"SECOND CITY RECORDS was thought of and created by well known BIRMINGHAM MC/PRODUCER ...ROLAND (LOCAL SUBSTANCE) as a home for all U.K and international artists alike to showcase there musical talents across the globe!!!!Here at second city we are building a reputable label known for strong music and consistent releases appealing to all listeners across the many spectrum's of the drum n bass scene.It all began late 2006 when roland had a vision of a label that new and talented young artists could release tunes on and grow with at the same time.He also wanted to have a label that people could easily recognise for its own unique style in jump up drum n bass.So roland proceeded to put the wheels in motion and started scouting artists that were strong enough to make a big first impression. A short time passed and new talent was discovered to make his dream a reality. All that was left to do was find the right name????The name SECOND CITY RECORDS represents where roland himself grew up (IN THE U.Ks 2ND MAJOR CITY) A place where he as a young lad himself discovered JUNGLE/DRUM N BASS and experienced many fond memories of this weird and wonderful scene also a place which boasts a lot of the scenes major artists of past and present!!!!!!! .Even though second city will have a varied selection of tunes for all tastes we want to concentrate on what we love the most (JUMP UP)and as a label coming from the midlands it shouldn't be difficult. Basically we are looking for artists that have their own individual style and will be able to work alongside us as we carry on building the name of the label we are hoping other well known artists will continue to contribute with guest tracks and remixes as we embark on this journey to keep second city on the map. SO TO ALL ARTISTS (THIS MEANS YOU)if your confident enough in a track that you have made and feel that it would appeal to us here at second city do not waste any time in contacting us 'it can be any style of drum n bass just as long as its original and you have made it yourself.
