solipsistic NATION No. 77: Native State Records

Native State Records is a west coast electronic music label that explores the boundaries between downtempo, idm, dub, and chillout. I’ve featured several artists from Native State Records on solipsistic NATION in the past such as Rena Jones, Shen and Nalepa so it was only a matter of time before I had Evan as a guest on the show.

Evan recently launched Somnia, a sublabel of Native State Records. Somnia releases ambient, electronic, minimalist, modern classical, electro acoustic, and “other” recordings. If Somnia’s first release, Caverns of Time, is an indication of the direction the label is heading in, then Somnia is destined for greatness.
