808 State

808 State are an English electronic music outfit formed in 1988 in Manchester, taking their name from the Roland TR-808 drum machine. Widely regarded as one of the pioneers of acid house, they were formed by Graham Massey (from ex-factory records band Biting Tongues), Martin Price and Gerald Simpson (later to record as A Guy Called Gerald) and released their debut Newbuild in 1988. Autechre and Aphex Twin have often cited Newbuild as being enormously influential, and the group achieved some degree of chart success in the UK in the early 1990s with releases Pacific State, Cubik and In Yer Face.

Hardwell

Let us introduce to you – Hardwell! At just 21 it’s fair to say he’s ‘been around’ if you take into consideration his achievements over the past 18 months. His passion for music, in particular his love of all things house, has helped this multi-talented producer climb his way to the top. Hardwell’s overall talent is recognised by the dance music industry as a new, exciting and refreshing take on a scene that continues to evolve and with an apparent everlasting shelf life!

Paul Cooper

Co-runs Project Squared. Co-runs Project Mooncircle. Has made and released music as Mr Cooper (instrumental hip hop, production for rappers). I started this label as my music taste is branching out from hip hop and electronic “listening” music and is becoming more focused on music to dance to, primarily dubstep and techno and the places inbetween these two genres. I found two artists who deserved to be released on vinyl and decided to make a label for them and hopefully others to follow… Maybe even for my own productions in the realm of techno and dubstep eventually...

Him_Self_Her

House music with Feeling….
Few electronic artists have experienced such a meteoric rise into the spotlight, as male/female production duo Leon Baggotts & Claire Spooner, AKA Him_Self_Her.
The pair had clocked up almost ten years of hard graft as solo artists; DJing in sweaty back rooms, plastering Leicester city centre with posters and struggling against a tired Midlands club scene, before they made the life changing decision to work together.
