
