A-Inc a.k.a Akira Ishihara's Friend Space (Top 40)
This is the next release by PERCENT RECS. It was given to the very young producers from Italy - Aumrec. The duo's distinctive mark in this release is their eccentric sound. They create their sound under the influence of the artists Umek, Sven Väth, Jeff Mills... and will skillfully present it to the audience in the future. It would be difficult to determine the exact category of these artists' music. Deep, experimental, acid-minimal and techno are just a very small part of Aumrec's sounding in this release. They boldly introduce to us their vision of contemporary electronic dance music. Aumrec's sounding is partly modern and brave but they've put a light, interesting flavour of the good, old Detroit techno. This release is just for you if you happen to like either Cristian Vogel, Neil Landstrumm or Pacou. You will have the opportunity to buy PERCENT RECS 03 from Beatport, Juno, DJShop and other online stores starting from 10 November 2009.

After the good start of Melt (a.k.a Tony Thomas) with Quantum Process EP issued for PERCENT REC it's now time for the second release. Our label offers rather different and more eccentric sound this time! The much talked about japanese producer Shin Matsura is already a part of PERCENT REC's team. Shin has accentuated mostly the experimental sound! The most emphasized-on moments that have been chosen by the producer are a kind of somehow very dark, minimal and deep tech taken as a whole. Shin Matsura who is avant-garde and quite harsh sometimes will introduce you in a deep and obscure atmosphere where you will be able to transfer your consciousness to. You have the opportunity to buy this EP from Beatport, Juno, DJShop and other online stores beginning from 30 October 2009.
