Favourite Labels

[andyman]

Had a quick search and couldn't find anything, so I thought I'd make a new thread.

Post your fav labels - who's on them, what kinda tunes, etc.

Future Classic (I'm obsessed atm)

http://www.futureclassic.com.au/

Couple of big names like Flume & Mitzi - but they've also bought out Todd Terje, Classixx & Tiger & Woods over the past 12 months.

Couple of freebies on their Soundcloud like this gem also:

Modular People

http://www.modularpeople.com/

Been following these guys for a few years now. Great Aussie label based in Sydney.

They take care of the likes of Bag Raiders, Cut Copy, Azari & III, etc.

Mainly indie/disco shit, but they have some stomping techno like this bad boy too:

Great thread!

Have always said the best way to find music of a particular sound is through labels

some of my favourites are:

ELECTRO

Club Cartel Records

http://www.beatport.com/label/club-cartel-records/21515

Local label full of sick electro and melbourne style stuff.

Lots of j-trick, jay fresh, tonic etc on here

Pop Rox Muzik

http://www.beatport.com/label/pop-rox-muzik/17774

A very similar style to Club Cartel, techno, electro and melb shiz, american based from memory.

House Of Fun

http://www.beatport.com/label/house-of-fun/22043

Sydney based label, run by Starfuckers, easily my favourite club night and djs in Syd!

Their label is fairly new but are pumping out some sick electro from all local guys.

Here is the reece lowe and joel fletcher remix of Starfucker's big single 'one night'

Vamp Music

http://www.beatport.com/label/vamp-music/17807

Lastly another local Sydney label, Vamp Music is run by the company i dj for and support local artists and djs through their releases, they also throw some of the sickest parties.

techno and real thrashy electro goodness

[GREMM1S]

TRANCE

Now for some of my trance faves.

Probably the biggest label out there, you can't go past;

Armada Music

http://www.beatport.com/label/armada-music/38

Obviously alot of cheese on Armada but still some great stuff, they also have alot of sub labels like Zouk which if full of sick progressive house, Armind which is more pure trance sounds and of course the ASOT sub label which features alot of the artists and tracks on the A State of Trance radio shows and events.

Armada's number one track of 2012!

Anjunabeats

http://www.beatport.com/label/anjunabeats/804

Above and Beyond's massive trance label, the more airy/commercial groove driven end of trance similar to Armada, but also has some great stuff, for more pure and uplifting trance check out Anjunadeep a sub label of Anjunabeats.

Iboga Records

http://www.beatport.com/label/iboga-records/919

Proably a bit much for some but home to the best of psy trance and goa going around these days.

the likes of Ace Ventura and Captain Hook etc on here!

Here's a video of psy in action, Liquid Ace dropping a ridiculous psy track.

pretty cheesey but very solid label

[Kodiak]

I take no notice of labels. I buy the tunes I like.

[Mitch]

I take no notice of labels. I buy the tunes I like.

So you don't look through a label's releases to find new artists / tunes?

I find it's a good way to find music you'll like - find an artist you like and hunt through the label, you tend to find other good stuff

EDIT: also in the cases that an artist/producer that you like runs a label, their taste of music tends to run through it so you can find gems they have chosen that way too

[OxyKon]

Ill find that once I like an artist, ill start going through the labels that he/they are signed to, start from the time the label started and work my way up to today, always thought that's the best way to go

[Mitch]

he/they

Don't females make music in your world?

[GREMM1S]

Labels is easily the best way to find similar music or music of a particular style, and women are in the I am a fagget making sandwhiches not music
