"The label started off as a hobby for myself and Alex Jones and it developed into a labour of love," says Jamie Russell aka Cedric Maison, about his UK house and techno imprint Hypercolour. Since its inception in late 2006, Hypercolour has grown to become one of the most respected labels in the underground, with a reputation for diversity and forward-thinking grooves. From scatty minimal techno, to classic house, disco-flavoured deep house, and melodic tech house, Hypercolour is as mosaic and lively as its name suggests. It counts amongst its DJ fans Claude Von Stroke, Quentin Harris, Simon Baker, and Slam, an indication of the wide musical pool it dips its many toes into. "You don’t make any money nowadays running a label unless you are the Warp’s of this world. We wouldn’t have it any other way though, we are passionate about we do and just love the music that we put out," says Russell. We sat down with the Brighton-based DJ to talk more about Hypercolour and its best releases

Barry Hogan's intimate gathering has become a cult indie institution. Providing a space for the musical underground to congregate and orchestrating a leftfield revolution in the process, ATP is truly unrivalled by any other festival out there. But it is sometimes criticised for its narrow demographic, where the hirsute muso rules the roost and standard festival goers are often nowhere to be seen. Indeed, these bearded post-rock men are an omnipotent force, but look a bit further and you will actually see a social smorgasbord of alternative types: tattoo clad men frolic with the fashion crowd and Warhammer geeks cower in corners with crusties. And they are all drawn together by an obsession with music which nullifies any obvious aesthetic differences. Yes, the faded band t-shirt is still a ubiquitous sight: adorned by many an ATP goer and judged by virtue of its music related obscurity (100 points for Black Flag, 10 points for Blur) But, wankiness aside, ATP is actually a whole load of fun. Put it this w

His first album "Tales of the Forgotten Melodies" drew comparisons to the likes of RJD2, Portishead and DJ Shadow, while his second "Hope + Sorrow" (80.000 sold worldwide) landed him a nomination at the prestigious Victoires de la Musiques, as well as the US Indie Awards. Wax Tailor is coming off a year which saw him tour relentlessly (over 200 concerts) and score the title track for the movie "Paris" by Cedric Klapisch as well as a few remixes (Nina Simone, ASA). He is now a well-established and respected producer. Written in both Paris and New York City, his third album "In the Mood for Life" is an organic landscape with orchestral accents. Taking its cues from Soul, Funk, Hip-Hop or 60's Pop Music, this is one eagerly awaited journey.
