Independent record label from the UK that makes you stop, listen, and dance...



StopListenDance the record label was born on the eve of 2009 following the closure of BHive/CSide Records: prompting two of the label’s most promising and recently successful producers - Rico e Liso (Rich Mockett) and Flecker (Steve Fletcher) - to join forces and fund a break away label of their own. Bringing with them a successful release catalogue, future artist roster and their own independent experience (Steve having also headed up the mastering division at BHive and Rich having co-ordinated marketing and strategy at the same label as well as being involved in another promotional dance music brand), both of them saw the opportunity to branch out and create a new digital record company to their own tastes.

‘To have fun’ was the key notion behind SLD’s start up, and this is resembled in the label’s playful appearance and concepts. The focus is on putting out quality dance music without following trends or re-creating genres. ‘We know what we like and we like what makes us groove’ is the simple format for releases - be it funky, deep, electro or techno. In other words, if it will make you stop, listen and dance, it’s the kind of music you will find here....


Flecker began DJing at the height of the Trance scene of the late 90's, reinvented his style time again, incorporating different influences of house, electro, techno and breakbeat. After winning the Heat UK DJ competition he turned his attention to producing in 2004.
  
  Signed to the independent label BHive Records in 2006, Flecker's debut release of 'Attack 81' went on to score massively on the underground circuit. With 4 releases under his belt at BHive, Flecker also became a fundamental part of the team, heading up their Mastering division and assisting in the promotional side of their sister label CSide. In 2008 Flecker was asked to remix UNKLE's 'Restless' featuring Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age, released on James Lavelle Surrender All label.
  
  Flecker is now a co-owner of StopListenDance, and 2009 looks to be a big year for one of the label's most formidable artists.
