Circulation Recordings was the production home of Circulation, an alias used by Brits Matt Jackson & Paul Davis. In my opinion, they were the finest producers of tech-house. Unfortunately, their output ended abruptly in 2005. It is strange though, that a Twitter account has been set-up since May 2018 for the record company.
Compost Records was a recent finding, after buying two EPs (Jay Shepheard/Lukas Bohlender). The label was founded by DJ Michael Reinboth in 1994, focused initially on jazzified dance music. Over the years, many big names of the scene were presented in the releases either as producers and/or remixers (Carl Craig, Moodymann, Laurent Garnier, Masters At Work, Dixon, Kruder & Dorfmeister). The label continues to release high quality music and on May 2019 a 10-vinyl box set was released, in order to celebrate the 25 years of existence.
Cutting Records is an influential electro US label, founded in 1983 by brothers Aldo Marin & Amado Marin. The seminal electro track Hashim - Al Naafiysh (The Soul) was released by the label, which was a milestone for the history of electronic dance music. Although I do not own a copy of this historic track, the legendary label deserves a spot here!
