Kissy Sell Out launches New Label...

So, I'm pretty sure most of you are familiar with a certain DJ/Producer and all round musical rave guru Sir Kissy Sell Out, as I refer to him. I've been a fan of his for a number of years now... always consistantly ahead of the game, a fine fine DJ, and now staying true to his word, by helping the support the best up and coming talent he can find.


This month finally curated and launched his own label that he's been blabbering on about for the past few months... and it's called San City High.
“The ethos of the label is to support the idea of ‘fair trade and freedom for artists’, so I hope that this sets a precedent so we can ALL give something back to the music industry. My love of other people's music has always motivated most things I do in life, so running my own record label where my job is basically to use that natural enthusiasm to help new artists develop their careers and rave on to other people about how good my team's tunes are is a dream come true! I've always believed record labels should be like clubs where you can hang out with friends who like the same things as you do - and that's all San City High is really, you'll never see the San City High logo heading an exclusive 360 multi-album deal contract, but your gonna see the logo fronting some hot music this year and maybe even some cool t-shirts too!”
He's gathered together four of his favourite up and coming producers and DJs for a special Sampler EP, and he's kindly giving away one of the tracks, a 16Bit remix of his single Garden Friends, for FREE! Grab it below...


You can grab the full Sampler EP, with contributions from Hot Pink Delorean, The Squatters and Lazy Flow from the San City High website, for FREE here. There will also be follow up singles from each, all the details are below.
The first official release of the label, will be Kissy's new single with Tinashe, titled Come On Over... which has been supported with remixes from Leatherhead, Urchins, Punx Soundcheck and Schizofonics. Kissy has given us a run down all of the releases for you to put in your diaries... what a nice chap.

  1. Love "The Court Jester" remix by Hot Pink Delorean! He seems to be remixing everything these days...including my favorite song at the moment Sariah's "Deep N Luv" (www.facebook.com/sariah)
