Formed in 1997, and inaugurated that year with a split 12inch from new-comers and label founders, Solvent and Lowfish, this year Suction Records celebrates its 20th anniversary with the re-introduction of their famed Snow Robots series of compilations. While originally started as a North American answer to UK electronix labels like Rephlex, Skam and Warp Records, a sound that is still a staple of the current Suction Records catalog, Suctions sound has also swerved into new territories, reflecting our love of dark 80s electronic music synthpop, EBM, and beyond. Snow Robots Volume 4 features an international array of artists, fromSuction Records mainstays like Digital Poodle, June, Celldoed, and Ceramic Hello (with their much sought-after 1982 vocoder anthem), to label-favourites appearing on Suction Records for the first time: Beau Wanzer, Morah, and one of Skanfrom/Sleeparchives lesser known aliases, Civil Defence Programme.
