waking records

waking records is a non-profit label currently run out of NYC that was started out of a need i felt to connect theory and action, to make it all mean something more than just awesome records. this is meant to be more than simply sharing ideas and raising awareness, which are critical parts of what we must do, but should be the means, not the ends. if it all stops there, at awareness, what does that do? what is the purpose of highly conscious passivity, and isnt, our dreams just die. if we keep them locked inside, trapped in the safe cycle of preaching to the choir our ideas will drown in themselves. we are part of something bigger than a safe, secluded scene and we must not hope to merely save ourselves and secede from the world around us. we must be the spark.



waking records is my attempt to make this all a little more meaningful in the larger context, unite theory and practice, and allow what we do to benefit more than just those people who listen to it. it is a project born out of need, a need i have to have two important parts of my life to coexist and complement each other, and initially a need for supplies at the school where I teach.

do me a favor, don't advertise in the comments section. it rubs me the wrong way. i'm not sure why, but it just seems rude. if you want me to check out your new mp3s, feel free to send me a message. if you REALLY think you need a banner or something in my comments, talk to me about it. if we're friends, post away. if not, you're stuff will probably get deleted.
