Where You Should Be? Anticipate?
Anticipate's out on OWSLA afaik, and where you shold be is a bit poppy, but a fairly good tune.
I repeat...

god dammit shouldnt have even mentioned skream's output on the label.
definitely not what this conversation should be about.
point is. tempa releases a diverse palette of sounds that at times is confusing, yet chocked full of quality.
can this please not be another skream-bashing thread?

I always thought Tempa was like an offshoot label or a label owned by Rinse.FM or something. So I figured they would be a label that would release pretty much anything they wanted to.

I agree with this and I agree that other labels have a greater coherence in their output. I think that Tempa has been around longest? their output will naturally be more diverse, I also think other labels are catching up diversifying their output, look at the release of Pursuit Grooves on Tectonic, a very good release but not one we would consider a Tectonic release I don't think.
Admittedly I don't get the label hopping that many artists do and I'm not sure why a label would want to be restricted to a particular sound.

Pretty sure it came out on skrillex's label, this is odd however.. who cares, if you don't like it don't buy it.

tempa's output has never confused me, what's confusing is that people think it's confusing that they release dubstep records of different styles.
although, i too would be just as happy if they only released horsepower tunes.

Sure I read somewhere (possibly on here) that it is licensed to Skrillex's label. Certainly shows on the label's releases on their site.

But more importantly...

Always thought "that sound", late garage/early dubstep, didn't live long enough. 2000-2004 has probably the highest concentration of my favourite songs. Was mixing in my bedroom the other day, near enough every release I pulled out was a Tempa release.

Tempa are one of the best labels out there imo, varied but solid releases, artwork is always sick too.

I actually liked Anticipate. I really would have no problem if it got lisenced to Skrillex's label. Just because Skrillex's music isn't that good to some doesn't necessarily mean he has a bad ear for music.

Skrillex is a HUGE Aphex Twin fan. He even claims a liking for Autechre.

kinda off topic question ive always wanted an answer to, is the sarah lockhart associated with tempa and rinse youngsta's sister? would explain a lot of the connections imo haha

She is co-owner of Tempa/FWD and manager of Rinse and is also Youngsta's sister. I found this out when the riots broke out in the UK this year.

On topic: If I ever had the chance to start a label I'd follow the Tempa approach, why limit yourself to a single sound and not capitalize on other opportunities that may allow you to take future risks (constant innovation is needed in an industry) on younger/newer talent at a later time? Releasing quality productions is their apparent maxim, as it should be, everything else follows that.
