AIRECORDS / AI RECORDS / AREAINFO

About Me

AIRECORDS / AREAINFO began in 1999.

LABEL PROFILE: FACT MAGAZINE:
All of their artists are releasing music for the first time but seem mindful of the standards of the past.
At a time when the electronica scene seems to be almost choking on its tongue, where any one with a computer is makeing music,
standards are everything.

Founded by steve, jason and phil in 1999, the trios love for vintage detroit/transmat material and early warp/skam has set the label on a well bred trajectory. the labels motivation is to keep “ makeing and releaseing music that carries on from where electronica was at its best”.

it seems that they have the perfect consensus of when that period was.
Ai's bright technicolour sleeves are currently adorning the windows of record shops around the country but be warned. they dont hang around for long.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 2/17/2006
Band Website: airecords.com
Influences:

If you've ever heard a record by Drexciya, Boards Of Canada, Carl Craig or Richard D James you'll have a good idea of what Ai offer,but when their tracks sound this accomplished, there's little to complain about. the ai in airecords stands for: areainfo. not artificial inteligence as most people think... In terms of electronica, new ground was broken in the 80's and 90's.

Now, in the 2000's, we are in the age of refinement and the releases on
Ai Records are most certainly techno and electro refined to its pinnacle.
