More details to follow, but expect harsh noise...

Following that, we have forthcoming releases from Subterrestrial and RedSK, a floppy compilation, a split, a super special release so super and so special that we've reserved the cat no DER006 for it, and a cd-r from Heirdrain (Yes, a cd-r, sorry floppy purists!)

Therefore we are now accepting submissions, whether you've worked with us before or not. Can be short bursts of noise, lo-bit stuff, full band grindcore, anything goes! Any format, any length, any style, as long as it's only around 150kb in size!

Deadline for submissions is the 19th June, so get to work and make me proud!

(PS DER will take a short break from tomorrow, so I will respond to anyone either submitting anything or wanting to buy something when DER is back open for business, probably around the second week of June!)
