City Of Light
The Crunch Recordings concept was conceived in 2005, with “rolling organic sounds” as the template. Founded by MC Verse, the label is an outlet for his own productions as well as collaborations with good friends and fellow artists. To help kick start the label in the right direction, Verse joined forces with Austrian producer D Kay for the first release.
This led to more collaborations with producers such as Keaton ‘White Crow’, BC UK ‘Half Life’, D Bridge ‘Solitudes Weakness’ , Phobia ‘Volatile’ and more recently a solo 12” from the emerging talents of Prolific. Arguably Crunch’s hotest release to date has been Verse’s collaboration with fellow MC, SP on the devastating stepper ‘Surrender’ which harks back to the revered Wormhole days. Sticking to its ethos of providing a deep, rolling organic vibe, and taking its listeners on a musical journey, Crunch is slowly but surely cementing a reputation as a label of the highest quality and consistency. Now, here we are in 2008, MC Verse is on an enforced break from production duties as he is currently the frontman of the world famous rock / D&B band Pendulum, and can also be foiund on mic duties for Pendulum DJ sets alongside El Hornet. This gave him the idea to involve some of the artists that he really feels are shining at the moment and would represent his label to the fullest.
This time Crunch delves deep into the Dutch underground to showcase some of Eindhoven's established and upcoming talents side by side. Icicle, Martyn, Proxima, Nymfo and Mindmapper lend their signature sounds to help craft an album of deep, futuristic rollers – a great representation of the Netherlands scene and Crunch's musical mantra in general. Limited 6 track triple 12-inch and full 12 track CD.
