RUBINE RELEASED: PRESS, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, AND MORE.


RUBINE IS LIVE, BABY! The album is streaming everywhere. I am greatly thankful for the press on the record, and the support it has gotten so far. The album peaked at NUMBER SEVEN on the Chicago Ambient charts via Bandcamp. The rest of the cassette run sold out within a few days of the album going live on the 8th and was totally gone by the 13th. That's insane to me, I am so humbled by the love for the record. Please keep bumping it! Share it with friends, stream it, tell people, tell your dogs, I dunno. The solo Bandcamp has done really well lately, it's gone from 20 something followers to over 50 in the span of a few weeks and this is the most any of my records has been downloaded. It's crazy to even begin process the success of it compared to prior records.
As far as press goes, Rubine was featured on Chicago Soundcheck's Fresh Tracks, which you can check out here. Many thanks to Brian Shamie for the feature and support with both my own projects and Vanity Contest. 

I was also on the Aux Populi Podcast this past weekend, it went live today. We dig deep into my past, talked about the difficulty of describing art, and we talked about Rubine. Thanks to Andy King for hosting. It was an excellent chat and Andy's a very thoughtful host! Check it out here.

I truly cannot thank everyone enough for the support on the record, it's so appreciated and it means the world.

Thanks!

Let's catch up

 *FOR MARKETING CLASS* Hey everybody, So it's been a minute since I've checked in! I've been rolling along with the Grief in Cycles shows and the records have been doing well. I wanted to catch up and talk about a few things, mainly the latest happenings with my projects right now and then go over the larger plan for next year. Regarding the work behind Care Center, it's on hold right now. Nick and I are both busy with our respective main projects. Pray for Death is going into the studio this summer to record our debut album, and the solo stuff is still fresh, so there's nothing on that radar right now. Since we're at the halfway point of the year, I figured this would be a good time to talk about some plans for a larger-scale thing I want to make happen. I bring it up now because it's something that is going to be immense to pull together and make happen. Within the next year I plan to launch Chicago Record Swap, a bi-annual event hosted at the beginning an

An Interview with Ilan Rubin of The New Regime, Nine Inch Nails

Photo by Oliver Halfin, you can find them here So, as part of my class project, I was required to get two interviews with music industry professionals. I got the opportunity to interview none other than The New Regime mastermind, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee, and Nine Inch Nails drummer Ilan Rubin. I recently received his latest release Heart Mind Body & Soul on vinyl and got in touch with Ilan to ask him some questions about his career. Ilan is the sole member of the alt-rock project The New Regime, and handles all of the songwriting and performing himself, and produces each record with his brother Aaron. Of course, I also had to ask a couple of questions about his new album, as it topped my best albums of 2020 list. Ilan was incredibly kind and gave me the "OK" to put the interview up here. *This interview was conducted as part of the Hustle Your Career project for BravenX's Winter/Spring 2021 program, to get insight from people that work in the industry tha
