Record Labels for Crate Digging

By MattMatiks PG Mon Aug 16, 2004 4:53 am

Anybody on here have any record labels that you just love...

Like even if you never heard of the artist you pick it up just because you know it's gonna be quality...

Like for me, ATCO Records is the best record label to look for when digging...

Any other preferences...

Vanilla Fudge, Iron Butterfly, Bent Fabric, Buffalo Spribgfield, King Curtis...

The list goes on, but just know that when you pick it up... It's gonna be trippy and most of the times with open drum shots or breaks...

you might laugh but

DENON

when ever you se this label and it is a japanese record pick it up

I have like 200 denon records and they all are worth there spins in gold....

There is one record with a guy wearing a turban that is playing a white guitar and he looks like hes of arab descent but hes playing all japanese music...And on top of that hes posing exactly like Andre 3000

All leaned over and shit so kinda makes you wonder where andre got his style fromm...

Also any turban music from the 50's

From hawaii I produce on the AKAI MPC 4000..

Yea Turban music is hot...

I just picked up all my Uncle's old 45's from my Grandma's house...

He's got all these trippy 50s and 60s rock groups with sitar breaks...

Crazy sh*t man...
