Airdrop Records, Agency & Blog

This weekend, Airdrop’s own Paulo will be taking over Paris on Saturday night. Warming things up for Maetrik at Social Club between 00h – 01h30, he will then move on to the much awaited Cracki factory party – where he will play between 03h – 04h30.

Cracki Records is a recently founded label based in Paris, which promotes young local artists by organizing unusual events, using the french capital’s most extraordinary locations. Directions to the factory will be revealed 48 hrs in advance on www.crackirecords.com

Airdrop top artist and Greener label head, Andres Zacco has just released two new records on two top labels – Dario Zenker’s Ilian Tape and Traut Muzik, run by Jonas Kopp.

Both records are already making big waves, as Raresh selected the track ‘Icegrass’ out of ILIAN009, to be featured on his new Green & Blue mixed compilation on Cocoon. TRAUT010 also features a top remix by Conforce.

You can preview and purchase both records here, or buy the digital versions here.
