Marine Parade is official back up and running and fully operational. The old Marine Parade had financial problems but the home to some of the best music of recent years is back and hopefully bigger than ever. An official statement from Marine Parade Head honcho Adam Freeland shows he is a passionate as ever about the label and appreciates all the support from fans. The old Marine Parade had to go into liquidation due to a tricky situation with debt collectors of our bankrupt ex distributor 3MV. Its been a traumatic few weeks dealing with the repercussions, it was especially painful timing as it was the week before the supposed release of Evil Nine's debut album.
I would like to offer my sincerest apologies to anybody who the fall may have affected. But I am euphoric to announce that the Evil Nine album 'You can be special too' is being stocked back into the stores as of immediate effect.
The next Evil Nine single 'Crooked' featuring Aesop Rock, with a Bassbin Twins remix on the flip has thus far had a very limited dj promo mailout through Whitenoise in the UK but has proved very popular.
Freeland's debut artist album 'Now & Them' is also being sold back into the stores now, and the new single 'Mind Killer' with mixes from Ils, Jagz Kooner & Origin Unknown will be released in the next 2 weeks.
The new Marine Parade Website will also be up within two weeks whilst fans will be glad to hear that although Adam thought about leaving the label he is as committed as ever to seeing it succeed After the trauma of the last couple of months events, I was over the stress of it all and seriously considered leaving Marine Parade behind me so I could focus on my own creativity. Having a business as well as trying to be an artist /dj has often torn me in what has felt like conflicting directions. But the main two reasons I soon realised I had to do everything I could to relaunch the label as soon as possible is the amazing support I have received from all over the planet. I have been astounded by the amount of good will for what we do out there (thank you SOOOO much for your encouragement, it has meant everything to me) and secondly I just HAD torelease the Evil Nine album 'You can be special too' which is, without doubt, the finest release to have come out of the Parade and I cant describe how proud I am of this record. Its a true masterpiece. So big up the Evils, and big up yourselves.
