The love is in the air!

We’ve made this a home for all. Long live Midwest electronic music! Huge thank you to everyone who celebrated with us - you’re all part of the family, whether you like it or not. This was a prelude to Dawn of Digital, opening tonight, Friday May 1st! A celebration of the visual culture surrounding this one. Join us! We’d love to have you. DMs welcome. Rsvp link in bio.

The electronic music obsessed! Today is the day!!! 🎉🎉 Nothing short of a Midwest IDM revival is at hand. Decades long masters of the craft drop their “since the 90s” skills on @stillmachine ‘s brand new remix record “Echoes of Echoes Within” which releases everywhere this very day. An absolutely stunning collection of laptop music’s finest from @salvobeta @distille.music @tfnc.hq @thesanford machwhat, @pylbug_din & @martialfields Pick it up on CD and cassette at our @bandcamp and stream it everywhere. Links in bio. Chicagoans can catch the action LIVE tonight as 4 of the artists take the stage at @publicworksgallery ‘s PLAY event - Friday 4/24 8-11pm. A who’s who of Someoddpilot Records artists, friends and collaborators, this is a group of musicians who have performed & written together for over two decades. Most of them appear on the last remix compilation released on SOPR, @salvobeta ‘s “evil vs. evil: the kids in the neighborhood pick up their bats and remix abrasive stuttering” in 2003. They are reunited here 23 years later, with more to come from each of them on future SOPR releases. @thesanford Sanford Parker, who plays bass in @black_cross_hotel , records and mixes most current SOPR music from a recording studio located in the old @someoddpilot office on the north side of @chicago , which, uncoincidentally, sits above a concrete bunker that serves as a rehearsal space for many of the artists on the label. @distille.music has been in multiple bands with the label founder and members of @stillmachine . both still machine and @martialfields are one half of metal band Beak and The Timeout Drawer. And on and on. To say SOPR is a family affair is nearly an understatement. What comes with years of friendship is an undeniable shorthand that hastens collaboration, love and most of all, fun. Thank you for listening! Someoddpilot Records is your home, too. 📸 by ray dybzinski Video & design by @chriseichenseer , @someoddpilot #idm #electronicmusic #newmusic #chicagomusic

Friends! Enemies! Heroes! Anti-Heroes! We are so proud to showcase the awesome remixes of our songs! Friday! April 24! 2026! Hope to see you there! ———————- On Friday, April 24th, we are gathering the architects of the Chicago underground for a rare evening of live electronics and experimental sound. This show is a resurrection of the energy that defined the legendary Monday night PLAY series at @Dannystaverm throughout the 90s and early 2000s. We’re bringing together veteran musicians and core SOPR roster members for a night of performances from artists who rarely, if ever, take over the PA. THE LINEUP: @salvobeta (Sean Wolfe & Dan Smith) @tfnc.hq (@euhu_ & @pylbug_din ) @distille.music (Jason Terchin — Timeout Drawer) @martialfields (Jon Slusher & Jason Goldberg — Timeout Drawer, Beak) THE DETAILS: Friday, April 24th Doors 8PM | Show 8:30PM @publicworksgallery (2141 W. North Ave.) ADMISSION & EXCLUSIVES: $15 suggested donation at the door. $25 donation includes a copy of the brand new SOPR remix cassette or CD: “Echoes of Echoes Within”—dropping officially at the event. 💿📟 Come for the sound, stay for the community. Drinks and NA options provided by our friends at @spitefulbrewing , @mijentatequila , @stillatx , and @ayrloom_ny . 🍻

Unlocking the “pop” in a parallel dimension. We’ve teamed up to bring you the final single before the full drop of the ‘Echoes of Echoes Within’ remix collection. @tfnc.hq has taken the title track from @stillmachine ’s recent LP and reimagined everything but the vocals to create something that feels both alien and, on purpose, deeply human. “Devices don’t have to divide us,” the duo made up of @pylbug_din and @euhu_ tell us. TFNC reverse-engineered the original track into MIDI “sheet music” and played it back through custom virtual instruments and foley percussion recorded everywhere from a NY hotel to a Costco tire shop.  ‘Echoes of Echoes Within’ arrives April 24th via @someoddpilotrecords . Limited edition CDs and cassettes are available for pre-order now at the link in our bio. Chicago, we’ll see you this Friday, April 24th at @publicworksgallery . We’re celebrating the release and the relaunch of the PLAY series with live sets from TFNC, @salvobeta , @martialfields , and @distille.music   Link in bio to stream “Echoes Within (TFNC Remix)” and RSVP for the show.  #IDM #ChicagoMusic #ElectronicMusic #PostPunk #NewMusic
