echomusic is turning quite prolific since it morphed into a net-label right about the turn between 2011 and 2012 -it seems we should be expecting something from them every month or so from now.

Ciuta has been receiving notice in the past year within field-recording circles, and for good reason i might say, judging from the excerpts below. Designed for headphones, or some situation approximating headphone use:
