We´ll leave the bunny behind and enter the year of the dragon! In Eastern philosophy, the Dragon is said to be a deliverer of good fortune and a master of authority. So, only good things to come. And as a little treat before we start with the mysterious 2012, you can download our ITK001 "Waiting The Summer" completely for free today.

Then Dolomites` "In Mid-Flight 723" got into this live mix from Andy Kisaragi at the TRANSCONTINENTAL EXTRAVAGANZA party at Arc in Bristol, 26th November 2011. 

And last but not least, Mimi The Hedgehog´s "Full On" from the "Waiting the Summer" EP got some fame on HotRod´s awesome weekly show at New Jersey´s WFMU station, among a couple of very interesting other artists!

Listen back here.

Thanx so much for the support from all. It means a lot!

Lotsa people are giving away free downloads at christmas to their fans, but we said - eff it - we´ll keep the excitement up and let you wait till next year to hear what´s new in the house of ITK! BUT - we have something great and maybe even better for you pals! What would music be without visual content, so we are happy to share this nice noisey video from our friend OMBRE BUENO out of Barcelona with you! Music comes from Daniele Carmosino.

Hey, yes we are live tonight again, this time with a special mix coming from Fonotecq out of Bucharest, Romania, playing some Juke, Footwork, UK Bass and generally awesome beats.
