The Metalheadz back catalogue features almost every major figure in the history of drum and bass, and is one of the most innovative labels out there, consistently crossing boundaries with its releases since 1994. The labels output continues to showcase a maturing genre of music that displays influences from reggae, hip-hop, house and techno with highly-sophisticated and intricately-produced tracks, contrary to the image of the music that is typically presented by the mass media.

Releasing music from some of the biggest names out there whilst at the same time pushing and letting new talent break through are the reasons why Metalheadz continues to stay at the forefront of electronic music.

The Metalheadz label was also the driving force behind the seminal Sunday Session Club Nights, which achieved legendary status at London's Blue Note club. Today, Metalheadz club nights are often sell outs with the label also regularly hosting stages at some of the biggest festivals across the world.

DANIJEL KOSTIC is best known for his beautiful forward thinking productions. He likes to include cinematic like textures, organic beats with emotional chords, dreamy melodies and all wrapped in some punchy house music beats. Born in Stockholm, Sweden music were always an important part when growing up, the electronic music was a gateway to something new and unexplored. The first time he used an analog synth, a Mini Moog he got stuck. To create sound with analog synths and program beats was more natural than playing guitar for him. Danijel self taught himself to program, play and create sounds. 

The debut EP My Own Road released on Enormous Chills found its way into the playlists and sets of some of the biggest DJs. With over one million streams and counting on Spotify it was a phenomenal debut for the swedish newcomer. His next track Drifting was picked up by Ministry of Sound and got worldwide support. In 2018 he releases Vinternatt which got remixed by Enormous Tunes artists Nora En Pure and Sons of Maria. The stunning track became a monster hit that year. 

In 2019 he makes his debut on the acclaimed label Enormous Tunes, Endless EP, a stunning 4 track EP. Danijel worked out gorgeous atmosphere parts with emotional chord progressions and staccative analogue sounds. He used field records sounds and foleys on all 4 tracks. To release on Enormous Tunes was a long time goal, and a great step forward.
In 2019 he got a remix request, Nora En Pure picked 3 of her current favorite producers to try on a remix for her track Birthright. 

Support from Tiësto, Nora En Pure, EDX, Don Diablo, Sam Feldt, Hardwell, Lane 8 and many more.

Kronofonika started in 2010 as a project in which 253 and Kolthrast took turns in creating experimental music on a daily basis. It has now evolved to a cassette label delivering highly limited batches of questionable music dubbed and mastered by complete amateurs. Listen to that here or better yet, just buy it, ok? On our Soundcloud page you will also find demos, livesets and stuff that just doesn't quite fit in on any of our releases. Exclusive as puck! 

Throughout the years we have collaborated with artists like Magnitud, Oh, the ashes! and more recently we have come heavily involved in resurrecting the Finspång scene spearheaded by Florian Wulffpeckrl in the early 90s.

The Magnitud mission is to make deeper style of house with minimal, tech, progressive and balearic flavors, seasoned with funk, electronic pop and generously spiked with dub liqueur. Sometimes completely different stuff comes out. In a different life I was doing reggae dubs under the moniker King Magnitude. Some day I intend to continue that journey also.
