LS City Records is to be a label of love. Set up by DJ and producer
Jamie Fisher as a way of having complete control over the music he
releases, rather than being at the mercy of various other label bosses,
it’s an imprint born in Leeds and one which will showcase the city’s
producing talent.
As someone who has been label manager for other people before, he has
good A&R experience, a thorough knowledge of the way things work
and a healthy collection of contacts: all these things spurred Jamie
into going it alone, the result of which comes in the form of his first
release, his Shapes EP’. A chunky slice of tech, it comes with remixes
from rising stars Benny Royal and Lissat & Voltaxx.
Says Jamie of LS City’s outlook: “The label is just the outlet and
should only have small say in the actual track and final sounds of the
master - I don’t want to interfere too much, I want people to be able
to express themselves and know their music will be put out as they want
it to be.” That approach has attracted artists such as Richard Dinsdale
and Style of Eye who are pencilled in for releases soon, and is sure to
set the label in good stead. With such value placed on individual
expression, then, LS City looks set to be a label which goes its own
way, forging ahead in the realms of underground house and techno, so
keep your ear out...
