Tomorrowland Music, the label from Belgian dance mega-festival Tomorrowland, and dance music setlist database 1001 Tracklists have come together for a new label, 1001 Recordings.
Focused on music for clubs and dancefloors, the label’s first release, out July 11, is a mainstage progressive house track called “Take You There” by Dutch duo Sick Individuals, Russian duo Matisse & Sadko and English pair Third Party. On July 18, the label will release the B2U EP, a collaborative bass house project by Dillon Francis and German producer Marten Hørger.
The label will release music from across the broad spectrum of electronic music styles, with a focus on collaborative music during its launch phase. The label will be run out of the Tomorrowland Music office in Antwerp, Belgium, and from Bali, Indonesia.
“For years we’ve kept our finger on the pulse of dance music, and the launch of 1001 Recordings was a natural step to give a bigger spotlight to the artists and music our community already believes in and champions,” 1001 Tracklists CMO Jacob Merlin tells Billboard. “We’re proud to have Tomorrowland Music as a partner in this journey — it’s the perfect representation of the collaborative energy we want to celebrate.”
Tomorrowland Music launched in 2021, with its releases distributed globally by Universal Music Group. Meanwhile, 1001 Tracklists touts itself as the “Wikipedia of dance music,” offering tens of thousands of tracklists from DJ sets around the world going back to the early 1990s. Additionally, the site offers charts based on the amount of unique DJ support for tracks, artists and labels.
