BACKFLIP - CHRIS COWIE - MOOTANT DEBUT RELEASE

BACKFLIP - CHRIS COWIE - RELEASED 31/05/2021

New Tech House label Mootant releases its debut courtesy of founder and producer Chris Cowie. Producing music for over two decades culminating in over 200 hundred commercial releases. He's also responsible for the seminal and influential Bellboy Records and Hook Recordings. Soon after their launch in the early '90s, the labels sound became widely respected and often imitated due to Cowie's sound weaving through 90% of the label's output. His records would be found in the record boxes of most premier DJ's of the era, including Carl Cox, Paul Oakenfold, Dave Clarke and Jeff Mills. One notable supporter was Legendary BBC Radio One DJ John Peel, who played many cowie tracks from the Bellboy label on his show. It was considered an honour if Peel played one of your records.

Whilst Bellboy was blowing up dance floors across the globe, so was its sibling, Hook. Its sound was a staple of the worlds top club and radio DJ's of the Trance genre, but due to the Cowie twist on the sound, releases could just as easily be found in the record boxes of Progressive and Tech House DJ's. Hook could be credited with helping fuel California's 1997 fledgeling Trance scene. The label found a fanbase in LA via epic dance floor supremo 'Neuro' from X Cabs, one of Cowie's many pseudonyms. This led to collaborating with LA DJ Christopher Lawrence, establishing the label's influence on the early Californian EDM scene.

Fast forward a couple of decades, Cowie launches the Mootant Record label. Mootants sound will lean toward Tech House and give the nod to the techier side of Deep House and Melodic Techno. The brand will be the vehicle for most of Cowie's releases but not limited to, and there are plans to bring in the talents of other artists. Understanding the impact of
visual media in music promotion, all releases will be accompanied by custom-created videos. Keeping up with cutting edge tech, Cowie has also entered the NFT space via the Mootant brand creating experimental audio/visual art. There are also plans to develop Mootant NFT's as
unique one-off remixes and label artwork collectors cards.
