a new label , a new day , a new direction. controversial and exciting , this label is going to be one to watch for anyone who has their brain switched on and who can make up their own minds about music. it is not going to play int o the hands of the minimal techno explosion but it will share the space and the dance floor with most styles of techno and provide your audience with some memorable moments in their lives. this is what we believe music should now be aiming to achieve. you are welcome to tell us if you think we are doing that or not. first track rox the box is almost daft punkesque in rhythm , but the groove is more techno styled with some serious heavy gating in the break giving it a glitchey crackly sound. strange dayze is a more mellow minimal techno experiment , a very cool club sound with some unusual melodies enjoy

promise land is a solid deep soulful groove created by koyla. the demo floated around the bombay itunes player for a few of weeks, we needed someone to tear this track up. we tried a couple of options it wasnt working this groove needed something killer. thats were good friend jrod indigo come into play, san fran neo soul singer decides to come into lovely vancouver to hang for a while at bombay studio hq, and thats were the story starts for this track. jrod writes and lays down his song and creates the promise land over koylas ripping hooks and players. everyone is diggin the direction, timmy comes in and throws in some backups, inhouse producers sean dimitrie and nav take all the parts and put together a b side. the awaaz mix takes the track into a late night bumping funky direction with ambient tripped out textures and hard detroit style chords. overall this is a classic style ep with a real organic disco avour, that will never die for us. koyla and jrod are true musicians and deserve the fullest respect in this genre.
