RECORD LABEL / 001

BOE RECORDINGS

LONDON, UK



Record Label will be the next slow burn feature we will nurture on the site looking at record labels situated and placed in various international locations, affected by different social, economic and community based factors. We will open dialogue with these labels and try to delve deeper into the inception, ideas and decision to create, invest and persue this vision. We will get down to the detail on the core label and guest artists, releases and strategy moving forward, take into account all factors that have affected the commercial impact on vinyl and MP3 sales and also the labels greatest successes, surprises and challenges.


Boe Recordings based out of London pushing a modern underground and groovy take inspired and referencing Chicago and Detroit house music that we all are familiar with. The label is headed up by Ben Parkinson and begun life back in 2007 with its first release by Burnski – Monkey Hanging and more recently Just Like That by one of Boe’s discoveries Ladzinski underlining the signature House sound and narrative from previous releases.  Label name inspiration came from Ben recordings resident cat Barry and over time the label has organically grown & risen over the past few years with great character, intrinsic identity coupled with acclaimed deep House releases relinquishing praise from sites including influential online editorial RA, Electronic Beats, and K / D.


A key factor to Boe Recordings involve an solid base to ensure 12inch releases can be purchased in key record stores and also online, coupled with direct promotions available straight from the label offering vinyl and cd packages with purchases has been a definite win win for the label which is an idea a lot more labels need to model and replicate in there own back yards to cut out the middle man and ensure retail prices can be obtained straight by the label in these more modest times.


The next few releases will carry the labels strong heritage situated in Deep House with Kris Wadsworth flying the flag and also more label hook ups concerning gigs around the capital and the ever increasing Boe podcast will ensure the label sound can interest and engage with current and potential new Boe Recordings customers.


K / D and Ben exchanged dialogue over several weeks to attempt to paint the picture of Boe Recordings whilst dipping our toes in to various arenas all affecting the label and the wider electronic community keeping our eye on the future and what it holds, showcasing the labels art work and also a guest mix which you might have guest is not from founding feline Barry the cat but Ben Parkinson himself providing an cascading deep, melodic, consistent and concise deep House journey.

TRACKLIST & MIX DETAILS:

Recorded at home in the Boe mansions studio on my 15 year old unbreakable 1210s and an Allen & Heath Xone 62 mixer. Completely vinyl only with authentic dust and crackle, the mix reflects the sound of records I like to play at home after a night out or at after parties. Low slung, deep and rolling house music, it's definitely not an up front club set, it's one for the headphones or late night listening so kick back and play it loud, I hope you enjoy it.
