Seattle techno producer Jeff McIlwain, aka Lusine, will release an album of remixes on March 20 via Ghostly International. The CD/digital version of the collection is titled Podgelism and features remixes of Lusine by John Tejada, Matthew Dear, Apparat, Lawrence, Robag Wruhme, and Lusine himself, among others. Ghostly will also release an abbreviated 12" version titled Podgelism: Select Remixes, which features four of the most dancefloor-oriented remixes. It is also scheduled for a March 20 release. Doug Seay's video for "Still Frame" will come with the CD.

Speaking of Ghostly's danceable side, counterpart label Spectral Sound will release the first 12" in the Death Is Nothing to Fear series on February 20. Death Is Nothing to Fear 1 features Audion (aka Matthew Dear) on the A-side and Bodycode and newcomer Pär Grindvik on the B.

Dear is currently on a North American tour under his Audion alias. His remaining DJ dates continue through March, and Spectral is calling them the first installment of a bi-monthly North American "residency", which sort of sounds like a regular old tour to us. April and May's "residency" will feature Bodycode.
