ourplace

8 min read

Since 1996 Ourplace remains solvent in the collapse of the music industry at large. We enjoy laughter, good times and the company of friends.
By the time we drop the next music, a significant share of you will have already stopped caring.

Ourplace is and always will be our “Go back to” born out of nessesity in 96’ to give people a complete understanding on how important independent DIY ownership is. This apply's to whatever we do in our lifes. We cant fade the norm. Besides releasing underground hiphop since the early ninetees N founded and operates several imprints, including Limited item lovers, Wowflutter and Younger at heart. A few years ago something extraordinary happened. As we got older I realised I always want to control and innovate the flight from the ground up, but never wanted to be a pilot and that seemed largely unchanged since the days of the Akai S1000, HotSyaoshs, Duvel, anxiety and beedies. That’s when it hit me. Ourplace wasn’t just our ourplace anymore. Ourplace is everybody’s place and belonges to the likeminded. Fortunately we tapped into the universal truths of lot’s who now do it themselves. Yes, we are fucked, we are flawed, we are both confused and cocksure, and we simultaneously want anarchy and order. WE ARE LUCKY! We grew up with absolutely no tools to navigate this harsh and crazy world and mostlikely, we’d burn down everything around us in an attempt to figure it out.

The bowl was small, but big enough for us. It was home. A groovy sphere where on most days samples would alight on the turntable with the effort of the hunt. It was safe. No big fish to eat little fish, no currents to sweep away; a couple of litres of studio tranquillity sitting on an old Atari, S1000 and a S1000PB plus Mackie VLZ.

Inside this world we swam around and around. BOBBING TO THE SURFACE TO GULP THE OTHER HIPHOP OUTSIDE THE BOWL.
