Hello all,
My name is Ryan aka Raw Ryan on Facebook. Some of you already know me, and if not, hopefully we can network and get to know one another.
Since 2011 I have run Ingrown Records, a small experimental tape label and netlabel releasing drone, ambient, electronic, synth, and noise. We've also done some vaporwave, free jazz, and psych folk stuff, so we generally cover anything underground, outsider, new agey, and weird. We just hit 40 physical releases and are on track to reach #50 in the next year. I'm really proud of all of these releases and can't wait for what comes next.
I also have a public access TV show and radio show called Aura Borealis. I work at the station as the video editor and TV technical director, and in addition to discovering new music, I really enjoy getting to bring in fellow artists to perform or guest DJ. I've been able to meet and film performances by some of my favorite people this way, and I'm forever grateful to get to do something that is so much fun.
I have also recently launched Ingrown Radio to provide even more opportunities to those who might wish to have their own program but might fall outside of the general restrictions of airing on the radio (one hour time limit, features or profiles on artists or in depth themes, etc). One of our artists even sent in a comedy show. The sky is really the limit for what we can do.
The door is always open for collaboration, so I invite anyone who might be interested in participating in any of these to simply give me a shout! I'm totally down whether you want to perform, do a guest mix, or have me play your new song. I live for this kind of stuff!
