Relegate Records is the first urban record label
to come out of the southwest with it's new and upcoming
artist's Jay C and Rebelus Maximus. There are a few tracks of
theirs uploaded on myspace which are from their upcoming
debut album's, feel free to tell your friends and add them to
your profile. Reb (aka Jamie Burn) has been on the Plymouth hip
hop scene for a few years now and has performed with such
artist's as Mark B and Blade, he has released various
album's through his own independent release and Relegate
Records has got them all available right here to download.
Jay C is a new comer to the hip hop scene and has gained a
fierce reputation as a freestyler around Torbay but now
he has turned his attention to more serious matters in life
and hopes to express them through his new album. Relegate
Records is owned by Midnight and he is the producer, he has
won a dj competition at level one nightclub, dj'd at the
Torbay youth festival in 2003 and at various party's and
functions. He also deals with promo's,bookings and the
recording and release of all future Relegate Records cd's and
downloads and merchandise.
Relegate Records started out when Midnight was at Deep Blue Sound
Music Tech College where they showed him all about music
technology and sound engineering, Half way through the
course he did a project called "managing an artist"
which was about the day to day life of an artist signed to a
record label. The task was to pretend we were the record label
and explain how we were to promote and market our artist as a
product. This sparked an interest and he soon set about
setting up his own label on a technical level. After
finishing college Midnight began to promote his label working
with various artist's from Plymouth and Torbay. He had
a few gig's in the summer of 2007 getting his beats
heard and still discovering his style, but his big break came
when he decided to officially set up a label through the Princes
Trust in December 2007.
He presented his idea to the panel at Princes Trust and they
liked the idea he had, and in February 2008 midnight
received some money from the Princes Trust and Relegate
Records was born. We hope to spread the word about our label and
get our music out there into the mainstream! JAY C and Reb are
brilliant artist's so check out there tunes and give us
as much feed back as you want. we are already planning some shows
and will be keeping our website up to date with news, tunes and
anything going on in the Relegate world.
