Infuse :: Spring Fever

Meat Katie and the 7 Year Itch Release:

In 2004 Lot49 burst onto the music scene and brought with it a sound that incorporates Techno & Electro into Breakbeat & House. Although the label had been championing this sound for some time, it now had solid roots that it could call home. The sound was coined Tech-Funk and although it started off life as a hybrid it soon grabbed the attention of the bigger players within Dance music. Before long scene supremos such as Carl Cox, Laurent Garnier, Armin Van Burren, James Zabiela and many other eclectic Dj's became key supporters of the label and it's newly crafted sound.

The 7 year Itch album is a dirty ride through the underground that epitomises this sound with an array of international talent from all 4 corners of the world. 16 brand new exclusive tracks from label artists Dylan Rhymes, Meat Katie, Lee Coombs, Dopamine and Odissi and up and comers Hedflux, Atomic Drop, Chevy One, Maelstrom & more. Showcasing new talent is a huge part of the label ethos so it is not unusual that new and exciting talent such as Disco Bum from Canada and Lightknife from America have been included. All this wrapped up into an exceptional mix of quality you would expect by label boss Meat Katie.

2011 will see Lot 49 continue on its path of breaking new ground and continual bar raising in bringing new and upfront music!

He's toured every continent bar Antarctica but if there was a club down there he'd be partying with the penguins!

FIGURE

aka Josh Gard has solitarily established a name for the Midwest in the world of bass music with his innovations of the baseline. He has quickly solidified himself as a leading authority on Drumstep although genre holds no meaning for this young producer. With top 10 charting releases in Dubstep , Dnb , and Electro House , there is no way to ignore the movement he has created. His music is regularly featured on the likes of BBC radio and supported by some of the world leaders in electronic music such as Skrillex and Busy P. With a number of well-received releases on respected labels and remixes enlisted for legends Bart B More, Diplo, Don Diablo, Will Bailey, Hirshee, Kissy Sell Out and Urban Assault the future can only affirm the claim that FIGURE just may be the most prolific Bassline artist in North America.
