Basic Beat recordcompany since 1993

Upcoming stuff in 2009 :)

We are still busy running numerous labels here at Basic Beat. Let's try to give you an overview on what's up and coming on our labels..

303F Records
It has been quiet around the 303F guys for some time, but we've got some great news for their fans; 303F005 is finished and will be released in March! Be sure to keep an eye out for this one, as it's a real burner!

Adult Records
We are very proud that Adult Records is one of the last surviving true hardgroove techno labels out there. Expect new releases by artists such as Elton D & Snoo, Veztax, Miche, Pratap, Raul Mezcolanza and many more t.b.a. in the next months!

Basic Beat
As the original Basic Beat label has not been in use for quite some time now, we've decided to use it to do digital releases on it from our big backcatalogue. The Basic Beat recordcompany has had numerous sublabels in the past, some of them only had a few releases, others had dozens of releases. As most of this material wasn't available digitally untill now, we will make compilations and release them on the Basic Beat label at all the better digital download shops.

Lo-FiSoul
Robbie Pardoel's label is a bit quiet at the moment. To be honest we don't have a clue what will be next, but we have enough trust in Robbie that we are positive some great releases will follow this year. Y'all just need a little more patience ;)

Manual Music
Our biggest selling label is still going strong, eventhough we've decided to focus on the digital market for the upcoming period. The truth is that even for a label of the Manual Music statue, vinyl sales were not up to the mark anymore whilst on the other side the digital sales were still groing rapidly. Expect tracks/remixes from artists such as Fairmont, Qbical, Nicolas Masseyeff, Nuno Dos Santos, Paul Hazendonk (new mix compilation: Sound Shifting 2.0!) Giorgos Gatzigristos, Thomas Lauren, Juan Sanchez, Terry Toner, Sascha Barth, Robbie Pardoel, Dual Shaman, Applescal, Budai & Vic, Eelke Kleijn, Russian Linesman, Arjuna Schiks and many many more!

Relatives
As always the Relatives label is operating a little bit in the shade of it's big sisterlabel Adult Records. Nevertheless sales are still amazingly good and we've just scheduled a new Relatives release (008) which features tracks by Fer BR & Peppelino, Reaky, Wyrus and Darkrow vs Costi. Be sure to check this one out, we're sure it won't dissapoint you!

Savoir Records
Tundra and Thomas Lauren have recently started this label together and Beatport almost immediatly jumped onto it like vultures ;) Starting 2nd quarter of this year Savoir Records will get a Beatport exclusive deal which will boost exposure and sales for sure. If you are into the sound of Tundra and/or Thomas Lauren, be sure to keep this label in mind. Quality stuff!

Stolen Moments
After a hesitating start, the Stolen Moments label is now picking up the phase. We decided to focus fully on the minimalistic techno genre to make a clear difference between it's sisterlabel Manual Music and Stolen Moments. Expect new tracks/remixes to be released from artists such as Wehbba, Mihalis Safras, Tom Hades, Paul Hazendonk, Andrew Technique, Robert G Roy, Tomy DeClerque & F.Sonik and many more!

Work Hard Play Hard
Work Hard Play Hard is still going strong digitally, having done over 20 digital releases untill now. Expect the brand new Work Hard Play Hard release soon; a wicked track by K.E.N.Y.U. including remixes by Ian Void and C-Systems. More cool stuff to come in 2009, but we have no idea yet what that cool stuff will be :)

All the best,

Basic Beat crew
