CAPP Records’ Blog

Yesterday, we sent out the following release to the media and key industry contacts:

San Francisco-based CAPP Records, along with its partner label, Germany’s Mental Madness Records, is shaking-up the US dance music scene again in 2008 with several compilation and single releases slated, featuring its premier compilation, Bounce!

Bounce!, available at iTunes and CAPP’s own Second Life digital store, features numerous strong tracks that push the envelope of dance music. The album’s first single, Andrew Spencer & The Vamprockerz’ global club smash Zombie, continues to climb dance charts with its rock-edged groove of the song made famous by The Cranberries. CAPP’s own Rikah shines with the original Everything is Changing, while DJ Analyzer vs. D-JMC offer a strong redux of Pat Benetar’s famous We Belong.

What makes CAPP’s releases so compelling is the availability of numerous remixes that span global dance styles. From hard-edged, Euro-infused “hands-up” style mixes popular with today’s youth, to more US mainstream friendly house mixes, the songs open dance to new audiences and satisfies dance music fans of all ages.

CAPP’s most recent compilation release, 50 Techno Electro Tunes (available on iTunes, and currently the top #5 iTunes dance album in the US), even embraces the latest craze among Dutch & German kids. Called “jumpstyle,” this new dance sub-genre is edgy, thumpy, and evokes a funky, updated dancing combination of kicking forwards and backwards both legs on the basslines, even certain sub-genres of Jumpstyle moves have been embraced (hardjump, freestyle, duojump and tekstyle/starstyle).

Also on-tap this year with CAPP Records is another single release from Rikah, the rich and tasty Out of Time, as well as a re-release for 2008 of European super-DJ Rob Mayth’s Barbie Girl, a cover of the song originally from Aqua.

Stay tuned for more surprises coming this year from CAPP Records. For more information, visit www.capprecords.com.
