“Get Into The Loop Vol. 1” "Playloop is going to put Philadelphia back on the map" King Britt – December 2006 VARIOUS ARTISTS
“Get Into The Loop Vol. 1”
May 8, 2007
Playloop Records Philadelphia’s Playloop records are onto something big. The label has already drawn the praise of top DJs including King Britt, Josh Wink and Carl Cox, and its tracks are consistently among the most popular selling on a number of online download destinations. Soon to be available for the first time on one disc, Playloop will pull together its hottest tracks for debut label compilation, “Get Into The Loop Vol. 1” Soon after listening to “Get Into The Loop Vol. 1” for the first time you’ll notice something very special about the label – diversity in sound and style. Whereas many labels make their mark for releasing music with a certain vibe, Playloop represents the many flavors of electronic and dance music. Kezner starts of the album with two downtempo tripped-out rocktronica gems “Assimilated” and the grand “If The Sun Sets.” These two tracks will get your head nodding and set a perfect intro for the clubbier tracks to follow. Playloop CEO Justin Paul provides a slow and smooth transition to the dancefloor with his hazy “Deeper Submergence,” while Microstar follows with some deeper house on “Virtual Voltage” and “500 Degrees.” Justin Paul then ups the ante with minimal techno beats on “Red Shift” and the jolting electro/pop of “There’s A Reason” featuring the vocals of Sapphirecut. Next, popular American DJ/Producer Nigel Richards enters the fold and builds on the electro theme with his acidic, 303 filled techno track, “Acid Reflux.” The Tattoo Detectives and DJ Everyday keep the techno flowing with a number of tracks before Locality closes things out with the epic “One Foot On The Moon.” Playloop Records is drawing praise from DJs, producers and music fans around the world for the tracks you’ll find on “Get Into The Loop Volume 1.” Carl Cox recently featured Justin Paul’s "Red Shift" on his Global Sessions Radio Show and Josh Wink says he "really digs" the songs "Data Entry and "Red Shift." Playloop recording artist Tattoo Detectives have also been grabbing the attention of Carl Cox on a regular basis. Their track "Il Salto Fouri" was featured at number 3 on his top ten chart for November 2006 and “ETC.” was featured on Cox’s “Carl Cox At Space Ibiza” compilation. Germany’s Microstar is seeing some prime action too, as his "Virtual Voltage EP" has been all over Beatport's deep house download chart. Justin Paul & DJ Everyday rounds it out with “Dark Matter” and “Cold Night” (#1 and #6 on DanceTracksDigital.com for the first week of December.) As we move deeper into 2007, Playloop will release a steady flow of digital 12-inches and LPs from their talented artist roster. Future releases include Tattoo Detectives "The Jump Off Remixes" EP (Digital only) and "il salto fouri" Remix EP (featuring mixes from Justin Paul, Locality and Kezner), Tattoo Detectives full length album (summer release, digital album with bonus continuous DJ mix) Microstar full length album (summer release, CD and Digital Album) and "Get Into the Loop Vol. 2" (September 3 release).

Bonus Continuous DJ Mix of "Get Into the Loop" by Justin Paul Executive Producer: Justin Paul ABOUT PLAYLOOP RECORDS “Playloop” began as a party promotion company in the early 90s when Justin Paul and Steve Waller booked King Britt, DJ Dozia and other big name DJs to play in Huntington, West Virginia near the Marshall University campus. Because West Virginia is a region of the U.S. known for coal mining and football, Playloop provided the only vehicle for entertaining and educating the crowds with some house music 101. “We were entertaining and educating students and locals to music they couldn't hear on MTV or VH1 and they loved it! We had lines of people around the block in this college town in West Virginia which is 100s of miles away from a major city," Paul says. After a successful run as a promotion company, Playloop became an official record label in June 2006. Playloop’s Justin Paul is much more than an artist and CEO of Playloop. He is an acclaimed director and producer whose overseen music videos for eclectic artists The Nova Dream Sequence and King Britt Presents Sylk130. The music video Justin Paul directed for King Britt and Sylk130 aired on MTV Tokyo, Much Music Canada and Austrian TV; while his video for The Nova Dream Sequence was used to demo the Motorola iTunes phone at the 2005 Winter Music Conference. Justin Paul also directed the short film Night At The Apollo for the 48 Film Festival which was featured as part of the 2005 Philadelphia Film Festival. Recently Justin Paul & Jake Young directed and created the animated music video for Justin Paul’s track “Data Entry”.
