Exit Records Presents 'Aptitude'
Details
Exit Records is the product of a life-long love affair with music for Darren White (aka dBridge).
Since it’s inception in 2003, Exit has become renowned for forward-thinking music and setting high standards in production and presentation. The Aptitude series has showcased tracks from amongst the most respected producers in drum & bass including Calibre, Commix, Break and Goldie (in Rufige Kru mode).
In 2008, the label released dBridge's debut LP, "The Gemini Principle," followed in 2009 by LP's from Survival and Consequence and further LPs from Black Pocket (dBridge & Steve Spacek) and Genotype in 2010.
In 2011 Exit continued to move forward with the "Mosaic Vol. 1" compilation (with contributions from Scuba, Skream and Distance among others) and more long-players from Consequence, They Live (Consequence & Joe Seven) and Loxy & Resound.
2012 saw yet another flourish of forward thinking multi genre releases from the most talented artists in Drum and Bass, perhaps most notable were the ground breaking 12"s from Dub Phizix & Skeptical ("Marka") and Fracture feat Dawn Day Night ("Get Busy"), which both propelled the labels profile skyward.
- 2013 marks ‘10 Years of Exit Records’ and the label has plans for a steady stream of high profile releases throughout the year to celebrate the anniversary, including the much anticipated 'Mosaic Vol 2' LP featuring another impressive list of artists.
- Exit Records presents ‘Aptitude’ club nights have become extremely popular with a star studded selection of the scene’s most influential DJ’s operating in and around the edges of 170 BPM electronic music. With highly praised nights and stages across the UK and Europe including Outlook, Dimensions, & Sun and Bass festivals, A Bunch Of Cuts, & a residency at Fabric, the labels lineups have become firm favourites for their unique vibe.
