UK labels

[Supine]

Just wondering if any of you people are feeling any UK music labels at the moment?

Supine

[kev]

Laws of Motion is the sh!t

[Munch]

Papa Records/ Chilli Funk are always on point for soulful house tracks

Bitasweet/ 2000 Black for anything that little bit out of the norm (if the norm was straight up house)

[Munch]

Damn, forgot about Laws of Motion, some nice releases right there

[Martin Red]

Depends

Apart from the ones mentioned:- Mantis Records

[Louie G]

SOLE MUSIC excellent house gear

cRaiG...

Isn't most uk vinyl pressed in france/outside uk these days? Or was that just a rumour????

Keep up the tips. I've been missing good uk house for a while.

Where's Strut from?

[Martin Red]

supine,

I know in the 80's a lot where manufactured in Germany.

Not sure how much is pressed on the continent now though ?

Mantis are UK manufactured, Thru Thoughts also.

I would be interested to know how many plants are in the UK (except Simply Vinyl) ?

Supine Sadly there's no more Strut, but expect good things from the guys with Whistlebump. No doubt Simon will hit us with more information.

Z Records are good, looking forward to the new Sunburst Band album

['Magic' Juan]

Most of their newer releases are wack, but the early stuff on Cyclo was RAW. Very much in the same vein as the Cajual stuff. Gemini, J Fiasco, Derrick Carter, JT Donaldson, etc were contributors.

these labels are pretty inconsistent probably BBE is the pick

[Martin Red]

Perfect sense.

[kweer sounds]

What about Big Bear & Motion on the re-edit tip.
Another good old one is Other, don't know if it is still going.

Haven't heard much from them since 2000,when I met Sally Rodgers from A Man called Adam.

Coco Steel & Lovebomb - X2 12" LP may have been the last thing.

I think Chris Coco is also part of Other
