Year 2000, Tokyo, Japan and the birth of a brand new independent label - PLAY. Focusing on dubby vibes and liquid funky grooves, PLAY plans to bring you the best from the eclectic world of international club music. With a roster of artists from Europe and America as well as Japan, PLAY presents a global network of like minded fusionists, bringing warmth and experimentation to the electronic scene. In the true dub spirit, many of the artists on the label seamlessly blend live instrumentation, with the latest cut and paste studio technology, while others add spacious atmospherics to breakbeat and hip hop influenced sample-based workouts. A filmic quality permeates a cross section of the music on PLAY, adding an imaginative depth and exploratory feel to the electronic heartbeat. Album releases on the label will reflect this wide and inclusive approach to music, yet retain strong themes, particularly through the STONE. SCISSORS. PAPER. series of compilations. 12" vinyl releases will be more hard hitting, featuring cross-cultural remix collaborations by the featured artists, aimed more specifically towards the dancefloor. PLAY label A+R man is Young Jeff - originally from the UK but a Tokyo resident for several years. Jeff has a decade of experience as a club DJ, playing dub, electronica, and all manner of diverse sounds and grooves both in the UK and Japan.
