Owner @ Glasgow Underground and Muzique Tropique were my first two labels set up to release my first love in electronic music, deep house. I did put out a variety of music but they are mainly known for that. Artists signed to Glasgow Underground included Romanthony (vocalist on Daft Punk's One More Time), DJ Q, Mateo & Matos, Powder Productions and Muzique Tropique. In 2006 I set up and managed the Prestel imprint to release more indie/rave influenced music including Dada Life, Cobra Dukes & Das Pop. In 2007 I set up the Box Office label to release disco/edits. With only sporadic releases from 2003-2007 and nothing since then, the renaissance of house music in 2010 prompted the relaunch of the Glasgow Underground imprint starting with Mash's "Somebody's Property" on 14/2/11.
