Electro, House, Trance & Techno Releases: Corrupted Recordings. About

An enormous frustration with the ways of the underground dance world proved to be the sole catalyst for the inevitable birth of Corrupted Recordings ...

At a time of changes in the industry when record labels opted to avoid taking risks on unknown and emerging producers, Tim Catley & Jeff Sealey had enough of the excuses. The only way forward was establishing a label of their own. The proposed material for the label was very much on the filth ridden side of the dance spectrum and thus, 'Corrupted' was finally chosen as the name to portray that experience.

Corrupted Recordings launched in February '05 with filth, grit, dark, tough and hard energy originally in mind. Its initial aim was to create immediate visibilty within the scene by featuring prominent producers on remix duty. The label thus generated a healthy interest throughout its first year and had success with 'Necrophilia' signed to two compilations released on leading labels within the scene.

Over the course of its first year, Corrupted has had a number of extra hands in the running of the label. However, Tim and Jeff have always been at the helm of the project. With the departure of associates in early '06, the duo in charge re-evaluated their direction, amended the label ethos to expand their target market by including further genres and added GRiT to the Corrupted equation.

August '06 saw the beginning of further adventure for the crew ... Corrupted Data, the digital arm of the main label launched in full force!

Both labels offered a wide slice of underground dance music with its multi-genre, crossover releases covering Electro, House, Hard House, Hard Trance, NRG, Tech-Trance, Techno and everything in-between.

Since then, changes within the music scene and style have lead to the halt on the main vinyl label of Corrupted Recordings.  Tim is still the main man at the head of the Corrupted stable and has taken the music in another direction, since then the digital arm of Corrupted “Corrupted Data” has flourished.  Providing all forms of Techno has bought in a new wave of great up & comers and established artists that has been a breath of fresh air to the label.  Not one for bending on the quality Tim keeps a keen eye on the tracks being released to make sure that all releases make the “Corrupted” standard.

With the music bug still in his veins, Tim has recently bought a new vinyl label into the Corrupted “family”, Cosa Nostra was born January 2010.  The new family have arrived and aim to bring Techno and all of it’s forms to the front and in the usual Corrupted vision bring up & coming artists together with established producers to provide an unbeatable force in every release.

Corrupted still continue to support emerging producers to promote their high quality productions as well as established artists in its jaunt to provide material suitable for an experience of utterly corrupted senses!
