FROGMAN RECORDS
Tokyo-based Frogman Records was set up as an independent and experimental techno/electronic label in 1993. At a time when Japanese artists were starting make waves in clubs all over the world, Frogman was instrumental and also one of the initial catalysts for the west's burgeoning interest in the new electronic sounds emerging from the far east. Since then Frogman have gone on to provide music for TV adverts, internet radio programs, game soundtracks, mobile phone jingles, as well as releasing more than 20 CDs and 40 vinyl releases worldwide. The Frogman imprint now has an roster of musicians from Japan, Russia, Germany, Sweden, America and the UK who all continue to make it one of the most innovative independent labels working in Japan today.
U.S.B.
USB, which stands for United Sounds of Blue, is the new diffusion label from the Frogman stables. The USB imprint was started in order to release more eclectic and esoteric music from artists who don't fit into the rigid confines of techno, but opt instead to produce deep, spiritual house, tech-house, nu jazz and futuristic techno soul. USB is very much about drawing from a wide range of electro-acoustic influences like electronica, jazz and funk and twisting them into a compelling showcase that glides effortlessly through genres, but without sounding like a contrived mish mash of styles and flavours. USB is essentially about releasing music that has depth, emotion and originality. It's less about four-to-the-floor kickdrums and more about laid-back bars and chilled, intimate nightclubs. United Sounds of Blue is the soundtrack to our everyday lives.
