About this project

About BONUS GOAL

I'm COMPLETELY happy with being able to make the 12", THANK YOU!
But with so much time left, why not aim to press more songs on vinyl? Maybe songs you REALLY WANT to see on a 7"? Since we are so close to the $1600, if we raise $2500 total, I'll be able to include a bonus 7" with every package $25 and higher! [Backers help pick the songs! see Update #3 for details]

WHAT TO DO
Step 1: Choose the reward you want and pledge the corresponding amount.
Step 2: Share this page with friends. I need your help!
Step 3: Check back often for project updates and exclusive content.
Step 4: Once we hit our goal, get ready for your exciting mail to arrive!

*YES, all songs heard in the video will be on the 12", so... get one!

Here are a few that will be included.






and more... (click song titles in tracklisting at top of page to hear more)

HOW DID I PICK THESE SONGS?
Crowd Sourcing with my friends! I asked my pals on email, facebook, & twitter to submit ideas. Then I reviewed the suggested songs along with a few new ones I had in mind and made a decision. It was tough but I feel really good about these choices. They represent a cross section of the music that was requested, from beats to vocals to new and old songs. These are the ones whose time has come! If this goes well, I hope to create more vinyl of my previous recordings in the future. Fear not, your additional selections have not been forgotten! 

HOW CAN I HELP? 
Simply choose one option to the right...
If i reach my goal of $1600, Then it will happen and you will receive your chosen item. BUT I'll need your help to get there. It's all or nothing.

Connected as Miles Bonikowski (2503 friends)

I have extensive experience in creating and sharing quality music. I have worked with many record labels and am familiar with vinyl culture. Completing this project and maintaining it for years to come is my goal and should not be difficult should I receive support to begin with this 2011 12" that I hope you will support!

As I begin this Kickstarter project, I hope to connect with existing music friends as well as people who are new to my music.

Once you have signed up for one offer, please share this effort with friends. It is a great way for them to get to know my music and I need your help in this effort. Thank you

Sincerely,
Miles
