Has Subculture left Armada music?

[PegaSus]

Just like Subculture is the Magic Islandlabel by Roger Shah ( indeed) also part of Balck Hole recordings now. Armada is losing 'names and labels' this year. Maybe a strategy.

  @rikkazofficial yes:-)

Cool, I think Roger's label suits Black Hole Recordings perfectly!

True, but I don't think it's still related to Armada. I'm curious what Coldharbour's new parent label will be.

I personally think that coldharbour will be an independent label now, somehow related to Markus new label on SMG called "Audio Cargo". I believe an official announcement regarding this is gonna be done very soon

This sounds very likely indeed, I hope the releases' mastering will turn out better this way.

I hope they'll finally get rid of BP exclusives

I highly doubt it. Beatport is without a doubt the biggest, most popular and most used edm music store. Releasing a release in various stores at the same time divides the purchases between all those stores, while releasing an exclusive on beatport concentrates all the purchases, which gives a track higher possibilities to be on a higher spot on the charts.

Most tracks actually sell more copies on iTunes than they do on BP. And Subculture also got rid of exclusives once they joined black hole

Do you guys think these moves will influence the music of these labels in a good or bad way?

Good, now their songs wont have the BRICKS made by Armada "profesional" mastering team.

I don't think it will be Blackhole. I think it will more likely be Flashover that Coldhabour has moved to. Which means more big room stuff since both Ferry and Markus have that world punx tour thing.

Coldhabour as in the good old prog stuff fits in better with Bonzai IMO. Both Armada, Flashover and Blackhole are terrible choices as labels imo.

Coldharbour on Bonzai? That would be the move of the century
