No label uncovers the rarities of Switzerland quite like Quartz Records. By Swiss artists and for Swiss artists, the imprint has built a roster of promising talent who share a future-forward approach to electronic music.
Celebrated as it may be, Zurich’s longstanding nightlife traditions can often overshadow some of the city’s more experimental styles. By honing in on a decidedly Swiss signature sound that exhibits elements of downtempo, ambient, R&B and future bass, however, Quartz is doing its part to gradually redefine the city’s musical identity.
The elusive Quartz sound is best encapsulated by the label’s 2017 debut EP (Release Date 3. February). Featuring songs by the original six signees - Sensu, Cella, Andast, Joseph Le Bleu, Modolo and Dorian himself - the compilation gives electronic music fans an idea of what to expect from the imprint in the years to follow.
