Skull Disco was an independent dubstep record label, based in Bristol.〔https://bleep.com/stream/Bleep's%20Guide%20To%20Bristol%20Soundsystems〕 It was established in 2005 by Sam Shackleton and Laurie "Appleblim" Osborne, and ended in 2008. Releases on the label prominently featured African and post-African percussion, as well as "ethnic" samples. Zeke Clough contributed distinctive artwork for the label, drawing on both Egyptology and heavy metal imagery. ==History== In 2004, prior to the founding of the label, Ian Hicks of Mordant Music liked and released an early Shackleton track entitled "Stalker". The track later appeared on Rough Trade Records ''Best of 2004'' compilation. Around this time, Shackleton was becoming more familiar with the dubstep sound, through regular visits to the ''Forward>>'' nights run by Ammunition Promotions. He especially identified with the sound later associated with the DMZ nightclub, citing Loefah's ''Horror Show'' and Digital Mystikz ''Conference'' as key early influences, and started thinking about forming a label to release similar ''"interesting bass music"'' and ''"interesting percussive stuff"''. On a visit to a similarly-minded night in Bath, Shackleton encountered Laurie 'Appleblim' Osborne. Shackleton was impressed with a track, ''Mystikal Warrior'', and it hence appeared on the first Skull Disco release; a double A-side, with Shackleton's ''I Am Animal'' on the flipside.〔 Shortly after, Shackleton began the (now defunct) Skull Disco nights in London. Attendees at the first Skull Disco night included Coki and Mala of Digital Mystikz.〔 In November 2007, Appleblim established a sublabel, Applepips. In 2008, Appleblim was chosen to mix the sixth installment of the ''Dubstep Allstars'' series on Tempa, which was released on 3 June 2008. Later in 2008, Shackleton and Appleblim said goodbye to the label () after ten releases (), a number which Appleblim said "felt right"(). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Skull Disco」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
