Bay Street Recordings- NEW LABEL, SUPER SOUND

Another new label, not even listed on Discogs (the dance music bible) yet is Bay Street Records. I have no idea where the label is based, what exactly they are about and who'd behind the project.

So with that complete void of knowledge on my part, the first release is Each - 'Upside Down' E.P. which features four tunes to make you think its about 1995 again. They each have their own techno sound, and sound so wonderful! 'Blow Up' has all the qualities of early Orbital music, when it was so strong on melodies and simple drum patterns that were just so superb.

The track 'Zabriskie Point' gives me this complete memory of me around the age of 14. I was listening to stuff like this by the likes of As One in bed until 4am with school the next day, wondering why my life was so crap at that point- it provided me with complete escapism!

Looking back I can see how music really does function for you and it now all has some deeper meaning of a place, emotions or a whole era. I hope to hear many more releases of this standard from Bay Street Recordings, what a start!
