Switchstance Recordings now presents its first digital only label compilation called “Forward Ever – Backward Never”. This compilation showcases a quality selection of songs from the past years of the labels releases. It is a collection of organic Breaks & Beats, Downtempo, Hip Hop, Funk and Reggae related rhythms and grooves. The Sound of Switchstance Recordings!
"Switchstance" is taken from the culture of boardsports, meaning the skill used to change the stance (easily) by switching one's foot position. The stance in freestyle Snowboarding or Skateboarding, is either riding in "regular" (left foot forward) or "goofy" (right foot forward) position. This identifies a really skilled rider and opens up a whole new world of trick combinations.
The label's creed and therefore the style of its producers and DJs is to have ultimate freedom, whether in their musical movements or in "switching" between various styles. The aim of the label is to combine early musical influences such as Funk, Jazz, Latin, 90..s Hip Hop and Reggae with the most progressive techniques of electronic music production in order to create a new dynamic sound that pays respect to the diverse cultures it comes from. It is the soundtrack of the lives of artists that dedicate their time and energy to produce cutting-edge grooves for a conscious and openminded generation.
Inspired by the label members' and friends' lifestyles in music, boardsports, arts and travels; the sound of Switchstance is always in motion and reflects a unique vision and attitude towards modern life.
While steadily gaining more and more kudos on an international level, Switchstance Recordings' already presents its next installment within the realms of dope beats and advanced sounds.
Where We Live is the new EP rolling out of the studio of Protassov, beatsmith and psychedelist from the dark heart of the German Ruhr area, who has been part of the Switchstance crew since the label's very beginnings.
