 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.)
