Margin is pleased to welcome Freshly Squeezed Music who will be providing the juicy Summer sounds of the August 2010 exhibition, as well as a limited-edition CD exclusively for visiting buyers and press featuring tracks from their great roster of artists +
Freshly Squeezed Music is a Brighton-based, UK independent record label and publisher.
Evolved from the seminal London club night, Club Montepulciano that ran for over 11 years (and was described as a “clubland institution” by the Evening Standard and as one of the “things you have to do before you can call yourself a real Londoner” by Time Out). Having pioneered the emerging Lounge, Cabaret and Burlesque scenes through out the 90s, when the sound and style went mainstream, setting up a label seemed an obvious step.
Featuring the best contemporary lounge music from a collection of forward-looking international artists, the label also released the debut album from the clubs resident DJ, Lemon.
In 2005, when the club retired (while still going strong) Freshly Squeezed was created to broaden the roster while releasing a second artist album from Lemon and music from The Voodoo Trombone Quartet, The Pinker Tones and Foxglov.
With eclectic and excitingly individual artists such as Don Air, Dodo, Stereo De Luxe, Lodekka and more now putting material out on the label, and “landmark” (Mixmag) compilations like White Mink : Black Cotton, indie-chart success, an MTV Dance top ten, the Eclectrik label sampler nominated one of the “best records of the year” (Bearded Magazine), Freshly Squeezed continues to find fresh, quirky and original new music that is both underground but accessible. “Future cult classics” said The Independent.
In addition, after a run of high-profile synch licensing successes, 2007 saw the launch of a sister publishing company. During the first year, their music accompanied several major Hollywood films (including Knocked Up and The Heartbreak Kid), sound-tracked numerous TV shows, most notably Ugly Betty (many times over), became an MTV theme tune, and appeared in many house-hold name ads. Tracks have also appeared in games like LittleBIGplanet on the SONY PlayStation…
So if you think you havent heard the music of Freshly Squeezed, think again.

Margin is pleased to welcome Catskills Records who will be providing the sounds of the February 2010 exhibition, as well as a limited-edition CD exclusively for visiting buyers and press featuring tracks from their great roster of artists +If you think you don’t know the output of fiercely independent Catskills Records, then think again. With a slice of infectious breakbeat funk, label-signing Feature Cast invigorated an Apple iPod TV ad, and Pepe Deluxe sound-tracked Levi’s biggest and most successful advertising campaign to date. +
Independent label Catskills Records was formed in 1996 by a London / Brighton collective to release underground talent from their home turf. The label represents the best that both scenes have to offer, and has since spread it’s wings to other parts of the UK with Bushy, Zero Theory, Sonorous Star, Nylon Rhythm Machine, Black Grass, Vibra and now to Europe and the rest of the world with the signings of Pepe Deluxe and Husky Rescue from Finland and Capsule from Germany +
There is no particular formula, no particular style and no particular genre of music that represents Catskills; it’s all about the Head Nod Factor: if it’s got it then they’ll spin it +
Catskills is run by people involved at every stage of the game, DJ’s, producers, and designers, with the emphasis always on experimentation, artistic freedom and artist diversity +

Margin is pleased to welcome London-based label Japapeno Records who will be providing the soundtrack to the August 2009 edition of the upscale streetwear & directional tailoring tradeshow +Jalapeno Records have long been purveyors of all thing eclectic in the world of dance: from funk to lounge, breakbeat to house, the label has no respect for boundaries or genre; the only prerequisite is, of course, quality. Sharp label signings are leading the way which keeps Jalapeno Records on the cutting edge of nu-funk, mixing the best of classic funk & soul with innovative club productions +
Jalapeno Records may be based in London but their international signings provide a fully rounded diversity as rewarding as it is varied. From Israeli turntablists Radio Trip to the future funk of Dutch outfit Kraak & Smaak; from the smooth club grooves of Belgian D’Stephanie to the organic breakbeats by USA’s All Good Funk Alliance: Jalapeno’s global ear stretches far and wide to complement their exceptional homegrown talent including fresh funksters Soopasoul, modern northern-soul from Smoove & Turrell, the DJ wizardry of Dr. Rubberfunk, the lounge funk of Skeewiff, amongst many other progressive musicians +
As well as providing the summer sounds during the trade exhibition, tracks from the back, current and future catalogue by the great roster of artists at Jalapeno Records will feature on a limited-edition Margin CD exclusively for visitors to the Margin London exhibition taking place on the 2nd & 3rd of August 2009 +

NUBLU
Margin London was pleased to welcome the sounds of New York Club and Record Label Nublu who provided the soundtrack to the February 2008 edition.
As well as providing the backing soundtrack to the show, Nublu provided a limited-edition Margin CD exclusively for Margin visitors featuring new tracks from their stable of artists.
When people ask about the Nublu sound, Ilhan Ersahin, the bandleader and owner/founder of Nublu keeps the answer simple: “We play music.”
To explain a little more, though, the Nublu sound is a unique blend of elements that could only have been conjured up in the true melting pot of the world, New York City. It started off three years ago at 62 Avenue C with Ilhan and his friends—some from Brazil, some from Eastern Europe, some from the UK, and some from the US. They would just come together and jam, their improvisations developing into compositions that grew out of all their influences, shared and individual: the soul of New Orleans, the rhythms of Sao Paolo, the edge of Bristol, the dub of Kingston, and the beats of DJs from across the globe. Eventually those jams became songs, and those momentary combinations of musicians became bands, bands like Kudu, The Brazilian Girls, Wax Poetic, Forro in the Dark, and Love Trio. All representing different moments in time and different sounds, but a similar ideal.
Nublu, the club and the record label, is not about a genre. It’s not about a type of person. It’s not even necessarily about music. Nublu is about right now.
