- Giant Swan, Bodyjack, Imogen and more contribute exclusive tracks to the Dublin-based label's new run.
Sunil Sharpe is compiling six records to celebrate hitting 20 releases on his label, Earwiggle.
The Irish techno DJ and producer, who launched his label in 2011, has put together a new compilation series to mark the occasion, bringing 24 artists on board across six Eel Behaviour entries. I Hate Models, Delta Funktionen, Mary Velo, Imogen and Giant Swan, recently profiled on RA, contribute alongside others to the compilations, hitting on electro, acid and industrial, plus a "long-lost hardtrance [track] from 1994," according to today's announcement.
Each 12-inch is named after a type of eel—Conger, Moray, Sniper, Sawtooth, Onejaw and Bobtail—and features artwork by Adult Art Club's Jonny Costello. The first Eel Behaviour EP will land on October 26th, with the next three records slated for release through December 7th. (Release dates for the final two entries in the series are still to be confirmed.)
Earlier this year, Sharpe and DeFeKT teamed up for a collaborative album as Tinfoil. Sharpe last launched a label in 2015, On The Hoof, which is separate from Earwiggle.
