Label of the year? 2010

[twentyOneDummies]

Hessle Audio
Hyperdub
Punch Drunk (thought they'd get a few more mentions in this thread tbh)
Hemlock
Deep Medi

I love some of the tunes on Nightslugs but some of the tunes are just too housy for my tastes. Ah well.

[fractal]

What about WELL ROUNDED?!?

I'd defo say Well Rounded! They are versatile, always bringing new sound and really active label.

I love that label.

true that, especially considering the hackman, donga & blake and CRST releases and cash antics vol 2

completely understand, tbh i was suprised so many people on the main forum said night slugs. good sign to see so much diversity in selections

[aertikei]

For me these: Night Slugs, Ramp, Ptn, Well Rounded, Planet Mu, Hyperdub, (All City)
because they represent the sound(s) of 2010

For the standard quality dubstep i'd say:
Wheal & Deal, Deep Medi

Tie between R&S Records for the Pariah, James Blake and Model 500 releases this year and NUMBERS. This topic needs more Numbers mentions. Also all the others that have been mentioned in this topic pretty much. 2010 was a nice year for releases.

Swamp 81, Hyperdub, Nightslugs... Can't go past I.R.L EP

[cosmic_surgeon]

Swamp81's been nuts this year, pretty much revolutionised its output from Footcrab onwards. Croydon House is my favourite dark tune of the year aswell.

Deep Medi's been on point too, Smooth Skin was the one during summer.

Yes, R&S... Sick label back in the early 90s and still sick now.

[mchrysler]

Also hyperdub has given us tons of amazing music this year...

kinda been disappointed (as i can be) with hyperdub this year.. i mean compared to earlier years ...
(still an amazing label though)

i dunno, i got boomslang, two sick dva 12's, a darkstar album, ikonika album, and terror danjah album

plus there's other's i'm sure i'm forgetting right now... it's been a long day!

touché!! yeah scratch my last comment... i havnt heard the dark star album yet but i'm sure its sick... but kyle halls ep was another brilliant release.. however i didn't really like the ikonika album..

listened to the whole dark star album three times now and it still just doesn't do it for me... sorry hyperdub... better luck next year

Swamp 81, loads of great labels about though.

[JonKnox]

Planet Mu

[_cheef_]

Planet Mu can be so extremely hit or miss...When they put out something good it's SUPERBLY GOOOOD, but the bad stuff is REAAALLLY BAD...

They put out so many releases! I haven't really been keeping up with them...anyone want to name some of the mu releases you're feeling this year?

[JVMA]

CHRONOS are doing it! one of the only labels with producers that have their own unique sounds!

[cosby]

Night Slugs. Period.


I feel like Swamp 81 and Pattern will both have a good last quarter of 2010, but Night Slugs has been the home of classics this year.

[leslie]

Swamp 81, Deep Medi, Night Slugs and Hessle!

[truefiktion]

Deep Medi + Hench + Night Slugs
