Fina Records
Established in 2011, FINA has become one of the most essential and respected house imprints of it’s time, counting electronic luminaries such as Move D, Leif, Takuya Matsumoto, Cottam and Francis Inferno Orchestra as part of it’s artistic family.
While FINA undeniably releases a wide variety of music, there is a common thread that connects each release; a rich vein of funk and soul that lies at the heart of the label. More musical than your average house records, recent releases in the manner of Rick Wade ‘Sweet Life’, Powel’s ‘Cloud City’ and Borrowed Identity’s ‘Bang Bang Boogie EP’ have taken the label in an ever-more considered direction, the slowing tempos and intricate melodies of these records belying FINA’s absolute indifference to following the bassline-focussed bandwagon-jumping of many of its contemporaries.
December 2014 marked the launch of FINA White, FINA Records’ breakout channel dedicated to the release of pure and unadulterated peak time bangers whilst staying true to the caliber of artists and quality of music FINA Records prides itself on promoting. Raw, stripped-back house and techno with no frills is high on the agenda, its focus on a totally different sound to its more subtly experimental and genre-hopping sibling.
