The 24 hour $5 sale of Antigravity I ran on August 1st was so popular that I’ve decided to do something similar. This time, you can pick up Antigravity AND two other CDs for a mere $15 total! Initially, fellow electronic artist sgx offered up two CDs to the deal, but they sold so fast that he only has one participating now. Taking advantage of the deal is simple. Just add these CDs to your cart:

Antigravity
Better Than Sliced Beats (the sgx remix album)

Then choose one more from the following list:

CD Baby Special Sale

Once you have ‘em all in your cart, the price will drop to $5 a CD. Really an incredible deal, and a great way to try out some new artists without hurting your wallet too much.

Additionally, I’ve also instituted a referral program for anyone who gets three people to purchase *any* of my albums through this website OR CD Baby. Buyers can note who referred them on both CD Baby as they check out, or by emailing me after making the Paypal purchase. If you refer three people, you’ll get a digital download of any one of my albums for free. You can apply this towards the future release of my upcoming ethnic/electronic side project, as well.

Once you’ve referred three people that actually make the purchase, just email me and provide me with their info so I can double-check, along with the CD that you want. I’ll get you the link ASAP.

For those of you who are like me and do a lot of shopping on Amazon.com (man, that super saver discount is great!) I’m proud to announce that Antigravity is now available for sale there. Just use the following link to pick it up:

For ONE DAY ONLY - August 1st, starting at 12:01AM, and ending 11:59PM, you can pick up Antigravity for just $5 at CD Baby. NOT the digital version. The actual, physical copy. If you’ve been on the fence, or you only have the iTunes version, this is your chance to grab the album at a ridiculously low price.

The link will be at the CD Baby shop right here:

Feel free to tell your friends, buy extra copies and resell them, post on your MySpace about it, etc…. I’m not crazy, I swear!!

If you’ve visited the zircon MySpace within the last few days, you’ve probably noticed that the blog there is now home to an electronic music review column I’ve just started writing. I’ll be updating it on a regular basis - anywhere from daily to weekly - covering artists, songs, albums, DJ mixes, remixes, and anything else that comes my way. I’ve started with a review of a free album by an unsigned indie artist named Beatdrop, but you can expect reviews of all kinds of artists in the blog, including major label acts.

In other news, Antigravity tracks have been cleaning up on Garageband, with “Mindbender” earning both Track of the Day AND Track of the Week (Techno category) and a perfect 5/5 reviewer rating. “Breathing You In” topped the active Trance charts just a few days ago, hitting #1 and entering the top 40 of all time in the Trance category. Even if you’re not a musician, you can show your support by creating an account there and adding yourself as a fan of mine.

My most-excellent artist & website designer Chad Behnke just upgraded the zircon MySpace. No longer a default… finally! I’ll be putting up some exclusive stuff there every so often, so be sure to friend me and check in every so often.

After a few more weeks on the Garageband charts, “Breathing You In” has climbed to the top 15 in the Trance category and was recently named Trance Track of the Week! It has also received awards for “Best Female Vocals”, “Best Production”, and “Best Melody” in the Trance category. The track is also now on the “all time” Trance charts on Garageband as well as the broader Electronica charts. Stay tuned for more updates…

I just finished up a new original song, “ROMance” - and it includes me singing, so you know it’s gonna be interesting. It’s a song about geek love, inspired by autobiographical events with my girlfriend Jill. Influences on it range from Freezepop to Star Salzman and I went the full mile with vocoding, 80s drums, robot voices, and chiptune solos. While the sentiment behind it is of course real, it’s not a “serious” track, so this is just a freebie release for your enjoyment

Listen & download here!

I also wanted to announce that my MySpace page is undergoing renovations. If you’re on there, feel free to friend me. You can even grab the “Hoookah” player, which includes several cuts from Antigravity, and put it on your own page to spread the love.

The song “Breathing You In” (feat. Jillian Goldin) off my new album Antigravity is the trance track of the day at Garageband.com. Garageband - not to be confused with the sequencing software of the same name - is a huge independent music community with tens of thousands of people posting and reviewing songs in all sorts of genres. Expect updates on chart positions of this song (and others from the album) soon!

ANTIGRAVITY, my third original album, has officially started shipping today worldwide! It’s the biggest zircon release yet, featuring no less than four other artists and nearly outselling Impulse Prime in preorders alone. Pick up your copy at CD Baby for $14.99 or head to the Zircon Studios shop for the digital version. It’s also available on iTunes!

If you head to the video game remixes section you’ll also see a new remix, “Above Reason” from the game Streets of Rage 2. This is an old-school collab between myself and tefnek with some help from Rellik. It’s a big beat, butt-kickin’ romp through the stage 4 music, “Under Logic”. As always, check out OverClocked ReMix for more great FREE arrangements of both classic and modern video game tunes.

You may have also noticed that I have a new website! Having been in the works for nearly a year, my good friend & colleague from the days of VGDJ, Chad Behnke (aka Cyan_Ide) has finished the site you see before you - available in both Flash AND HTML. He was also the art designer for Antigravity’s packaging and insert. Give the man a round of applause! (But don’t forget to shoot him an email if you are encountering technical difficulties - he’s the new webmaster!)

Preorders for my third original album, Antigravity are now up! The album will be released on or a little before May 10th, but if you preorder, you will pay less ($13 as opposed to $15) and it will ship to you sooner. The CD Baby page also has previews for all the songs - check it out.
