top 10 labels of 2008

leave a comment

Here’s the list of our favourite labels of 2008:

  • Subject Detroit
    No hype / trends – 100% independent label. I’m really into what they are doing.
  • Infiné
    The freshest label I’ve heard in a couple of years.
  • Planet E / Community Projects
    I’m a big fan of everything Carl Craig’s done. Great to see the Tribe collective as well.
  • Ican Productions
    I really like guys like S2 and Esteban Adame, both of who are good at keeping a techno sensibility but also have some influences / chords in there too.
  • Fine Art
    A label to watch this year.
  • Delsin / Ann Aimee
  • Rush Hour
  • Innervisions
  • 20:20 Vision
  • Melodika
