What happened to Earth Mantra (netlabel)?

Well, as the topic already implies, does anyone know what happened to the Earth Mantra netlabel?

Since August 2012 there haven't been any new releases. Which is a pity as I always like the music they put out.

Well, just visited their homepage, and while their latest release indeed seems to be the excellent Har/Altus cooperation "Shadow District", at least the little copyright thingy down in the left corner says "2007-2013", so it seems someone has updated the page this year already...

I see also a contact button there, so You could send them a message and ask what's up.

Darrell is fine. It's just life getting in the way, which is a real shame. He's stepped back over the past few years, starting with closing down Blue Water Records, and then passing the torch at StillStream. He also created and sold convolution reverb impulses. The name escapes me at the moment. I'm not sure if he dropped that as well, but I would assume so.

In regards to Earth Mantra, my understanding is that he doesn't plan on closing it down completely. However for the time being, it will be in silent limbo. I really hope he manages to find the time to operate it again.
