Last few days we see some confusing but fascinating drama in vapour world.
We don't know if this beginning of chaos era or something else.
So we just publish here official statement from influential label Pinkbox Teleport.
For sure this more then just question 'who is who'.
We think this is wind of changes, so here the link to original discussion and everyone is invited to take part: https://redd.it/71cxe2
After yesterday's provocation on OESB, and 'ogritch vs ross khmil' drama, we received a lot emails with questions about music on Pinkbox Teleport which was stolen from musician known as James Ferraro. It started with this tweet:
What we can say about it?
PBT Records, since the foundation of the label, has worked only with original music, and mostly with unknown artists (this fits the initial idea behind the label).
We never received copyright strikes from bandcamp, and never had any troubles with our roster. Even if we haven’t reached many people until now, Pinkbox Teleport has always been and still is a label about art, not about getting hype and cheap dramas.
For sure some of our albums have classic hypnagogic vibe, and we really love it. But this is not a good reason to say 'Stolen Ferraro's music', we find this accusation ridiculous. Talking about Ross Khmil we ensure that he never uses samples, all his music is original live recorded jams, and we saw him live several times. Ross Khmil's sound vision and approach is unique, and we are proud to work with him. People who believe in Ogritch's rumors are mistaking. The same can be said about those who believe in the yesterday's reddit post about HVRF.
Honestly we have known all those people for long time, but we never received any unreleased Ferraro's music. PBT records would like to be excluded from this narrative, but being a part of great community we concerned about our reputation and reputation of our friends. These days someone is trying to assure us that OESB/ROSSKHMIL/HVRF/OGRITCH/ICESNAKE/ - are the same person.
But truth it is about Ogritch and someone who wrote yesterday’s post who are only the same person in fact.
Here’s the original sequence: 'ogritch vs zomby' -> ‘ogritch vs oscob’ -> 'ogritch vs hype williams' -> 'ogritch vs bandcamp' -> 'hvrf callout'. If you pay enough attention, it is not hard to see all of that is just an theater of one actor — Ogritch, who tries to get some black hype. - Pinkbox Teleport
