1 MAN ARMY RECORDS

1 MAN ARMY RECORDS is an independent record label in Bristol and Bath in the UK, representing a new underground network of electronic music artists.

1 MAN ARMY RECORDS is a catalyst for this new breed of experimental artists, producing hybrid forms of underground dance music and live electronica.



LABEL HISTORY

1 Man Army Records was founded in Bristol in 2001 by Simon1manarmy and THChris and was officially launched at EPOCH on Friday 7th February 2003.

EPOCH was a trilogy of live electronic music events in 2003 that introduced a new generation of cutting-edge electronic music artists and showcased the debut live performances from new electronic music artists including Loz Koleszko, Chemical Dub Theory, Headphobe vs Defazed, and Flooglebinder.

In 2004 Kuantum_Window was launched by Headphobe and Flooglebinder in association with 1 Man Army Records. This was a new series of electronic music nights in Bristol held throughout 2004 and 2005 at venues such as The Arc Bar, The Cube Microplex, Cosies and The Cooler. These events focussed on showcasing the entire roster of artists on 1 Man Army Records and placed a strong emphasis on VJs and the visual accompaniment to the live electronic music.

Plummet was launched in 2004 by Shoutput, Spaghetti Machete, and Michael J Rocks. Plummet focuses on the darker, harder styles of live electronic music and regularly features artists from 1 Man Army Records. These nights were originally held at the Thekla and the Black Swan in Bristol before becoming a monthly night at Timbuk2 in 2006 and 2007.

In June 2006 the 1st ever Laptop Battle UK event was held at The Croft in Bristol, featuring several artists from 1 Man Army Records. The 1st ever Laptop Battle UK champion was Headphobe, who also won the team battles with Defazed at Laptop Battle 3. Laptop Battle has become a regular event in Bristol, has branched out to London, and plans are being made to setup regional battles with a Laptop Battle UK National Final to be held in 2008.
