Matt Edwards’ label has had somewhat of a very productive 2020 with over two dozen releases, most of which coming out in physical format. We think 2021 will be more of the same from this fine electronic music hub. ![]() The back end of 2020 treated us to blinding releases by Haider and Damiano Erckert, both of which traversed the House, Techno and Electro landscapes superbly. Founded by the dual talents of Fin Greenall (of Fink fame) and Will Saul they release a diverse range of genres from Techno to Electro with a good addition of Dub. One of the things we have been impressed by with the label in recent years has been the various EPs such as the recent Metro Jaxx Volume Three which is a high quality six track release which they sell at a very reasonable price via their Bandcamp page.Īnother label that put out some exemplary music across all formats in the last year and no doubt will continue to do more of the same in the next 12 months. When a label can boast the pedigree of Luke Vibert, DMX Krew and label boss Posthuman, you know the output is going to be strong. The London based label celebrated a decade of making the finest Acid and Techno known to man, woman and beast in 2020 and managed to deliver a half dozen select cuts in the last year. With stalwart artists like Daniel Avery, Alkon and Cowboy Rhythmbox alongside newer producers such as Joshua James, we can expect some very exquisite electronics in the coming months. In fact, Alkan posted on his Facebook page just before Xmas how excited he was to have signed up a roster of new tracks and artists for the coming year. Phantasy SoundĮrol Alkan’s Phantasy Sound imprint has been consistently impressive for the past decade or so and if the last 12 months are anything to go by, then we can expect more of the same. A great way to navigate that glut of tunes and find the wheat from the chaff is to install Trackhunter and discover the very best music for your DJ sets with minimal effort. ![]() 2021 could prove to be a vintage year in terms of output, so as always we’ve picked a few of the labels we think you should be looking out for in the coming year.įinally, a note of caution, it also could be a year where we are overwhelmed by mountains of mediocre tracks made by producers stuck in their bedrooms over lockdown. No doubt many countless future classics have been saved for the coming year or so in the hope that some semblance of normality will return to clubs and festivals. Whilst musically it may have appeared a watershed year, there was no shortage of great music being released despite the negative impact of Covid19 on record pressing plants and shops. There were beacons of light as DJs and artists increasingly capitalised on digital tools to broadcast, collaborate and connect with their communities. Trackhunter picks out some of the labels that have excelled in 2020 and offer great things going forward in the new year for fans of Techno, Electro, House, Disco, Acid and RaveĢ020 was without doubt a terribly miserable year for everyone involved in dance music, especially those who make a living from the industry.
