Brooklyn, United States
Statra Recordings is the well-respected independent record label founded by Brooklyn native Dave Tomaselli back in April of 1999 with a simple mission: focus on quality over quantity, and never be bound to any one genre.
The label quickly set the benchmark for quality electronic music in the US with its unconventional A&R style and the infamous compilation series Harry The Bastard Presents - Club H. A succession of innovative and highly coveted albums and singles from artists like Jeff Sharel, Denver McCarthy, Charles Webster, Mr. Velcro Fastener, and the 2000 label compilation Statras Paradigm Shift quickly propelled Statra onto the international stage. The labels releases were often referred to as timeless, future classic, and even brilliant, gaining notoriety from fanzines to NPR, and support internationally from DJ's across of every genre of dance and electronic music.
