Tilt-Recordings is a vinyl + digital label for technoid
Drum & Bass.
since
TILT003 in late 2005,
there has been a more specific musical goal for the vinyl releases: to combine
percussive Techno-DNB and midrange-driven Neurofunk on every record,
one style at each side and every tune a DJ tool for the dancefloor.
in 2008 an additional series of digital only releases
(
T-Files) was started,
with a smimilar musical focus as the vinyl releases but more flexible and open to guest artists.
since 2005 there is also the sisterlabel
"
T-FREE";
a free mp3 netlabel, again with a similar musical approach but much more open and flexible.
Tilt-Recordings is based in Mannheim, Germany. it had originally been started by
DJ Hektik,
Bad Boy Kaiza and
Budoka in 2003;
after a transition period of two years, the label has practically been maintained by
DJ Hektik alone since late 2005.
as for design, the original aim was to apply a DOS-orientated style and
in fact DOS syntax to the writing on the records, info sheets, website etc.
later, this strict approach shifted towards a more neutral one
on the records and eventually the DOS syntax was abandoned directly on the records since
TILT007.
