We're back!!!!!!
It's almost 9 years to the day since I opened the doors of Section Records with the release of the Tripswitch album Geometry. It's been quite a journey since then, with the label's sound and ethos going through a number of phases, largely through my own changing tastes and forays into different musical territory. I embraced the freeform, "no-borders" approach, it was fun and meant we could really think outside the box on some releases. But the flipside of a broad manifesto is that it became harder and harder to pin down exactly what type of label Section Records was.
I started our sister label Onedotsixtwo a couple of years ago, as my progressive career was really starting to grow. The new label has really thrived, becoming a key player in the progressive house scene in a relatively short space of time ... and I believe a big reason is the the fact that it has a clear musical vision - proper progressive all the way.
So I decided that my 2-year break from Section and downtempo should form the dividing line between the old and the new, and that the time is right to relaunch Section Records and define where we'll be going from here. And so Section is reborn as sctn, and we'll be bringing you nothing but quality electronica, downtempo and chillout.
And that, my darlings, begins next Monday 9th September, with the Bandcamp exclusive launch of the latest collaborative album from Section stalwarts AUDIOGLIDER and Xspance. "Sensory Reception" is an exceptional body of work from 2 producers who, both individually and collectively, continue to hone their craft and turn out remarkable music.
I'm honoured to have this brilliant album as the first release on the 'new' label... You'll be hearing a lot more from it in the coming days / weeks, but for now here's the exclusive premiere of 'Peripheral Vision', kindly hosted by the kind people at Different Grooves!
