Corsair Artists
IDC
"Electro iconoclast IDC isn't your typical DJ/producer - he's more like a multi-instrumentalist mix between Brian Wilson and DFA's James Murphy" is how DJ Mag described IDC in a major interview feature late 2011.
Second album "The Sun Is Always Shining Above The Clouds" was released in late summer 2011 and called "A brilliant work" in a 9/10 DJ Mag review. Lead single 'Eins Deux Tres' was awarded 'Electro Tune Of The Month' in Mixmag and DJ Mag said "I think this is 'Single Of The Year'".

United Sounds of Europe
With grandparents from Italy, Poland, Scotland and Germany and parents born in Spain and France, when Angel Tripudio (himself Belgian by birth) began making music the only possible outcome was the United Sounds of Europe.
Most recent single "Statute Of Anne" was awarded "Money Shot/Electro Single Of The Month" in DJ Mag.

2K Subs
2K Subs is a new project from Martin Whiteman and Max Quirk for like-minded people who love house music. Born out of the desire to create unique "impressionistic electronic music" with a mixture of found and self-made sounds, the foundation is firmly on the dance floor with a freedom that allows experimental ideas. With 2K Subs, they combine their skills paying careful attention to sound quality to make sure the ideas speak loud and clear.
Debut single 'Haunted backed with the nine minute opus 'Out There' is out now.
Lo Fidelity Allstars
The ground-breaking, often copied but never bettered, dance/rock pioneers' their third album "Northern Stomp" was cited as "a dance-tinged hybrid that becomes more fascinating with each listen" by Q Magazine whilst DJ Mag wrote "The Lo-Fis are back and they deserve adoration all over again".
Mixmag recently classed the band as "one of dance music's 'Galacticos'"

Lord Warddd
DJ Mag call Phil 'Lord' Ward "ghetto, scratchadelic and totally original" and it's a pretty good decription of his New York-based output.
The 2011 debut album "Saturday Night Is Ours" led iDJ to say it's "certainly helping lay the foundations for what will undoubtedly be the new dance music generation."

Corsair's Ethos
Corsair Records is a successful totally independent UK based label that has been releasing music since 2004.
Consistent outstanding reviews have seen numerous 5 stars and 'records of the week' awarded across the major dance press.
We don't think of music as separated by 'genre' and our approach is neatly summed up by DJ Mag :
"Eclectic can often be a byword for lack of direction, but not for Corsair Records. Each track is high on impact without sounding like something you’ve heard 149 times before."
