	MundoVibes \| Chicago Report: Hefty Records
		Hefty’s 41 releases run the gamut of genres, ranging from post-rock, to IDM, to jazz and down-tempo and the label is gearing up for another crop of divergent releases later this year, including a full lengths from Telefon Tel Aviv, Savath + Savalas.
		The actual records themselves aren’t any more important than the others but just the momentum that we have with those three projects are probably the best and the most promising for the future.
		The records that we did for him were just the reissues and we do everything we can to promote his performances now but I think what he’s doing now is a stretch for what we’re doing.

		Produced in micro amounts for the local population, the original recordings are incredibly hard to come by these days.
		Hefty, a Chicago-based label, has done a spectacular job with both of these discs.
		Hefty Records deserves kudos for making Phil Ranelin's interesting and individualistic music available to the world at large.

		I’d heard the music she was working on, but the l’Altre record wasn’t stylistically up my alley, or maybe I’m more on the production end of it, but she worked with Telefon Tel Aviv and that’s how I first got to meet her.
		I was really impressed with her contribution to that record, and wanted to work with her on mine.
		That was definitely a big part of why I wanted to sort of document her a little bit on the record, because it was a big part of what this record’s about.

		I pull the tape recorder from my pocket and place it one the table between the two of them, our friends, the coffee, hoping it will blend in up there with the sugar packets and the salt.
		Hefty Records began, more or less, after Hughes less-than-profitable college experience, as a way to get his own music out.
		Since 1995, Hefty has picked up enough speed for Hughes to take other artists onto his label, although it initially was an outlet for him to take an active role in his own music's production.

		He started Hefty in 1995 to release records by his short-lived experimental rock band, Bill Ding, in which he was responsible for programming and electronics, and before long he was putting out music by a number of local noisy rock bands like Ilium, Ghosts and Vodka, and Chisel Drill Hammer.
		While he was flipping through his records, looking for a potential collaborator, he ran across a series of soul-jazz recordings Detroit trombonist Phil Ranelin had cut for his own Tribe imprint in the 70s.
		Besides the Hefty showcase, it includes local electronic groups K-Rad and TRS-80, hip-hop MC Diverse, New York singer-songwriter Chocolate Genius, the AACM Ensemble (a big band led by Ernest Dawkins), Congolese salsero Ricardo Lemvo and his band Makina Loca, and the Blind Boys of Alabama, a jubilee-gospel group that started in 1939.

		My record player is one of those devices that I seem to fall in and out of favor with.
		Fortunately, there are companies like Hefty Records which realize there are lazy asses like me out there.
		Released over a roughly half-year span in 2000, the records were pressed with minimal artwork, minimal promotion, and with the main goal being a bulk release of fine music.

	NEWCITYCHICAGO.COM: Street Smart Chicago
		Given: Thanks to record labels and the music they release (everything from Tortoise to Quasi to 8 Bold Souls to Split Lip Rayfield, not to mention the blues and jazz sides of Delmark and Alligator), Chicago has developed its reputation as a town that produces cutting-edge music with no artistic boundaries.
		But at the same time, the Bill Ding stuff, those records came out better than I ever thought they could have, and I got kind of encouraged by that." For all intents and purposes, Hefty was born.
		Specifically, by releasing two old Phil Ranelin records, "Vibes From the Tribe" and "The Time is Now!" Ranelin is one of music history's forgotten footnotes, which is why Hughes was attracted to his records.

		References to such organizations that your ancestor might have belong to may be found in obituaries, funeral notices, and emblems on their tombstones.
		They are: California, which lost all of its records during the fire that occurred after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, and Arkansas, which lost all of its records in a fire in 1918.
		But, most family historians are delighted to discover any and all miniscule details about their ancestors, and these records may provide you with information that you were lacking.

