VISIONQUEST LABEL INFO
It’s commonplace in the life of a young Native American, to undertake a very definite turning point in his life as he approaches puberty. In order to define the young man’s spiritual path, a period of fasting and solitary physical and mental exploration will commence. This usually manifests itself with the young man going into the wilderness for a number of days, often under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs.
Otherwise known as a Visionquest, his path forward into the unknown heralds a distinct rite of passage for the young man in question. The hope is the spiritual direction in life will appear to the child at some point during his Visionquest. The sensory deprivation involved and the intensity of the experience, it is hoped, will resonate with the fledgling boy as he moves into full adulthood.
Friends frequently go on vision quests together. Name any of the leading purveyors of modern music and I bet at some point during their lives there have been epiphanies (medicated or otherwise) that have informed and reinforced their creativity. Four such friends are Seth Troxler, Ryan Crosson, Shaun Reeves and Lee Curtiss. Having grown up together in techno birthplace, Detroit, a city of exceptionally rich musical heritage, they represent the freshest wave of new producers to emerge from this dance music heartland in a decade. Informed by their city’s techno heritage from the likes of Juan Atkins and Jeff Mills, but influenced by the emotive house music sounds of Kenny Dixon Jnr and Theo Parrish, they were organising parties in Lee’s basement at an early age.
At the start of 2011 they launched their much-vaunted Visionquest record label. Reflecting their outlook… diverse, and free from the constraints of genre-specifics, the record label is a home for friends, newcomers and established artists alike and one of the most talked about imprints of recent times (coming seventh in Resident Advisor’s top twenty dance labels of 2011). Focusing not only on the quality of the music, but on the whole art of music delivery that goes with it, Visionquest represents quality in every facet of its output. A series of key artists and graphic designers including most recently Tom Cook, who did all of the early artwork for fabric in London, have produced the highly collectable art inserts that are included in each of the label's twenty plus releases, which, alongside heavyweight vinyl and packaging that incorporates metallic printing, screams quality and longevity.
The imprint founded by Seth Troxler, Lee Curtiss, Ryan Crosson and Shaun Reeves put out its first release from Franco-American duo Benoit & Sergio in January 2011 with the seminal ‘Where The Freaks Have No Name’ EP. This featuring the ubiquitous hit ‘Walk & Talk’, which quickly became one of the key underground hits of the year. This was followed by a pair of releases by Visionquest discoveries Montreal’s Footprintz and Milan’s Tale Of Us. Right from the off, the label was championing genre-spanning quality electronica created by a close-knit family of artists. The label followed up the success of ‘Walk and Talk’ with further underground smash hits in the form of ‘Falling’ by (then little-known) Maceo Plex, and ‘Morgana’ by Tale of Us/ Since then a myriad of artists have contributed to the label's output from Dinky and Mirko Loco to Brett Johnson, UNER, Guy Gerber and Butch. Each one of these fully represents the Visionquest ethos in their own individual way, encompassing the crew's collective notion of being open-minded and allowing their hearts to guide them. From the brooding menace of ‘Step Aside (Lightweight)’ by Life & Death and Thugfucker to the ethereal beauty of Butch's ‘Medusa’, Brett Johnson's anthemic ‘Move Power’ and the off-kilter ‘Warehouse Fool’ by Visionquest discoveries Matthew Burton and Kate Rathod, the four has never been scared to take exciting chances with their A&R choices.
The label launched officially at WMC in Miami, taking over the pool area at the Shelborne Hotel on South Beach, heralding a new phase in the genesis of the Visionquest project and introducing acts such as Footprintz and Tale Of Us to the world stage. Since then the label has hosted showcases at clubs and festivals as far reaching DEMF (Detroit), Watergate (Berlin), Womb (Tokyo), Cityfox (Zurich), Goa (Rome), Trouw (Amsterdam), and Burning Man (Blackrock City) and has been invited to mount takeovers of some of the world's most revered clubs, including fabric in London and DC10 in Ibiza. At DC10 they performed their most adventurous party to date, transforming the infamous Ibizan venue inside-and-out, creating an interactive David Lynch-inspired world for their fans to lose themselves in.
