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.

blog, podcast, party, editorial & radio show.  
Founder & Resident Mohson Stars.

Second generation house head, started collecting records in the mid 90's influenced by Chicago style house Dj's and later American West Coast deep house. lost my way in my 20's when I was getting paid gigs, needed extra cash and the music getting watered down with the digital releases. Finally came back full circle to my original passion for classic sounding deep house through to techno. 

Born in Valencia, Spain, Ruben Boluda has been active in the underground techno scene for more than two decades, since the end of the 90s.

He started his career as a trash-metal guitarist in the early 90s, and was seduced by the underground electronic music in 1998, when he became Dj Boluda. 
He continued his musical project by creating his own collectives (Educative Sounds and Pi) organizing quality underground events, parties and raves all over the Region of Valencia. Meanwhile, he also alternated his work as a Dj and an event producer, with his job at vinyl record stores like 3mv-disc unit or Subway. 

Dj Boluda quickly turned into a key figure in the Valencian scene, performing regularly at different parties and becoming a dj resident in some famous clubs in Valencia city. He has been fortunate to share the decks with many talented and internationally recognised DJs and producers like Paco Osuna, Nacho Marco, Circulation, Paul Ingall, Pascal Kleiman, Ángel Molina, Estrato Aurora or Fran Campos among others.

Drinking from the fountain of funk and soul, and having absorbed the teachings from the classics, Chicago House and Detroit Techno, he has cultivated his own personal and unique electronic dance music style. His music invites you to travel through a combination of deep house, minimal and tech-house, the styles that he liked the most. 

Nowadays, after a 5-year break, his time has come. He is back with renewed energy, and ready to explore new paths in the deepest and most mental underground electronic music. 

Music goes on!

In the late 1990s several of the core elements, notably the prominent beat drop changed my life and this while retaining a foothold on underground scenes across the globe.
