This week we’re celebrating the 1st birthday of a great label – Expand Records – with a solid label showcase mix by none other than Quadrat Beat! I’ve been quite a fan of their releases since day one, not the most prolific, but preferring to focus on the quality – this label has gone from strength to strength with comparisons being drawn with iBreaks – no mean feat for a fresh label. This is so damn solid, make sure you tune in!
Expand Records
The first Latvian record label, that is focused on pushing out high quality Breaks and Tech-Funk music. 2012 surely becomes another page in the history of the development of electronic music in Latvia, and the reason for this will be served by the creation of the first Latvian Breaks label.
The emergence of this is down to one person by the name of Dmitry Kondrashov, better known as the leader of the electronic band Under This and the founder of the solo project Kondrashov. For several years, Dmitry issued successful releases in cooperation with the giant of Breaks scene – iBreaks Records, and also bore the idea about creation of his own label.
Mr.Djinn, DJ and promoter and one of the brightest representatives of the Breaks movement in Latvia, joined to help him with it. Such cooperation of two people of like minds started the ball rolling…
Expand Records will not be limited to any framework of musical style, but Breaks, undoubtedly, remains a key force. Latvian Breaks label will make the basic accent on quality, originality and freshness of it’s issued material.
But the main thing is, it can unite young and prospective artists with already known representatives in the world of broken rhythms, and as such will provide advancement of Latvia in the international musical market of electronic music.
