OKeh short history: 

OKeh was founded by Otto K. E. Heinemann when he set up his own recording studio and gramophone record pressing plant in New York City in September 1918. Heinemann formed the name of the record label "OKeh", from his initials.  OKeh began by issuing popular songs, dance numbers, and vaudeville skits similar to the fare of other labels, but Heineman also wished to experiment with music for audiences neglected by the larger record companies. OKeh produced lines of recordings in German, Czech, Polish, Swedish, and Yiddish for the USA's immigrant communities. In 1920, Ralph Peer's recordings by African-American blues singer Mamie Smith were a surprise smash hit for Okeh. The company perceived the significant, little-tapped market for blues and jazz by African American artists. Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Bix Beiderbecke are only a few names of jazz greats that have recorded for the label. By 1926 Columbia Records bought the label and kept it running into the 60's with jazz and R&B recordings. 

In 1994, Sony Music reactivated the OKeh label as a new-age Blues label. Okeh's first new signings included Keb' Mo, Popa Chubby, and Little Axe. By 2000, the Okeh label was again retired, but in 2013 it will see its re-launch as a jazz label once again.

The PRESS PLAY idea is simple:

Have Fun Throwing Parties, Making & Sharing Beats, Building Community around the SouthCoast, and Bring some Shine to Dope Tunes and Producers.

PRESS PLAY Parties get Producers & Record Labels (Known and Unknown) to submit via email and soundcloud NEW Unreleased tracks for our Resident and Guest Dj’s to test out on an amazing FUNKTION ONE Sound System to a dance savvy crowd.

After the party, people leave feedback and comments of tracks played on the night via SOUNDCLOUD/MIXCLOUD/FACEBOOK/TWITTER-this builds a nice community feedback loop for the producers.

Tracks played on the night get archived on our blog and SOUNDCLOUD.

Labels check in and if they like what they hear- they release the tracks.

If you produce and want to hear your tracks played out on a dope Funktion One System, send stuff to our dropbox at:

or email them to pressplayclub@gmail.com

Although we love all types of music, PRESS PLAY PARTIES vibe mostly with House (all types)/Electro/Bass/UK Funky/with a dash of Dubstep.

BUT send us your stuff, you never know∆

Everyone should get to PRESS PLAY!
