Fave ALL TIME label?

[eyeswithoutaface]

probably been done before but just been thinking about labels past and present today when sorting through a load of my old records.

Most consistant? most likely to deliver a massive bomb? Most original? They dont have to be techno labels too, well not all of them

i really loved Planet Rhythm for a while and Compound, certainly when i was heavily into the harder stuff, but some of mine would have to include Underground Resistance, Subject Detroit, Fcomm. I also used to LOVE Global Underground for their mix series and compilations.

On the non-techno side of things, Domino (purely for Lou Barlow, Sebadoh, Elliot Smith, Pavement etc) and Rough Trade would have to be my top picks

anyone else?

[theledge]

Well it would take some thinking about but Planet Rhythm is the one that first sprang to mind when I saw the thread

[eyeswithoutaface]

also i have to add Mosiac and R+S, past aside, that was one deadly label, and i thank god they are repressing everything

[eyeswithoutaface]

that was a quick reply too mate!

[Frank Dogshit]

drumcode really turned me onto techno so i guess it would be that.

easy choice but hell....club techno at its most genius.

planet rhytham also...i picked up an old Alex k katz tune at lunch on PR. Hard techno done properly,no bullshit.

[theledge]

right place right time :)

[rhythmtech]

fave all time label is prolly prolekult - for the memories

non-techno would be trojan records.

[eyeswithoutaface]

I am rather fond of most of the Hazchem releases too

[eyeswithoutaface]

a 5 page thread

and no arguments

excellent :)

[fac]

a 5 page thread

and mostly the same uk boom boom labels

excellent :)

[Dirtyacid]

Mbelektronics for me (Marco is my favorite producer) or rhythm convert

[eyeswithoutaface]

a 5 page thread

and mostly the same uk boom boom labels

excellent :)

so? if people like uk boom boom, so be it

plenty of labels from all corners of the globe mentioned here, no problem with it really

[fac]

so? if people like uk boom boom, so be it ive said nothin against it. ppl should hear what they like. uk wasnt referred to the country where the labels are located. it was referred to that typical pounding grooves, dave the drummer (nothing wrong with them tho) etc. sound.

i find it a bit boring when 8 out of 10 guys name labels with almost the same sound. and ONLY these labels. electronic music is such a wide field.

eh? whats uk boom boom techno then? i live in the uk and i dont know what you mean. very confusing

it's a fave label thread, there are no pre-requsite's as to what a person can and cant post. If i wanted to know what people's top dark labels were, i'd of said "what are your fave dark labels", same if i wanted to know what peoples fave electronica label was and so on and so forth. It's just a simple fave label's thread, chill out

[eyeswithoutaface]

the pounding grooves/drummer sound is london acid techno, pretty short sighted to dismiss the whole country as uk boom boom just like that. There's alot more goes on over here than that, quite judgemental to lump everyone in the same bracket

[massplanck]

electronic music is such a wide field.

yes but boa is a boom boom fourm.

[massplanck]

sorry my bad. fourm = forearm

[eyeswithoutaface]

electronic music is such a wide field.

yes but boa is a boom boom fourm.

hmmm i dont agree. Blackout the label maybe a boom boom label i guess in some people's opinion, but as a whole the forums have a much wider spectrum, or at least that's the aim surely? Hence all the sub-forums

[Stella Boy]

uk wasnt referred to the country where the labels are located. it was referred to that typical pounding grooves, dave the drummer (nothing wrong with them tho) etc. sound.

Not all the UK is boom boom...... there's also minimal and the classic electro-house.

[massplanck]

hmmm i dont agree. Blackout the label maybe a boom boom label i guess in some people's opinion, but as a whole the forums have a much wider spectrum, or at least that's the aim surely? Hence all the sub-forums

you really believe that? ;)

Boa is a hard techno website/forum. Yeah sure a few listen to other stuff the odd time by mistake in record shops but..c'mon.
If it was an electronic music forum then we wouldnt need sub forums.

I'm not gettin stroppy. I just thought fac was being silly acting all surprised when a whole load of people listed hard techno labels as their favourites. I wasnt exactly expecting any miraculous revelations.

[Stella Boy]

a 5 page thread and no arguments

excellent :)

doh !

[fac]

eh? whats uk boom boom techno then? i live in the uk and i dont know what you mean. very confusingman... as i wrote: i'm talkin about the typical sound. uk boom boom is just a synonym (maybe not a good one but only a synonym). i could also have used german boom boom (clr etc.).


it's a fave label thread, there are no pre-requsite's as to what a person can and cant post.never wrote that


If i wanted to know what people's top dark labels were, i'd of said "what are your fave dark labels", same if i wanted to know what peoples fave electronica label was and so on and so forthyes, one thread for every subgenre


It's just a simple fave label's thread, chill outi'm cool, i'm talking nothing serious here ;)



the pounding grooves/drummer sound is london acid techno, pretty short sighted to dismiss the whole country as uk boom boom just like thati never said that. see above (uk boom boom = synonym)


There's alot more goes on over here than thati know that. some of my favourite labels are located there. and they are no "uk boom boom"


quite judgemental to lump everyone in the same bracketi dont do that


Not all the UK is boom boom...... there's also minimal and the classic electro-house.yes, and idm, grime, dubstep, breakcore, jungle, dnb etc. look above ;)


I'm not gettin stroppy. I just thought fac was being silly acting all surprised when a whole load of people listed hard techno labels as their favourites. I wasnt exactly expecting any miraculous revelations.as u can see i'm pretty new to this forum. and in the first months i was only at the dark forum. i know that most of the guys here are into "uk boom boom" and i wasnt all surprised, i only replied to eyes' post.

[fac]

mhhh, tasty quoting shit...

[massplanck]

boom boom boom i want you in my room.

[fac]

oh yeah, what labels were the venga"boys" on? defo one of my favs

[massplanck]

:lol:

[eyeswithoutaface]

yeah 7 page's and a near argument. well a misunderstanding of sorts. Just seemed pretty dismissive to call most of the labels mentioned so far as uk boom boom, there are labels from all different countries listed so was an unfair stereotype certainly fair to say.

;)

[fac]

can someone write a wiki for uk boom boom, please? :)
