Throughout SXSW I checked out an insane number of DJs, but only one got me extremely excited. I’m talking so excited that I hunted down these tracks I was dancing to the moment I got home. Makes sense that I had never heard of any of them as they’re all unreleased as of now!
My search led me to what is surely to be one of 2010’s hottest dance labels - Slow Roast Records! This outfit is headed by 3-time World DMC champion DJ Craze alongside labelmates (and heavy hitters in the electronic scene): Kill The Noise, Klever, 12th Planet, and Senor Stereo. Futhermore, the label is a subsidiary of A-Trak’s Fool’s Gold label, so clearly there is a lot of faith behind it!
The first EP scheduled for release will come from Kill The Noise on April 6th, marking the official release of the long-anticipated “Roots” and “Jokes On You”. Definitely take a listen to these tracks at the official MySpace page or on Kill The Noise’s official site.
As an added bonus, Slow Roast Records are now running an official podcast (or, err, Hogcast), click here to listen! Tracklist as follows:
