Hello everyone, So this will serve as the "official announcement" of Gridlock's closure.
First off, I want to thank everyone I've had the opportunity to meet and interact with as a result of Gridlock's music. Hopefully we will meet again and also stay in touch. And thank you to all those who have participated in this forum and expressed such kind words about Gridlock's music over the years. It was awesome to hear from people who connected with the music as much as I did.
At this point there is too much separation, and different projects going in different directions (music and otherwise), and while noone ever wants to say "never" right now I can't forsee a time when I will be working with Cadoo again, so it's time to call it a day.
With that, and for those interested, I've written a personal retrospective (http://www.5-25.com/gridlock/retro.html) looking-back over the releases and the years. I will add pictures as I can find them. There have always been many requests for what gear has been in my studio for the Gridlock releases, so I'll finally list the studio components / per release / as my studio grew, and reached its peak as "the Mothership" during "Formless".
This year marks the "official release" 10-year mark for Gridlock, starting from the 95 demo "Sickness". I've considered going through a box of DAT's and compiling a web-only release of un-released tracks, demo versions, and other nonesense. If anyone's interested, please let me know.

The "gridlock@creative.net" address will be shut down in the near future. Any questions regarding Gridlock (past or future) should be sent to "gridlock@5-25.com".
The Gridlock site has been moved to http://www.5-25.com/gridlock, and the forum can stay up as long as it's relevant.
Moving forward, I will continue the Gridlock ideology through 02, which is now at http://www.5-25.com/02. Current projects underway are remixes for Tekniq, Pneumatic Detach, Ginormous, and Riotfish, as well as a new 02 release later this year, label tbd.
Cadoo can be reached at http://www.n5md.com for information regarding Dryft or Bitcrush.
I wish the best for everyone, their projects, pursuits, and dreams.
Gridlock achieved many of mine.
All the best, Mike Wells

that's one big =(
Still, they will be making music. What I've heard of Dryft is quite good. Havn't heard Bitcrush or O2, though.

asjbfoo, so you are aware Mike Cadoo won't be working under the DRYFT moniker.. Future work will continue as BITCRUSH. Check bitcrush.net for more.
Erronous, you can find the BITCRUSH album (Enarc) at Component Records' website. Click here for a direct link..
It's said to hear about the demise of Gridlock, but no need to worry.. each of the Mike's has a lot going on with other projects..

I forgot to mention that BITCRUSH's follow-up album, 'Shimmer & Fade' can be found at enpeg.com for $2! (The last track on 'Enarc' called "Saturday's Ghost" closely represents the path Mike has taken with his enpeg release.)
Click here for a direct link..
