Eclectic electro collective squareglass celebrate a year in the game
Other | Thursday 5th November 2015 | Christina
South-East London based electronic label and artist collective squareglass are setting up to celebrate their first anniversary.
The label, known as a home for new and unconventional artists, has spent the last year challenging the boundaries between song-writing, DJ practice and sound art. The first year has been a hugely successful one for squareglass, with releases being endorsed by the likes of The Guardian, i-D, The 405, XLR8R, Notion, Dazed and Clash amongst others, further cementing their burgeoning reputation as one of London’s most interesting imprints.
The anniversary will be celebrated with the release of a boutique, limited edition series of square vinyl, including Bunki's 'SKTCH' and Semi Precious’ ‘When It’s Hard/Light Cleaning’. Also available will be Ballerino’s syrupy ‘Love’, Leiik’s ‘Holes’ and Daniel Cherney’s "minimal feng-shui" single ‘Priest’. True to their innovative ethos, each release will be available in the four different colours of the squareglass logo, representing a fresh and inventive way of delivering and consuming the collective’s unconventional material. Grab the bundle here.
To honour the success of their first year, a special show will aptly take place at Birthdays on 1st December, with Ballerino and Bunki performing alongside label-friends Emperor Yes! and Tryptych. The night paves the way for the exciting prospect of squareglass’ bi-monthly residency at the venue, which will begin in 2016 in collaboration with VICE.
Having flourished over the past year, and with a strong schedule of exciting new releases forthcoming over the next months, the label’s first birthday looks set to be just one of many to come.
