What is it about corners? Places of chance encounters, moments of uncertainty about what may lay on the other side. Two directions converge and intersect and new directions reveal themselves.

In 2006 a series of coincidences and convergences brought Swiss producer Shaka and Canadian producer Breandan Davey together. Recognizing their convergent personal styles of music and their belief that modern electronic music must take on new directions, they formed an idea of a new label which by 2007 began to take shape, and Corner Records was born.

Corner Records is first and foremost an artist label. It strives to provide a platform for musicians who represent a convergence of musical ideas. Electronic sounds with moving musical structures. Music that is exceptional and timeless, and works to counteract the disposable culture we live in.

As an artist run label, Corner is focused on long-term artist development. With education, tour support, promotion of the artist over the label, and fair compensation agreements, Corner aims to expose our artists to wider audiences, and improve their ability to make a living from their art.

Corner Records first single Smooth Sailing will be in stores on March 28th, 2008. A sexy, funky number by Shaka, taking on a new direction but maintaining his characteristic beautiful sound.
