HELLO GOOD PEOPLE
WHAT: I am creating an archive of all Minnesota 'underground' dance music artists, past and present. The full archive will be available at
www.pluralisticrecords.com/mnbiz.
WHY: I think MN, despite the lack of gigs and funds, has one of the most unique and historic dance scenes in the world. When I travel, people know who we are. They recognize many of the names, the iconic dance spots/parties, and the Twin Cities infamous RAVE scene in the 90s. I'm PROUD to be from Minneapolis. I have, for a long time, wanted to create an archive of it all...so that's what I'm doing. I hope you'd like to join.
WHO: Any MN DJ/producer. However, I will review all incoming names to make sure we're not overpopulating the site with bedroom DJs. I am asking that you have at least played a number of gigs in the State. OG's (rave era) will get special notification, as well as those who have music available globally.
HOW: For now, I'm hosting this on my label's website. If it grows, gets used, etc., I will consider moving it to it's own domain. The archive will be simple (but visually cool). It will include (1) artist name, (2) artist image, (3) artist labels/affiliations, (4) short bio, (5) links to artist's work. Fill out the form below. We'll go from there!
