About Circa1984 Records
The genesis of what was to become Circa1984 Records first began some time in the summer of '00. David Queener
approached Terry Goodwin after hearing a couple of mash-ups he'd done, stuff like mixing Johann Strauss III
with The Prodigy. He asked him to join his band, False Epiphany. He said sure. Time passed. Everyone
else left. They started a new group, false Epiphany. Terry turned a low-fi remix of the overture of
Star Trek VI - The Undiscovered Country into their first original track, and went from there. Terry
was having a ball, cutting up rough tracks in a waveform editor and piecing things together in a tracker. A
mutual friend, Stephen Plumb, joined fE.
They signed up to a promotions label. They liked their bands. They did a remix for one of them. They
were young and naive. The promotions label didn't help them, they realised. They had to help ourselves. false
Epiphany Productions started up. They got to work. They grew, a bit. Their earliest achievement was having some
stuff played on pirate radio in Iceland. But that's still something. The friend drifted away, and David
left to pursue a college education, leaving Terry on his own. He changed the name to Circa1984 Records.
We have a fair amount of releases now, and everything we've done so far has been free to download. We have
aspirations, but we're not greedy. Yet. There are almost a dozen artists on the label, but we're always on
the lookout for more people to join us. We're not about money, we're about creating. Circa1984 Records was
the foundation on which the Circal was built, taking the fun and experience of running a label consisting
of a group of friends and applying it to more varied creative endeavours.
