LS City Records is to be a label of love.  Set up by DJ and producer Jamie Fisher as a way of having complete control over the music he releases, rather than being at the mercy of various other label bosses, it's an imprint born in Leeds and one which will showcase the city's producing talent.  As someone who has been label manager for other people before, he has good A&R experience, a thorough knowledge of the way things work and a healthy collection of contacts: all these things spurred Jamie into going it alone, the result of which comes in the form of his first release, his Shapes EP'. A chunky slice of tech, it comes with remixes from rising stars Benny Royal and Lissat & Voltaxx.  Says Jamie of LS City's outlook: 'The label is just the outlet and should only have small say in the actual track and final sounds of the master - I don't want to interfere too much, I want people to be able to express themselves and know their music will be put out as they want it to be.' That approach has attracted artists such as Richard Dinsdale and Style of Eye who are pencilled in for releases soon, and is sure to set the label in good stead.  With such value placed on individual expression, then, LS City looks set to be a label which goes its own way, forging ahead in the realms of underground house and techno, so keep your ear out...
