in 2007 we released the Victor Xray Dark Arts of Dub EP: from the mind of Scot Artt (previously Now:Zero, Nerve Agent et al). It's smooth / influences melded with the & of his earlier incarnations.

It is with great sadness that TransCom found out today that Michael Gudinski has passed. Michael was the brains of Mushroom Records. He cultivated and supported the careers of many Australian artists and for that we thank him. He was so young, just 68. I'm sure he had so much he had yet to do. RIP!!!!!!!

in 1997 Trans:Com released the seminal debut album Empiricism 7 from Low Key + N**e. Low Key Operations (Michael Hogg) debuted on the Cyberia compilation in 1995 with several cutting breakbeat techno tracks, and by 1997 had progressed far beyond that into experimental dark techno territory; truly original. N**e Productions (Clare McGrogan) added her emotive spoken word performance, completing a picture of unique experimentation and originality. The CD was launched at the (original) IMA on Ann & Gipps St, supported by VISI (Andy Bagley) and Tryptych along with an amazing visual art exhibition. Available on Bandcamp with bonus tracks: https://transcom.bandcamp.com/album/empiricism-7

We also promoted the album with a video clip, which you can still see on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mw67BZ9Gg5U

in 2013 Trans:Com released the Moment EP from The Isle. Usually focused on the label and its other bands & artists, Anna & Dennis (as The Isle) occasionally find time to produce their own unique combination of synth-pop and electronica. Moment is a concise and intriguing 4-track EP, led by the electro/pop Union and single La Femme Exotique.

It has been a very forgettable year, but we’re optimistic about a terrific 2021 – full of new releases, BNE Archive phase 2, another Brisbane Indie Label market day, and much more!

We’ve done a deep dive into our storage and found that we’re down to our last few copies of the amazing BNE book, so we’re making these final copies available as a special Christmas 2020 deal for our Australian fans @ only $50 per book (normally $75), and because we also found a hidden stash of particular (and rare) Trans:Com CD titles you can choose any 2 CDs from the available selection at no extra cost.

Awesome value – particularly if you’re on Secret Santa duties!
