Introducing Dot Dash Recordings

Having spent years resisting the temptation, Remote Control set up Dot Dash in mid 2004 as a new label for Australian artists.

Dot Dash is a collaboration between the two companies - Remote Control provides publicity, marketing and label management while Inertia looks after distribution and sales.

The label works exclusively with Australian artists, at a time when a surge of new acts and new music fans are emerging on the scene.

Wolf & Cub's Vessels - Released 2 September 2006. Out of Adelaide, Wolf & Cub have described their music as a "walking contradiction", which might account for their music drawing comparisons to the Fall, the Birthday Party and the Happy Mondays. Vessels received great reviews and was a Triple J feature album.

Snowman's self-titled album - Out 23 September 2006. Snowman began playing live in Perth and soon developed a cult following. Since stumbling upon each other at school they have toured nationally with the likes of Interpol, The Liars and Wolfmother, as well as playing many dingy bars all on their lonesome. Their sound is strange, beautiful, jagged, swampy, hypnotic, abstract, punk rock, ambient, loud and quiet.

Ned Collette's Jokes & Trials - Released 25 July 2006. Ned Collette’s musical history to date draws on a broad sound pallet: an honours degree in modern composition, works for string quartets, various electro-concrete pieces and playing in a variety of loose fit outfits whilst focusing his talents in City City City. Live, Ned has developed a unique technique of using guitar loops and delays on stage, building percussive and melodic layers, over which he presents his songs.

Deloris's new album Fake Our Deaths - Released 30 August 2004. Deloris's previous releases marked them out in the forefront of Australia's young songwriter movement. Fake Our Deaths features radio favourites, The Unbroke Part Of It, Dead Drunks and Playing The Spaces. The Age newspaper got it right when they said: "A huge future awaits Deloris."

New Buffalo's debut LP The Last Beautiful Day - Released 20 September 2004. New Buffalo is Melbourne singer-songwriter Sally Seltmann. Sally already has an international profile, with Uncut magazine describing her work as "pretty much perfect" and NME raving about her "sparkling pop soundscapes". New Buffalo's debut album, The Last Beautiful Day, features guest appearances from Beth Orton and Jim White from the Dirty Three.

Nightstick's self-titled debut EP - Released August 02 2004. Conceived in a Brisbane carpark in early 2003 by former ping-pong adversaries Martin Lee (ex-Regurgitator) and Heinz Riegler (ex-Not From There), Nightstick immediately cracked Triple J's playlist, performed at the 2004 Big Day Out, and set about releasing their five-track EP. With Full Fathom Five's Tam Patton completing the three-piece, Nightstick's urgent, direct and electric music make them one of the most exciting live bands in the country.
