Craigie Knowes: Mixes by Us

Tête-à-Tête 05.11.2021

Craigie Knowes | Recorded LIVE from Subculture @ Sub Club | 20 Nov 2021

@craigie-knowes is more than just a record label; it’s a living, breathing organism.

From tales of shunning “serious” protocol by inviting local Scottish heroes to MC at landmark shows to the endless challenges of hunting down old gems to repress, we sat down with Max and Mitch to find out more. Speaking on how they find the humour in their mistakes, their advice for labels facing vinyl pressing delays and expanding upon the significance behind their exclusive accompanying mix, they provided a techno-based offering that examines the genre's development from the 80s all the way into the current day.

Craigie Knowes

The duo Max & Mitch have been playing records together for over 10 years now despite still being in their 20s. This coupled with running one of the most well-respected underground labels to come out of the UK in recent years, has led the pairing to have a varied & extensive record collection with knowledge & understanding of the craft well beyond their years. 


This translates into energized dancefloors across Europe, a monthly Rinse FM show, and a residency at infamous Aberdeen nightspot The Tunnels as well Glasgow’s Sub Club & La Cheetah,  the latter from which they still run their label parties. The trailblazing duo knows how to keep the dance floor pumping, transcending genres, and playing tracks with the club in mind alongside rare hidden gems only the most ardent digger can find. They play with fluidity & energy that can only be achieved by having spent thousands of hours DJing alongside each other and having a deep understanding of what makes dancefloors tick.

Craigie Knowes @ Operator, Rotterdam [01-2018]

Roll up, roll up, roll up! Strap yourself in as Glasgow via Perth is about to get down... 

Craigie Knowes is a record label which has amassed a reputation for furious club cuts purpose built for the dancefloor, all with a smile and the shake of a hand. Since 2015 the label has released a prolific array of music from the likes of Dj Overdose, Deep Space Orchestra, Natureboy Gold, Textasy and more. Beyond this they have also released two stellar compilations in support of the charity War Child of which the likes of Legowelt, Shanti Celeste, Move D and Yoshinori Hayashi all supported and featured. 

This is an imprint with a distinct sense of self and a humility which can sometimes be hard to find within dance music and the associated culture. We here at Ransom Note are firm supporters. The pair have stepped up to deliver a heavy hitting mix designed to make you move.

The rising Glasgow based duo behind the Craigie Knowes label and party series deliver an unflinching assault of acid, electro and broken atmospheric moments with full effect.

Interview with @craigie-knowes: 

melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/craigie-knowes

Max:

I played a lot of upcoming stuff from some of my favorite new labels for the first 35 mins or so. It’s just stuff I thought went well together. Electro from Australia, garagey stuff, some breaky stuff. Played a few from Credit 00s recent EP on his Rat Life label, a definite favorite from me.

Mitch:

I went with a fairly wide blend of old and new stuff. A classic Bam Bam acid track, some stuff on Brokntoys which has been one of my favourite labels over the past few years, a Storage Media track on Ebeamz which went under the radar last year. Then a couple of brand new records I got through my door that day including the new Redlight record from UTTU. We basically just put a mix together we felt we would play in the club.

Kollektion 16 /// CRAIGIE KNOWES

Craigie. Knowes. No, not a fella named Craig who knows a thing or two, but a place. A place; come label, come DJ duo, who are well revered for pushing/playing attitude ridden dance music into your record bags, on to your computer, on your nearest dance-floor and luckily for you, an hours worth into your ears right now.

We were fortunate enough to catch up with the two chaps behind the familiar snail to talk all things Buckfast, fishy speakers, V-cuts and of course music.

Quality cuts and massive vibes courtesy of the chiefs in charge of the acclaimed Scottish label soundcloud.com/craigie-knowes. Max and Mitch have rolled out a slew of belters since founding their label in 2015, and run a self-titled party series at La Cheetah Club in Glasgow. As a DJ duo the pair is known for ripping up dance floors with hard hitting selections. In this mix they start out showing a subtler side with a delectable assortment of atmospheric house before shifting gears into deeper and harder territory by way of electro, acid, and techno.

To celebrate the release of our exclusive @craigie-knowes T-shirt for Bleep Advent, they have provided us with a guest mix. Check out their advent day here: bleep.com/advent-2019-day-5

“We recorded this mix at 6am before heading down for a gig in Bristol. Similar to our DJ sets in a club, it's not really one genre it's just a collection of stuff we enjoy dancing & listening to. Records we've been listening to that week and older ones that pop into our heads at intervals during the week leading up to recording the mix. We start off with some house records focussing on the percussive side of things then moving into some spacey electro & slightly harder stuff. This was a lot of fun to record and felt really smooth in terms of the progression of tempo and energy. We hope people enjoy it wherever or however they listen to it.”
