MUSIC FROM PLANET EARTH: PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE

Behold Finders Keepers, a British record label, 40 years in the making, introducing fans of psychedelic, jazz, folk, funk, avant-garde and whacked-out movie musak to a lost world of undiscovered vinyl artifacts from the annals of alternative pop history.

Catering to record collectors and DJ-producers alike with a huge emphasis on sample friendly soundscapes, rocksteady back-beats and primitive electronic experimentalism. Discerning purveyors of the bizarre and abnormal should expect the Japanese choreography records, space-age Turkish protest songs, Czechoslovakian vampire soundtracks, Welsh rare-beats, bubblegum folk, drugsploitation operatics, banned British crime thrillers and celebrity Gallic Martini adverts... presented on CD, 7" and traditional black plastic discs in authentic packaging.

Following in the very same footsteps as the mind boggling "Music To Watch	Girls Cry" and "Songs In The Key Of Death" mix CDs for Fat City Records and the original 5-star rated Finders Keepers compilation LP in 2001, Manc-based vinyl-vulture, recording artist and record producer Andy Votel enlists the skills of fellow B-Music DJ and Rare Disc Detective Doug Shipton to form a team of psychedelic librarians and cosmic-pop-quiz-elitists to run their new Twisted Nerve distant sister-label, leaving no progressive pebble unturned or record collection un-rifled.

Future compilations and re-issues will feature collaborative curators such as David Holmes, Cherrystones and Bob Stanley and further contributions from mystery A- / B+ pop-celebrity fanatics of outsider music and ultra-rare bakelite discs. Finders Keepers is an 'accidental world music label' with a punk aesthetic and DJ friendly ethos which allows the desperate listener to sit back while we deliver schizoid cultural channel-hopping compilations and rocking-horse-shit & hen's-teeth re-releases to the comfort of your psych-starved living room...

SHIHO the purplehaze

USA, London, Morocco, Brazil, and India. Multiple visits to unique countries had a significant impact on SHIHO. She has flowed through many stages in her life: record buyer, radio personality, music composer, model, and photographer. And now she has set herself on the path of music.
Following the “Freestyle of Underground Music” where there are no borders, her current music is deep and heavy, organic and spacious - Electronic infused with the essence of Punk and Black music, a style that fascinates listeners and artist from all genres.
The track “GRIND,” in collaboration with Rie Lambdool of CROSSBREAD, hit the top of the charts in Germany before its actual release. In 2008, the purplehaze was featured in the magazine “DJ 100 GIRLS” as one of the best female DJs worldwide. You can find Shiho’s keyboard,harmonium, and vocal work in the music of DJ 3000’s Mix CD, Juzu aka MOOCHY “MOVEMENTS feat. Shing02″, and many others.
In the years of 2010 and 2011, the wheels of her career started to spin faster. Kicking off with Dommune/Life Force/Amate laxi, and then continuing with Asylum in Hawaii and Mysore in India, she rocked parties as the very first female Japanese DJ.
She returned to Mysore in 2012, where a huge party with crowds of yogis, yoginis, and DJs from the world over was awaiting her. Hosted by the locals at Fluid Lounge, her performance received great praise from an audience including locals and the people from the newspaper Mysore Times. Since then, Shiho has been personally lecturing Indian DJs and amateurs to help further their education.
Yoga brings her to India every year; her creative lifestyle introduced her to the Macrobiotic Diet and to Rastafarian Philosophy, and these ideas eventually brought her feet onto the Yoga mat.
In 2012, Shiho was officially authorized as an Ashtanga Teacher by the Sri K Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Institute.
SHIHO the purplehaze is strong but flexible physically and mentally.
She teaches Yoga in combination with inspirations from a healthy way of living, and with a dedication to her true love of Music at her home base studio, yogalimt. This summer Shiho has just released the new track from Japanese underground Label name BLACK SMORKER RECORDS.
