About Me

formed in 2006 we are a unique independant digital record label, signing extra special artists - who have a unique style and powerful energy to their music.since then we have gone from strength to strength releasing both physical and download albums and singles for our artists on both sides of the atlantic and in europe.We seek to define ourselves by quality rather than genre, proven by our artists signed so far, whose styles range from Disco Punk, to Lounge Hop, Ambient, reggae, jazz and rock. It has been a time of consolidation here at Criminal Recordz, however we are now in a position to start looking for new talent to add to our rosta. If you think that you have what it takes then please send us your demo, we would love to hear from you. Simply zip up 4 or 5 of your best tracks and mail them to us via 'YOUSENDIT' to [email protected]. We shall aim to get back to you within 14 days.

Member Since: 7/22/2006
Band Website: criminalrecordz.com
Band Members: we have decided to use this section to keep you up to date with current criminal affairs and news of members of our criminal family.....for the full details check our blog at.......... www.criminalrecordz.com.November starting off with a Bang! After the highs of the Live and Dangerous gig, we might have thought that there would be a brief pause for some R and R. Unfortuantely, or maybe fortunately - that has not been the case. Perhaps most exciting news is that Yamasaki’s brilliant new album is now availiable for download on I-Tunes, along with the brilliant dub masters Pirate radio and the long awaited new single from dave dark and the sharks - i’ve resigned! But that is just the tip of the ice berg, the new album from echo is availiable to buy exclusively on CD and sales have been well above expectations, - check out the last blog for a link to buy this astonishing work.I have recieved the album from our other french artist Nineee, in the past few days and needless to say that its a brilliant collection of this electro magicians work. Featuring old favourites such as I’m Happy and Binary machine but my current favourite is the haunting Blues track that would not look out of place in an old clint east wood western - so clint if you are availiable we might want to use you for the video ? am sure we can arrange some free downloads for you as a fee ?The Karen tween release should be availiable later this week, has been a delay on the completed art work - so its a little later than anticipated but it will be worth the wait i assure you, head over to our social hubb for a sneak preview if you have not heard her yet. (also if you live in portsmouth UK, then head down to the edge of the wedge in southsea to hear her live on 29th november 2007 - it will be a rare treat! Her voice is amazing and I will challenge you to not fall in love her music!)We have also had communication that our brand is starting to build momentum with our teutonic brothers in Germany, so many thanks to you all for supporting our work - we really appreciate you taking the time out to support our artists.That’s just about it for now, i’ll update you with the links to Nineees and Karens release once I recieve confirmation from our manufacturer.Or if you cant wait till then keep checking this link for all of our current physical releases - perfect stocking fillers
Influences: dave dark & the sharks echo nineee karen tween paul groovy and the pop art experience pirate radio revolution 74 riboflavin vice lounge yamasaki unsigned talent, live music our fans, family and above all the groove

The Thunderous Sound Of Erm... Thunder?
