>> PROFILE

Electronic was started by Shanty in 2002 and established itself as arguably the most pioneering and forward thinking of all freeform labels due to the sheer diversity and innovative nature of its musical output. Electronic released 26 vinyl releases, including five doublepacks and a very limited special edition, which contained music by a huge number of international artists such as Shanty, Tazz, DOK, AC Slater, Carbon Based, Alek Száhala, Pain On Creation, Invader and Twisted Freq. The label was by far the most active vinyl label in promoting Finrg artists like Carbon Based, and also released the debut compositions from Alek Száhala, Pain On Creation and Re-form.

Some of the main compositions on Electronic are Tazz & Loopy 'Battle Of The DJs', Shanty 'Time's Trouble', DOK 'Mental Ward', Shanty & DOK 'London Town', Carbon Based's 'Ultimate Protection' and 'Cyclone', DOK & Dodgee 'Inside', Tazz & Shanty '50,000 Jars Of Hardcore Jam', AC Slater's 'New Evolution', 'Out After Dark' and 'New Rave', Dodgee 'Phukkt', Re-form 'Access To Your Soul', Alek Száhala's 'Comet Catcher', 'Afternoon Owl' and 'Anmitzcuaca', Tazz & Deviance 'War Machine', Pain On Creation 'Second Death', Sonic 'Inside The Ride', Menace 2 Society 'Cougar's Bass (Blizzard Boys Remix)', Shanty 'Time's Trouble (The Panacea Remix)', Oli G & Shanty 'Reign Of Terror', Paocala 'Starfall', Tazz & Shanty Featuring MC Drew 'The Final Fuck You', Invader 'Bang The Drums', Invader & Shanty 'Danse Macabre' and Carbon Based 'Anger Ball', which was licensed to Nu Energy and was remixed by Kevin Energy.

Electronic was distributed by Nu Energy for its first nine releases, before IMO Distribution took over and distributed the remainder of the releases, with the exception of ETRICSE001 and the final two releases which were self-distributed by Electronica Exposed. Unfortunately, the vinyl market for freeform imploded around 2008 and Electronic closed as it was no longer justifiable to press freeform vinyl releases. However, its legacy continued with Electronica Exposed releasing 20 volumes of the Electronic Exclusives unmixed CD compilation album series from 2005 to 2011.

Compositions released on Electronic were licensed to the Hardcore Underground 2, Bonkers 15 : Legends Of The Core, Hardcore Heaven 2, Freeformation, Hardcore Reunited 2, Happyhardcore.com Presents Hardcore Tsunami, Hardcore Baby's Revenge - Mixed By DJ Yousuke, Crush On Hardcore 3 - A New Era and Nu Energy 100 - The Final Chapter compilation albums.

Over 6 years, Electronic released music from a number of highly regarded international artists and the artist roster includes Shanty, Tazz, Loopy, Penguin Conspiracy, Impact, DOK, Concept, Ponder, Tom U4EA, James F, Carbon Based, Narcotic, Solar State, AC Slater, Furious, Dodgee, Alek Száhala, Nemes, Nujack, Re-form, Deviance, MC Casper, Digital Anarchy, Lost Soul, Pain On Creation, Sonic, Menace 2 Society, Blizzard Boys, The Acolyte, The Mexican, Paocala, Oli G, MC Drew, Invader, Sean Apollo, Twisted Freq and The Defrocked Alchemist. Electronic was supported by a who's who of freeform DJs including Shanty, Proteus, Kevin Energy, Sharkey, E-nrg, Rx, Oli G, Lee UHF, Devastate and many more!
