BEKO

Modern forms of communication, if anything, have allowed the ability to spread awareness like wildfire. Case in point, this morning. Catching up on recent tweets, I noticed a link from Acid House Kings to a little something called Beko Records. I visited the site, downloaded all 25 current digital singles from the label, and began the task of checking them all out. Now I’m writing about it to let you know. And who knows where you’ll take it. So we begin.

There’s a great little label out there, a digital one meaning you can download all releases free of charge. That label is Beko Records and they release a new digital single each Monday.

A concept like this works in today’s world, with the rampant digitizing of practically everything. We can easily hop online, visit a site, and learn about new and exciting bands. It takes the session concept but removes the need for studio equipment and recording devices, yet holds onto the core elements of that idea – apparent exclusivity and introduction. Listening to these singles, as with many labels, a theme begins to emerge in the form of niche genre. The bands create great pop music – indie pop, psychedelic pop, fuzz pop, experimental pop. You know what you’ll get, and if you dig that style of music you’ll dig this label.

So I guess the next step is to further the introduction; provide a few samples. The task is at hand: here are ten bands from the Beko Records collection you should know about. ~ Words from an avid Beko fan

Since all have been said nicely, I decided to draw attention to the label on this blog. All bands are good and needs to be rediscovered. There are some awesome tunes you can find from this wonderful label and it's for free!
