Since 2001, Switchstance Recordings has been standing strong both in the club and music world and in the boardsports community. Releases of the label's artists on vinyl and CD, cooperations with labels such as Stereo Deluxe, ESL Music, Fort Knox, Six Degrees, OM Records or Catskills as well as the regular use of its music in international boardsports videos by companies like 411, Method Mag, Quiksilver, Absinthe Films, Element Skateboards or Red Bull have established Switchstance as a music label, while its DJs have stunned audiences at big international events such as Air & Style, Burton European Open, Winter Music Conference, Freestyle.ch, Snowbombing, ISPO, Midem or Bread & Butter.
The label´s creed and therefore the style of its producers and DJs is to have ultimate freedom, whether in their musical movements or in "switching" between various styles.
The aim of the label is to combine early musical influences such as Funk, Jazz, Latin, 90´s Hip Hop and Reggae with the most progressive techniques of electronic music production in order to create a new dynamic sound that pays respect to the diverse cultures it comes from. It is the soundtrack of the lives of artists that dedicate their time and energy to produce cutting-edge grooves for a conscious and open-minded generation. Inspired by the label members' and friends' lifestyles in music, boardsports, arts and travels; the sound of Switchstance is always in motion and reflects a unique vision and attitude towards modern life.
Dope Beats for Dope Peeps!!!
"If DJ Cam had to rough up his melodic but polished beats to make a smashing breaks album for Ninja Tune, you might get the idea of what a Switchstance record would sound like." (RE:UP Magazine 2004)
