Switchstance Recordings is more than just another new label: a strong network of befriended DJs, producers, musicians, graphic artists, sound engineers and boardsports people, who together shape the label and the idea behind it and constantly work on new expressions for this idea.
The Switchstance "Massive" is bound together by a love for the funk, which is to be found in anything audible from them – be it spinned, played live, produced or even spoken. Just right for a crowded dancefloor, an epic snowboard ride or a summery day in the park ... or whatever – as long as it's funky!
Fantastic Freeriding is the first release from Switchstance Recordings - a depiction of the state of the art and a statement, all the while an enthusiastic soundtrack for all the activities mentioned above – and thus reflecting the vibe of Switchstance Recordings in all its varieties.
Electronic breaks meet organic beats, downtempo jazz meets uptempo funk, dub meets afro or hiphop meets drum'n'bass – the multi-faceted program of the Switchstance DJ Collective, which has caused strong interest on dancefloors in Germany and abroad, is also the creed of the label's producers:
Fantastic Freeriding shows Protassov as a sample- and jam-wizard with a liking for raw, earthy funk beats, which show sentiment in all the right places. Deela is a four-headed afro-funk-hydra, which combines programmed elements with live-jamming and has already gained a reputation as a strong live outfit. Kabanjak puts a bright mosaic of many different shades together – bound together by the best putty there is: funk! Ancient Astronauts are standing ankle-deep in the living funk while nodding their heads in the orbit – it's no wonder that their music on Fantastic Freeriding breathes so many interesting spheres ...!
