Labels / Releases? what's going on?

[Be-1ne]

What labels are actually putting out tunes on vinyl these days? Unless it's me being a miserable git (possibly) It seems to be the same names cropping up on the same few labels.?

Has Dubstep hit ground zero? Some wicked tunes floating about, perhaps people should have some faith and take it back to the roots and put their own stuff out?

Thoughts? and list some vinyl labels.

P.s. I will par you if you post the same labels as someone has already mentioned in this thread.

So this year a few labels have caught my attention:
-Innamind had 2 releases last year but have put out 5 records this year, all of them brilliant.
-Lion Charge Records has also put out some really good records this year.
-Really liked both the Niteshade Inc releases.
-A few bigger labels have had some good releases too, Chestplate, Tectonic and Box Clever had some good records.
-Deep Medi's year has been really strong, Commodo, Goth Trad, Tunnidge and Dub Mechz records were really good.
-Soundman Chronicles had 2 records out this year and they are 2 brilliant plates, really rate em
-Moving away from dubstep a bit, Keysound have put out a lot this year, good variety and some great new music.

As for producers, it seems to be the same names keep cropping up:
-Killawatt and Ipman have put in work this year.
-Gantz's name keeps cropping up everywhere and for good reason imo.
-Las made probably one of the best dubstep records of the year with Uuha and his bit on Signal Life was great too.
-Kaiju has had 4 released out this year.
-Kahn with his solo project, Gorgon Sound stuff and his Bandulu stuff, he's been busy this year

New DMZ this year, new Coki plates, Artikal pushing good sounds. DJ Madd has released quite a few tunes on vinyl this year, some white labels to boot. VIVEK/System still pushing the sound, Mindstep are getting into the vinyl camp. Plus everything Riddles said. There's plenty of good stuff to go around, though certainly with the growing amount of digital releases it can feel like there's little happening for the vinyl community.

Artikal been on top form.
Uprise seem like they have a nice little team and a clear direction of where they're going and where they wanna be.
System same as Uprise really, come across like they have a clear vision of where they wanna go with the label.


DJ Madds label has clearly taken up a lot of his time as its been his quietest year by a mile on the production front and his label hasn't released too much or delivered some hype around forthcoming material.. it has potential, whether it materialises is yet to be seen.
Cokis label, again feel like theres no direction or anything. Just a way to get his own tunes out that isn't on DMZ.
Amits - same as above.
Kapsize - looks like Jokers back on putting stuff out but as for the label it just looks like a source for bringing his own music out thus far.

Medi, Chestplate, Osiris, Tectonic, Tempa.. just another year at the office for them, doing what they've always been doing and doing it well imo. Newer labels need to aspire to be like them instead of just self releasing or throwing anything out there.

Seems like most people are more interested in running a label rather than actually putting out music themselves.

Hopefully see Black Box/Box Clever back on it next year.. hopefully Get Darker too I've always liked their releases.


Nebula Music Group is a notable mention thats digital only (so far at least)

niteshade inc
version was promising, but it seems the label disappeared

tbh apart from a handful of producers, can't say i'm actively seeking new dubstep
