Chilli Mint Music Up The Ante In The Vinyl Vs. Digital Debate
Thursday 1st March 2012 | Osh
If you’re any kind of discerning music collector – electronic or otherwise – you’ll know how the ‘Vinyl vs. Digital’ debate has started to invade the conversation of almost every DJ and producer across the globe.
In a digital world that’s knee-deep in recession, the costs and inconvenience of vinyl is sometimes too much for consumers to bear. Nevertheless, there still remains staunch support for the original medium of the DJ, thanks to the unsurpassable sound quality of those slabs of wax.
Part of that support is from new record label Chilli Mint Music, an innovative tech- and deep-house imprint set up by a couple of well-known producers that aims to actively reward those who remain true to the craft of vinyl. As international DJs and producers, the label bosses, who for now wish to remain anonymous in an effort to provide quality of music over quality of reputation, have been immersed in the debate for years and finally decided it was time to reclaim some pride in the medium and some exclusivity for its patrons.
By choosing to release tracks in extremely limited runs of vinyl weeks and months before any kind of digital release, CMM is the first and only label to truly support those who purchase and use vinyl. Those who manage to get their hands on a physical copy will then be sent the digital copies a whole two weeks before they go on sale.
It’s an exciting new concept that we think a lot of labels will be imitating in the near future and it’s for this reason that Chilli Mint Music is this month’s Label of the Month.
The first releases on Chilli Mint Music are two various artists EPs, featuring tracks by Joao Teixeira, Whim-ee, Deep Fiction and Betoko, amongst others. With future releases from Sellouts, Lee Webster and a whole host of others, Chilli Mint Music is looking to quickly establish itself as a leading label in the house scene.
