Champion Records are proud to present the very first release on its new-look label; in the shape of ‘No Compromise’, the 3 track debut from the phenomenal DrDr. 

Hailing from Brighton, DrDr are a talented trio comprising of 2 producers and 1 female vocalist, ready to take the music world by storm with their unique vocally driven future bass sound. Having remixed the likes of Major Lazer, The xx and Kissy Sell-Out, they have already established a cult online following, with their tracks featuring in the Hype Machine charts last year. Their followers and fans are growing by the day and include respected artists such as Kissy and Major Lazer themselves.

Lead single ‘Addicted’ is an anthem in the making, with vocalist Donna Curson’s catchy hooks and unique tone complementing the driving future garage beats. Brimming with cross-over potential, it’s a tale of modern-day love and the conflicts of addiction in the early stages of a relationship that everyone experiences. Tracks ‘Disguise’ and ‘Goodbye’ follow up to complete the EP and maps the journey from start to finish.

Whoa, Whoa, whoa
How many times did you say that spontaneous is romantic?
Hey, a burp is spontaneous
A burp is not romantic

In 1985 Champion hired its first employee, an 18 year old named Paul Oakenfold who had been working as messenger boy in New York. Champion Records aimed at releasing underground club tunes, Hip Hop, Rare Grooves, Jazz & Soul tracks as well as uplifting House tunes on 12” vinyl originally found and licensed from the USA. Tunes like Spank ‘Oh Baby’, Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince ‘Girls Ain’t Nothin’ But Trouble’, Salt ‘N Pepa ‘Push it’ & Rene & Angela ‘Secret Rendezvous’.

As musical taste evolved Champion aligned itself with the early house and garage movement. It produced iconic tracks including Raze’s ‘Break 4 Love’, Robin S ‘Show Me Love’, Sandy B ‘Make The World Go Round’, Kristine W ‘Feel What You Want’ & Sybil ‘Don’t Make me Over’. These then turned into some of the most famous & credible artists in the world along with DJ’s like Todd Terry, Kerri Chandler, Junior Vasquez and Stonebridge.

"If, for argument's sake, you were to write a story with me in the lead role it would certainly be a tragedy."
