Excellent news!

Anyone know if the move is for some sort of musical motivation (i.e. he plans to set up a label/shop in Japan or something like that)? Would be cool if he expanded the roots scene here...
I am just *speaking* to him now (he's currently in Tokyo). He says that although it is a big change personally it won't really affect the way the Pressure Sounds runs.

Agreed, Auralux are very difficult to track. They seem like a tiny operation with no time for self-promotion, which I suppose is both a good thing and a bad thing. But at least their standards of production are super-high.
Would love for Auralux (and Hot Pot) to have a website - both labels have released some stunning records, and as you say INFORMER, most people are in the dark with what they are releasing next.
Come to think of it, I haven't seen anything new from Hot Pot in a while. Are they still going? I hope so!
Auralux are loathe to give out information regarding future releases. A couple of times I have been told what's been coming out, but have then been told to keep *schtum* about it.
I get the feeling that everything is on a very tight budget and schedule and they cannot afford (moneywise or timewise) the risk of getting knocked off course, which could happen if it's *leaked* that something is coming out in a couple of months time.
