The second full length CD from Toronto based Public Transit Recordings
- The Blue Night Network - is dedicated to the the spirit of the
transit system circa 3 AM. Upon release it will transport Toronto's
underground music scene to another eminent stop. Backed nationally
by Fusion3 Distribution, the BNN project strives to challenge mediocre
electronic music and breakdown categories by blending many styles and
influences.
Featured on this dark and moody compilation are independent artists
from the city and beyond. Though their styles and influences are
diverse, the musicians on Blue Night Network unify to take the listener
on a mysterious journey through the city asleep at night. Underground
artists such as Rainfield, Monochrome, Enhanced, Murr, Genetic, Cold
Mission, Altitude, Rosina aka LAL, Audix, and Moonstarr contribute some
of their most challenging pieces to the latest PTR release. Some have
called their music hip hop, drum n'base and techno, but, as co-founder
of PTR Kevin Moon states: "We try to draw connections between music
rather than separations."
Public Transit Recordings, the brainchild of Kevin Moon (aka Moonstarr),
began as a cluster of loose demo tapes that Moonstarr would preview
everyday while riding the subway to work. Unrefined and raw, Moonstarr
saw the potential and innovation behind these early demo tapes. In 1998
he approached the circle of underground musicians and friends and
nurtured his vision into Public Transit Recordings.
The first compilation, Code: 416, received heavy rotation on college
radio stations across Ontario. Critics in magazines such as Now, Eye,
Exclaim!, and Peace Magazine praised the album and helped PTR gain
recognition within the Greater Toronto Area. -hopefully this klangwerk
release will get this label greater recognition throughout the world!-
Live events, such as the smoke-free Fresh Air, showcased PTR artists
and helped raise the awareness of Toronto's air quality. The second
release (vinyl-only targeted at the DJ market) Metropass EP was 100%
Canadian artistry and ranked one of the top releases of 1999 by Denise
Benson of Eye Magazine and CKLN 88.1 FM. It was also awarded top pick
for 1999 by Prasad Bidaye of Exclaim Magazine.
With The Blue Night Network, Public Transit Recordings continues its
fresh approach to the local and international electronic music scenes.
