The first batch of Art Mechanix’s 2025 new releases and reissues are now available on digital platforms. All releases have new mixes, mastering, and/or other adjustments.

The initial wave are all Poperratic releases: “Vagus the Wandering Nerve (XX Edition)”, “Always the Weird Ones“, “Blue Like You“, and “Shake the Ground“. If you’ve purchased previous editions of Vagus, Blue Like You, or All Dolled Up (which contains the Shake the Ground trio), send proof of purchase or a screenshot of the release in the “purchased” section of your music store account or player to receive these new updates for free. You may also qualify for free downloads of these and future discounts with purchases from our merch store or with qualifying efforts to help to spread the word about the good work and good news being generated around here. Offer only good through September 21, 2025. See each release’s page here on Art Mechanix for more details.

Releases to follow include a refreshed “Garagio” and “Bad Girl” from Sister Transistor, Poperratic’s “Paper Crown EP,” and Thrillharmonik’s “A Story Foreword.” After that, ARMX will primarily shift focus to primarily new, unheard, and less heard recordings.

We’re currently in the process of preparing final artwork and audio work for vinyl, CD, and cassette editions of Vagus. ARMX is partnering with a few on-demand facilities to make these versions possible. The vinyl edition will The vinyl edition will be a 2 x LP set with a full-color 12-page booklet designed by Jammes Luckett, a complete revamp of the dossier first seen in the 2006 version while celebrating nearly 20 years since its release. The vinyl will currently come from a UK manufacturer. However, in light of current events in the U.S., please note that music is considered “informational material,” and these are not expected to be subject to tariffs.

ARMX has secured a partnership with two new distribution partners, one of which will sell and ship physical goods for us from various platforms, including Amazon and eBay. We’ll initially start with CDs but may later ship vinyl and cassettes to them.
