High energy, unhinged, and musically extravagant, taking traditional acoustic idioms and delivering with punk abandonment and virtuosic flare. A dynamic three piece offering a unique sound emerging from Celtic, Gypsy Swing, Roma and Flamenco and tuned in savvy.

Wrapping pan european traditional acoustic music with infectious grooves, epic, pounding, sing along, punch the air anthems to intricately arranged instrumentals. 

Challenging the limitations of what people might expect acoustic instruments to sound like, the use of bowed harmonics between fiddle and bass can be as menacing and eerie as it can be psychedelic and mesmerising. 

Percussion provided by the front man Langan, whilst singing and driving the rythm guitar, he somehow co-ordinates the operating of a cajon and a tambourine with his feet bringing the driving, swinging groove of the rhythm guitar together with his foot percussion resulting in an impressively tight band sound with a tempo that is free to go anywhere. 

Add scorching hot fiddle lines and a guy thumping the groove out a double bass. 

If you're not dancing like a professional ostrich you get a refund.

Making music for fun again x)

Melodic Bass Enthusiast

We are an independent record label and artist collective based in Deal, Kent [UK].

MANIFESTO:-

Smugglers Records was founded in the midst of the UK’s worst recession since the second world war. As the fat cats scattered and buckled under the weight of their own greed, and the music industry seemed to die a quick and solitary death. At the back of a small pub by the sea, as the rolling winds argued ferociously outside and someone fumbled around on a violin, Smugglers was borne to the clink of ale glasses and the promise of a new way of doing things.

Smugglers Records is not a business, nor does it want to get rich. We are free from the trappings of profit margins and this gives us the power to take risks with the music we release. Sustainability for smugglers records is about ecology, not economics.

We have no executives, or managers. We have no self congratulating Audits or reviews. We do not release music in an attempt to accumulate profits. We attempt to release music that is honest and powerful, that attempts even for a moment, to make us all feel a little less alone on this planet. We release music for the same reason that we have sung, banged on drums and tuned tortoise guts since first people climbed down from the trees.

We run various nights and parties across the UK. We release music and distribute it digitally and physically across the country. We work together, as a collective, to get things done and to keep the ball rolling and we are always looking for people to join us on our journey. Capitalism is dying, you can read it in the free newspapers while you make your way to work. You can watch it on the televisions and you can see it for yourself in the borded up shop fronts on the highstreet. If we are going to survive, we must devise new ways of moving forward. The music industry is in it’s final hours, but music itself will never die, in fact it’s only just getting started.