		After playing in a few bands, he learned his second important lesson: you need to own your own label if you want complete artistic freedom.
		Since starting Hefty in the mid-‘90s, he’s reaped the benefits of unhindered vision.
		Acts like Scott Herren’s Savath & Savalas project and Telefon Tel Aviv, who just released their much-hyped second LP “Map of What is Effortless,” have established the label as a home for innovative electronica.

		Their first release with Hefty was Fahrenheit Fair Enough, an impressionist travelogue that combined techno's scientific melodicism with a mixture of jazz-head instrumentation and digital manipulations.

		In most ways John Hughes III is a typical independent-label owner--he started Hefty Records in 1995 to release music by his own band and before long, seduced by the notion of running his own business, began putting out records by other people too.
		By that point he'd already released the first Hefty records, a single and an album by Bill Ding, his avant-pop studio collaboration with guitarist Dan Snazelle.
		On deck are records by Chisel Drill Hammer, a Slint-like instrumental quartet from Iowa City; Ghosts & Vodka, a new band with former members of Fireside Bowl vets Tetsuo, Cap'n Jazz, and Joan of Arc; and Toe 2000, an ad hoc trio of drummer Dave Pavkovic, Tortoise bassist Doug McCombs, and AACM guitarist Jeff Parker.

	* Dusted Features [ Listed: Slicker + Ewan Pearson ] *
		Forever damned to be known as the son of filmmaker John Hughes (with no help from us in ending this damnation), Hefty records founder and Slicker's alter ego John Hughes III has made quite a name for himself purely on his own merit.
		While Hefty has release some of the more exciting electronic/etc. releases of the past few years (including the first records by Savath and Savalas, A Grape Dope, Telefon Tel Aviv), Hughes has also made a name for himself with his own bands.
		A futuristic and forward-thinking record that captured the traditional spirit from snippets of old music," and unlikely as it may see, it succeeds terrifically.

		In order for Bill Ding and Turtletoes to be heard he formed Hefty Records with some seed money and the project has evolved from there.
		The strong stable of artists producing innovative electronic based music for the label, however, have made Hefty a viable economic and artistic force to be reckoned with on the Chicago scene.
		Also, the re-release of jazz trombonist Phil Ranelin’s work points towards an exciting eye on the past for the label, which may result in future reissues from artists that deserve to be heard again (and for the first time for most fans).

		This debut was recorded in various bedrooms in both the Atlanta area and Brooklyn, NY -- but is a far cry from low fidelity.
		This recording itself is part of the revolution, and the whole purpose behind this self determination venture is survival; survival for the musician, his music, and thus survival for you, the listeners and demanders of the creative fl art form that has been labeled 'jazz.' Therefore efforts such as this are born of necessity.
		Besides finding a new and welcome home with Chicago's Hefty Records, Lindsay and Joe have transformed what was once a revolving-door collective into a 'duo and friends' by employing the production prowess of labelmate Joshua Eustis of Telefon Tel Aviv.

		A lot of people discovered this band when Marina Recordings released their compilation, ‘Introducing...’ in early 2000 to a horde of comparisons to the French duo Air and their ilk.
		This, their latest effort, was recorded and produced, during the latter part of last year, by John Herndon and John McEntire of Tortoise fame.
		A record of suprising substance and atmosphere then, the brothers acknowledgement of debt to the Bacharachs and the Carpenters of this world notwithstanding.

		We only released the newest record with Hefty (i considered "bring on happiness" as a full release - j).
		The previous records have the warm sound of tape, this record is more compressed and recorded digitally which gives it a tighter sound I think.

		This release from the so-called avant-electronic label Hefty Records in Chicago is the début of a singular artist, Scott Herren, who wrote, performed and produced this album with contributions from musicians in Brooklyn and Atlanta.
		Mostly recorded live, these tracks invoke a calm atmosphere with smooth organic baselines and some nice loungin’ organ vibes (without vocals).
		The production quality doesn’t betray the fact that this album was recorded in various people’s bedrooms and is worth a listen when you want to chill your boots.
