Paris-based electronic imprint Institubes loves its babies, it really does. It's just that sometimes it needs a little time to itself to relax, you know? So the brass at Institubes are ponying up airfare and shipping label artists Para One, Surkin, Orgasmic, and Curses! over the pond, where they'll all make sure to be polite to their hosts, remain cautious around strangers, and call every chance they get. Right, kids?

And we'd be especially remiss if we didn't tack this onto the proverbial refridgerator of Institubes news: label stalwart Para One's 2006 LP Epiphanie will finally get a North American release September 11 via Naive/Ryko. Gold stars all around.
