Sign up to our mailing list below and we'll send you the MP3 download of our Numbers label showcase mix from Mary Anne Hobbs' BBC Radio 1 show. Mixed by our own Spencer it features a whole heap of tracks we'll be releasing in 2010 plus some classics from the old labels.. On-going expect good patter, infrequent release news and exclusive free giveaways - no spam.
In early 2010 we'll be releasing the first two records on Numbers. Deadboy's If U Want Me and Low Limit & Lando Kal (aka Lazer Sword) - The Golden Handshake EP, swiftly followed by Redinho Bare Blips.
Throughout 2010 we'll be releasing lots of music from some artists you've heard of, and some you haven't. As with all things Numbers (and the old labels), art-direction and production will be handled by our friends and partners at Remote Location.
Subscribe to our mailing list and you'll be the first to know about what's happening with us (and you'll get some free mixes in the process).
To celebrate we held a couple of launch parties at the Sub Club in Glasgow and Plastic People in London - thanks to everyone who came down and made them special, and a big thanks to the artists Lazer Sword, Deadboy, Dorian Concept, Redinho, Ben UFO and Rustie, for treating us to the debut of his new live show.
Well after six years of pinching each others artists, selling each others records, and trying to explain to friends why we have THREE (or more) record labels, we thought it was a good idea to join forces, start fresh, and do things bigger and better under the name of the events we have been promoting together: Numbers.
For those who don't know... Numbers is our party hailing from Glasgow which has been running for over six years. We've packed crowds into sweaty basements and thousand-strong raves with our crack team of resident DJs and musical heroes. We're proud to be in the middle of a Glasgow music scene that has never been stronger - Optimo, Rubadub and the LuckyMe collective are testament to that.
Our music policy swaggers from techno to hip-hop, via 80s R&B screamers, house, electro, UK funky, dubstep - really anything that excites us and makes a party, providing it's programmed in the right order. Over the years we've matched acts like Modeselektor, Kode9, Actress, Untold, Joker, Hud Mo and Rustie with founding influences – Dopplereffekt, Smith N Hack, Ghostface Killah, Autechre, Lory D and Squarepusher.
Backing up the music are razor sharp visuals and design from Retina Glitch and Remote Location.
Thanks to you we're now in year six and still putting on the best new producers alongside Numbers favourites.
