Original ideas and concepts tend to grow and develop. What started out as an internet site with an stimulating and interesting forum is going to the next level. This month sees the Groovecollection crew launch not one but three labels: Groovecollection Black, Groovecollection Red and Groovecollection Originals.
The Black label will push the progressive and house sounds while the Red one will focus on electro, hip hop and vocal music. Groovecollection Originals will be purely original artist music, with no remixes but full EP's instead, giving the artist chance to show real diversity.
Label owners Peter van Hal (ex-Extrema) and Jerry van Schie have both been a integral part of the Dutch dance scene for many years. 365Mag spoke exclusivly to label boss Jerry van Schie who said of the new venture "This is something I wanted to do for a long time after being in the music scene for over 15 years as a DJ, forum owner and clubber. With Peter's experience coupled with my love for the music this project is in the right hands."
The debut Groovecollection Red was a Muzikjunki track entitled Dem Try. The followup release is by Muzikjunki & Myu Myu feat. Marty Lee. It is an electro stormer entitled Break Me Shake Me and is enjoying Dutch radio play as we speak, with 538's Dance Department and 3FM's LOS giving it good support.
The first track on the completely digital label Groovecollection Black is from Medway & Sven Hauck with a release entitled Heliopause. The package enjoyed a full release just last week after getting plays from many of the top jocks on promo, spurred on by remixes from Kosmas Epsilon and Add2basket. The Kosmas Epsilon remix is finding favour with John Digweed currently.
The next track on the label is Kosmas Epsilon with the much-talked about Paranoid. The label has high hopes for the track, which has already been featured on the double CD Addictive Volume 1, mixed by Luke Chable and Kosmas Epsilon. The package also contains an Eelke Kleijn Remix which is enjoying plays on John Digweed's Kiss100 Transitions show, and will also feature on Hernan Cattaneo's new Renaissance CD in April/May.
The likes of Oliver Moldan, Yvel & Tristan, Pinkbox Special, Nils Noa, Fine Taste, Nick K are all pencilled in for future releases. It's looking as if Holland's newest label is bringing in the talent in time for the summer, and with key support from the likes of John Digweed and company, expect the imprint's profile to rise.
Groovecollection's members are a social bunch too, gathering for a monthly shindig in the heart of Amsterdam for a get together, giving the best in local talent the chance to shine and develop in venues such as TWSTD and Panama.
