A long-simmering update from Drum Machine Editions

We enter our Spotify era and catch you up 9 months' worth of happenings

We’re on Spotify

Many of you wrote in asking us who would fill the void after Neil Young left Spotify, so we enlisted our friend and collaborator Chad McGaw (Handsome Pants) to take care of business. Now you can listen to our entire music catalogue in the Spotify playlist below (or name your price for any digital album over on Bandcamp).

It’s been a minute

Here’s what we’ve been up to!

• We had a blast at Asheville Zine Fest! Blue Ridge Public Radio interviewed Erik for a story about it: “In digital era, zine publishers haven’t stopped expressing themselves by hand.”

• We popped up at the first-ever Nite Market at DIFFERENT WRLD down the street here in Asheville—check out more of their events here.

• We exhibited in the Fanzineist Vienna Art Book & Zine Fair (online edition) alongside 105 other indie publishers and artists from 35 countries.
