Quarterlife Records NYC is a New York City-based independent record label. Quarterlife Records focuses on finding, releasing and pushing a distinct spectrum of sounds from the dance music underground - on one end, the pounding beats of tough, gritty in-your-face electro house music... on the other end, the smooth, sophisticated, intelligent polished beats of deep progressive house... and the narrow niche in between.

Quarterlife Records seeks to innovate the genre and challenge listeners with non-formulaic approaches to house music, to provide a platform for emerging artists to be heard, and to serve as a vehicle to propel established artists further up the charts. The common denominator between releases is the quality of production, attention to detail, and adherence to the aesthetic that Quarterlife embodies - the bangin' electro sound of underground New York City that makes 'em throw their hands up.

The label's logo activates the concept: the universal power symbol, tilted to form a "Q", symbolizing the energy that's captured in its edgy music. Aside from its prolific releases, the label also focuses its energy into the parties that it produces or endorses in the New York City club scene and around the world.

Quarterlife Records digital releases can be purchased from the world's finest digital retailers including Beatport, iTunes, eMusic, Dance Tracks Digital, Amazon.com, Rhapsody, Napster, Juno, and so forth. For a full list of retailers, click here.

Quarterlife Records NYC is owned and operated by veteran DJ/producer/remixers DJ EBAR and Alex Pearce.

-// LABEL LAUNCH PARTY //-

(New York, NY) On Tuesday January 29th, the new, cutting-edge record label Quarterlife Records NYC launched at the world-reknowned Cielo nightclub in New York City. Quarterlife Record heads ALEX PEARCE and DJ EBAR will be DJ'd all night. The night was an installment of NYC mega-promoters Rob Fernandez and Benny Soto's popular Dance.Here.Now parties at Cielo and was sponsored by Remix Magazine and IODA Digital Alliance. Quarterlife Records is a New York City-based record label focused on finding, releasing and pushing a wide array of sounds from the dance music world, all with an edgy and raw style true to the NYC underground. With its promo releases the label has already garnered worldwide attention from industry heads and the label is sure to make a significant impact in '08.

Quarterlife's first release is Indicant's self-titled single "Indicant," which launches worldwide on January 29th. Indicant is a gleaming, polished slice of underground tech/electro house heaven. The Hub Mix is a booming main-floor number with a bouncy cone-shaking bassline and bending 80's-style synth chords. A chopped-up hiphop vocal sample creates a tight background groove along with a peak-hour electricfied arpeggio. The Rub Mix is a shuffling experimental tech-house piece with strange dueling basslines syncopated off of each other on top of a thundering vintage kickdrum and clattering percussive elements. Digweed protege Royal Sapien is on bloodbath duty with his Butchered Remix, a machine-gun of big breakbeat drums and dark bass elements interspersed with his signature progressive elements.
