2016's final update? it's a big one. (Patreon)

as you can see by the image: it's finally happening. pre-orders will open in january. we'll have to sell a minimum of 200 to get it made, but will make however many get funded even above that amount. a beautiful 12" orange record: BANDETTO BEST SELECTION.

i was able to collaborate with the endlessly talented AQ McArson (who also workedon ARGOS, WANDERLUST, and 2YR) and Brook Chipman (who also worked on 2YR) for the cover art, and it turned out gorgeous.

here's the tracklist:

A1 amnesiac

A2 hard hop 9th system

A3 speedy snail

A4 higher higher higher

A5 need u

B1 baby so hardcore

B2 radiata (semiVIP)

B3 rhythm guide

B4 fierce fortune

B5 nova fire

i think that's a pretty solid selection. the record is pretty packed, so it might be cut a little bit quiet, but it's worth it, i think.

again, the funding and pre-order stage will happen in January, and pre-orders will be open for 1-2 months! so you have a while to get your order in. after that, it can take up to 8 weeks to get the records made and sent out (sometimes a little longer), so some patience is required.

this may be the last update of the year - i have a ton of orders to get out over the next week, and at the same time have some pretty serious personal stuff to deal with. sorry that things have been a little sparse, but i hope you can agree that the output has been interesting enough to be worth it.

thank you so much for your support, and i'll be back soon, if not with more music, then at least with some news for the near future. lots of love, happy holidays, and please, take care of yourselves. if you ever need help or are dealing with personal issues, please reach out to somebody you trust, or to a help hotline. there's always somebody there for you.
