ONE Records X NoWayBack Collaboration
We are really looking forward to our next collaboration with Birmingham's ONE records. Being based in Birmingham it's always great to work with labels that are close to home, so we were really pleased to be approached by label co-owner Adam Shelton.
We've currently got 4 different colour options of the ONE logo T's available - also a black record tote bag (which handily fits 12"s ) There's an option to get a T-shirt and bag package for £29 & all orders include a free post card and ONE sticker.
Check them all out here on the NoWayBack site http://www.nowaybackstore.co.uk/collections/one-records
Born in 2009 in Birmingham, One Records is a label influenced by the many facets of house and techno.
With Adam Shelton (left) and Subb-an at the helm (right), the label is a breeding ground for some of Europe’s hottest talent in the shape of label mainstays John Dimas, Jack Wickham, Alex Arnout and Tristan da Cunha, alongside newer faces Acid Mondays, iO(mulen) and Yamen & EDA.
In addition, the label has featured music by undisputed heavyweights D’Julz, Kris Wadsworth, H Foundation, Point G, Dan Ghenacia, Martin Buttrich, Nail, Matthew Styles and Argy.
Musically, One Records is sculpted for the dance floor, taking its cues from acid house, deep Chicago sounds and mid 90’s US House, also influenced by many a Balearic after party and London’s warehouse scene of the early millennium.
Driven by Subb-an’s experiences of playing alongside many house greats, and Adam’s meticulously curated classic record collection plus a tight party contingent from around the UK and a strong homegrown following the label has many driving forces that influence its every move.
Subb-an’s productions are deep, raw, soul heavy and although always achingly relevant, glance backwards through a long lineage of house masters.
As a DJ, his sets pass between house and deep techno, balancing swing, groove and potent bottom end notes. His killer live set is tinged with techno and more than a few straight dancefloor weapons.
He releases across Crosstown Rebels, Spectral Sound and his own imprint One Records. Appearing regularly for institutions such as Circo Loco, Cocoon, fabric, Panorama Bar and more. He is an artist well and truly in his stride and with so many different aspects to his talent, Subb-an will no doubt continue to blaze an increasingly unique trail.
Adam Shelton has been collecting vinyl for over 20 years and is widely known on the underground scene as a DJ whose dedicated passion, technique and track selection are truly authentic.
Thriving on quality house music from the late 80's to current date the energy and vibe of Adam’s DJ style is influenced by his love for early US and Acid house and inspired by trips to house music meccas such Robert Johnson and Body & Soul NYC. His talents have seen him grace the decks at some of the most influential clubs and parties around the world including Panorama Bar, fabric, Exit Festival, Glastonbury, Space and DC10 in Ibiza, D-Edge, Cocoon and of course, his own truly legendary Below parties.
Taking influence from legends such as Derrick Carter, Larry Heard, Mood II Swing, Masters At Work, Francois K, Gene Hunt, Adonis, Craig Richards and Daft Punk has cemented a raw and retro-funk sound in his sets and ongoing musical journey.
Adam also produces under his S.A.S moniker alongside partner in crime Subb-an, S.A.S focuses on producing monumental re-works of classics their stand out tracks to date have been 'In The Candy Store’, 'Straight of the bone' and ‘House Nation’, there’s no doubt this is a project that will continue to bubble under the surface for all those in the know.
Label parties for ONE records can be seen regularly at a number of institutions including Berlin’s Watergate and London’s fabric nightclub (above), at festivals such as Exit, The Garden festival (below), Secret Garden festival and more.
2015 saw the label celebrate 5 years with a select European club tour and has been a year where the label is to focus on continuing its stake as one of the UK’s most solid record labels.
