Label of the Month Mix: Dark Entries (Mix by Josh Cheon)

Carhartt WIP radio brings you the San Francisco label Dark Entries. The record company releases out of print underground electronic, new wave and post punk music from the late 1970s to the 1990s, as well as contemporary acts with a similar style. Founder Josh Cheon was collecting vinyl from the age of 14 and later worked for such NYC based labels as DFA, Matador and Beggars Group. In 2006 he relocated to San Francisco, where he joined the four piece DJ crew Honey Soundsystem, started his own radio show and organized local synth-wave-parties. In 2009, Dark Entries was launched, the name taken from the first 7inch single by the UK goth band Bauhaus. Among its many re-issues are albums of 1980s Greek electronic pop, rare synth-wave as well as the darker side of Italo Disco and early works of disco and Hi-NRG legend Patrick Cowley. Josh Cheon himself describes his mix for Carhartt WIP Radio as "an introduction to the sound of Dark Entries from release 1 to 141.“ Enjoy.

Carhartt WIP Radio October 2016: Josh Cheon - Dark Entries Radio Show

As the owner of Dark Entries, one of the most prolific reissue labels around, Josh Cheon has cemented himself as one of the world’s most knowledgeable experts of italo disco, industrial, post-punk and oddball early electronics. The San Francisco resident is also a key member of Honey Soundsystem, the label and party who celebrates the true roots of disco and house, without resorting to pastiche or imitation.
We spoke to Cheon about where his unconventional tastes emerged from, life in San Francisco and what we can look forward to from Dark Entries in 2017. He's also put together an 80 minute, vinyl-only mix of some wonderfully outlandish music.

From Dark Entries label boss Josh Cheon, the second in the series of Wire 400 mixes has a special 1982 theme to mark the year The Wire was founded. “In 1982 I was only a year old,” explains Cheon, talking about the mix. “But somehow I've managed to reissue (or about to reissue) 28 different artists who recorded and/or released songs in 1982. This mix was made using only records from the Dark Entries catalogue and features some exclusives and unreleased tracks. Covering countries from Iceland to Australia and back to Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Belgium, Finland, UK, and landing home in San Francisco, California.The songs crisscross and padlock not one uniform sound, but multiple visions and dreams.”

RA Label of the month

Dark Entries - RA Label of the month

DJ Mag's The Sound Of monthly mix series puts the focus on the labels we love; outlets that are championing new artists, dropping key releases and driving their respective scenes. This month, we catch up with Dark Entries founder Josh Cheon to discuss the ‘80s sounds surrounding the label, the challenges of working on reissue projects and Patrick Cowley.

Through its near 10-year history, Dark Entries has established itself as a buy-on-sight imprint for lovers of dark-edged, brooding or idiosyncratic sounds that were born during or take influence from the ‘80s. The imprint has developed a level of trust few labels manage to accomplish on such a wide scale in under a decade, without compromising on an ethos of delivering releases from influential artists that exist on the outskirts of electronic music.

Josh Cheon NTS Manchester  7th September 2019

Before his death in 1982, Patrick Cowley produced some of the American gay underground's most thrilling dance music, from chart-topping disco to radical club tracks. In recent years, San Francisco record label Dark Entries has devoted itself to released Cowley's lost art, from porn soundtracks to original albums and erotic journals. 

As the label celebrates what would have been his 69th birthday with a new compilation, DJ Mag discovers how Cowley is finally being recognised as an icon. Meanwhile, Dark Entries' Josh Cheon serves up a 69 minute mix of his biggest and boldest tracks

Arthur Russell Day Mix for NTS

I made this mix as a soundtrack for cruising around San Francisco delivering wine to saucy customers who tip well and love getting down to a groove. Themes involve 'pulling up to a bumper', 'crisis', 'medicine', 'heaviness', 'handouts', 'getting the money', and, 'oysters and champagne'... it felt good to dust off these records that regularly made appearances in my early DJ sets with Honey Soundsystem <3 - Josh Cheon @darkentriesrecords
