Platipus Records
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Platipus Records is a popular, long-running trance music record label based in London, UK. The early releases were almost exclusively limited to the label-co-owner Simon Berry and his various projects, including Union Jack, Clanger, Poltergeist and Art of Trance. Later the label included artists like Terra Ferma, Salamander and Quietman.
Their most famous releases are the hit "Anomaly (Calling Your Name)" by BT and DJ Taylor, "Red Herring" and "Two Full Moons and a Trout" by Union Jack, and "Air" by Albion. Due to the success of "Calling Your Name" and "Madagascar" by Art of Trance in 1999, the label started to take on a more trance style, in stark contrast to their early releases of psychedelic and acid trance. They also featured many releases from Pob.
Since then, sub-labels and Gekko and Platipus Euro have been established, showcasing more progressive and uplifting styles respectively. Artists featured on Platipus Euro, include Neo & Farina and RAH.
