Raw Fusion Label Sale!
With over 50 records released, Raw Fusion Recordings founder and CEO, "Mad" Mats Karlsson continues to rule the Swedish underground club music scene. Artists such as Freddie Cruger aka Red Astaire, Spiritual South, Simbad, Future Beat Investigators and Povo, keep granting the label life as Raw Fusion releases some of the greatest tunes to come out the studios of these artists. The brainchild of Raw Fusion, Mad Mats, started his path into the future by the way of DJ'ing after leaving his successful days of break dancing behind (Swedish champ 1985!). The Raw Fusion trademark started out as a monthly club night founded by Mats in boogie down Stockholm back in 1996. Since 2002 the musical vision of Mats has grown into a prosperous recording label, dedicated to spreading the future of dance music across the globe. In 2003 Mad Mats created a sub label to Raw Fusion Recordings, it was called Jugglin' Records (named after the Ragga Twins underground hit tune with the same name!) and was intended to have a much more urban sound than the mother label had had so far. Genres like soulful house, cutting edge hip-hop, electronic funk, raw street-soul, dance floor jazz, rough latin and deep Detroit techno boogie are represented. Since day one the catalogue has consisted of various artists who all represent a raw, innovative, urban, street feel, which signifies the music that we love, live and breathe. "In everything we do quality and musical integrity have since day one been our main goal. We're a music company, not a corporation!" - Mad Mats/Traxsource
