From the contexterrior newsletter November 10 2004:

TEXTONE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
textone is on a bloody rampage people, pure blood, pure hunger, and we ask that you take part in this feast mama! we have slowed down the release schedule a bit, because truthfully right now we simply can't keep up. as mentioned earlier in the letter for our 20th release we did jay vs ricardo with remixes, shortly following that we offered you a tasty treat from samim and michal.
coming up we have some goodness that you won't soon forget...

textone 22 > the vivian project (aka hearthrob) this is another new family member to be featured on contexterrior vinyl. here he drops some really forward thinking minimalism. enough bass to pump a floor, but mind the time when you play it. one of our favorite artists right now. so of course we gotta spread the love. (contrary to popular belief jesse actually has stinky feet, and he has some sort of fetish involving putting plastic bags over the heads of super cool chicks.... ie. regina >>>don't do that)

textone 23 > popkan! this is a new artists hailing from the burbs of chicago, minimal funky grooves .... enough elements to catch a house head or a more serious minimal nerd (like me), this is popkan's first official release and we are quite happy to offer it on textone. you can imagine that we will prolly be releasing some of this guy on the vinyl tip! we expect popkan to be one of our biggest bread winners, a true investment in our goal to become millionaires ......step back hoes we on a rampage.
