Ohhh! Another blog.

Isn't that... errr... exciting? The concept of blogging has been around for a while on the web, and we thought we'd give it a try as well. Anyway, since you're reading this you may be wondering about what Betu is?

The two people behind Betu is Martin and Joacim. Together they wanted to start a record company named Betu Records about five years ago. At the moment we are located in the same flat in Oslo/Norway, which is Joacim's hometown. Martin on the other hand is from Båtsfjord, a small fishing village in the north of Norway. He did however lived in Berlin for a while where he could get better use of his creativity in music. On Betu Records he has released two records and one on both Electrobot Records and Beautycase-Records. There hasn't been much activity with our record label lately but that may soon be changing in the near future! On this blog you will be able to read different news concerning the label, our artists, parties we arrange and such. You will also be able to download music! Isn't that great?

So to wrap up this first post I will include some info about the two releases on Betu Records. And for your listening pleasure I've included some previews of the tunes. Enjoy!
