An exploration of where genres meet and collide, a place where dark Electronica meets Light Music, the music is deliberately diverse and eclectic in its reference points.

The label’s official site is http://whitelabel-music.co.uk/white_label.html His previous album, ‘West of Here is West of Here’, is also available on White Label Music (WLM 087).

The textures of 3eem arise from soundscapes created in studio intersected with live sax and guitar, drawing well defined sounds. Fabrizio Bazzoni (sax, voice).

The Protagonist! - PINK FUZZ (album - U.S Import) collaboration
WHITE LABEL MUSIC SHOP
THE PROTAGONIST! - ALBUM - PINK FUZZ The Protagonist! is Keith Robert Haworth, a London based artist who describes himself as 'not bespoke, not best fitting...' Some have labeled his cinematic beat compositions 'sleazy listening' but perhaps this infamy comes from his inclusion in WM Recordings' 'Wakka Chikka Wakka Chikka Vol II' - an imaginary porn soundtrack. However, apart from the occasional x-rated sample, his music is a blend of hip-hop and tripped-out drum & bass, warm melodic analog synths and chilled-out screamadelica brass! The title track from 'Pink Fuzz!' will shortly be featured on the soundtrack of the film 'Skateland', starring Ashley Greene from Twilight... Do you dig?
