After 9 years of dedication to free underground electronic music, I’ve reached to the decision that the time has come for Chase Records Netlabel to plunge into the depths of the Internet ocean, probably forever.
Yes, dear friends and listeners, you’ve guessed it, this means Chase Records will stops its activities with that 60th and LAST release.
But in any mean I could stop the label without putting all my efforts in trying to offer a last groundbreaking release. So, for this last session I’ve contacted various artists I love, from all around the world, to ask them to create / send a track they feel to be related with the theme of the abyss. I give them a white card to submit what could be their ideal soundtrack for a diving to the darkest depths of the ocean.
35 of them answered positively to this request and send 36 – believe me – absolutely awesome tracks, covering a wide range of styles and BPM.
As I really wanted this compilation to sound and look professional, I’ve asked to Arnaud Ruffieux (Ruff-Tang Laboratories / Switzerland) to provide the mastering for the tracks and Arnaud Coeffic aka Arco / Sonic Area (France) to create the artwork of the release.
The final result of all these concerted efforts is this incredible 3 CDs compilation, available for free, and just waiting for you to hit the download button and PLAY IT OUT LOUD!
Honestly, I couldn’t hope more for a last release! So I would like to thank every contributing artists, as I would also like to thank all the previous Chase Records artists and contributors during those 9 years of pure experience in the awesome world of hard and dark electronic music.
