Non Projects is a record label dedicated to the support and discovery of Los Angeles' most innovative artists and composers. Mislaid within an ever-changing and confused recording landscape, Non Projects offers imaginative works of art and sound.
With the aim to showcase each artist's devotion to their love of music and the joy of uncovering hidden and undiscovered sounds and resonances, each release is available with supplemental materials providing a commonly forgotten tangible experience no longer associated with acquiring music.

Non Projects commissioned our friends Atley Kasky and Dylan Lathrop to design a series of 24x36 black and white posters for the Asura Release Party that took place January 30 at Echo Curio in Los Angeles. There are still a few of these left and can be obtained at upcoming Non Projects related events.
Another great night! Read more for more photos:
Asura & Ana Caravelle
January is the month of Asura. With anticipation building towards the release date of January 19th, I have put together a mix of my favorite non album cuts to tide everyone over. Some of these date back to over two years ago with a few selections from a self-released and out of print EP under the Nyjah Huston moniker. I hope you enjoy.

A favorite at Non Projects, this had to be posted at some point. Beyonce acapella over a Keith Jarrett saxophone sample flip and some horseshoe clangin' for good measure. This will be included in a mix of Anenon's favorite non album Asura tracks and remixes to be found here in a week or so. Enjoy.
A piece for tenor saxophone, voice and laptop and a very small taste of what's to come on the upcoming Anenon full length (tbd 2010).

Sequins And Skeletons is the brainchild of Justin Hopkins, a good friend of Non Projects. Fragmented sound clips, live instrumentation, immense programming skills and infectious melodies are all par for the course here. A future release on Non Projects may be in the works. Stay tuned and enjoy.
Sequins And Skeletons - "Aggro Crag"
Sequins And Skeletons - "Music For The Ambitious Careerwoman"
