Traxsource have shared end-of-year stats for each label and artist on their platform, and it looks like MN2S Label Services clients have had a banner year. Let’s run through the results for five of our top labels…
1. Tropical Disco Records
The venerable Tropical Disco Records are celebrating another successful year at the top of their game, as they continue to release high-charting cuts that consistently capture the attention of the global nu-disco and disco-house scenes. This year, TDR racked up 20 Top 10 positions and an incredible 143 appearances in the Top 100. Tropical Disco tunes hit the Hype Charts 168 times, while featuring in over 1000 DJ Charts. Incredible numbers.
2. Quantize Recordings
One of soulful house’s most celebrated institutions, Quantize is headed up by longtime friend of MN2S DJ Spen, and every single one of their releases – digital and physical – has been distributed by MN2S. Quantize had an incredible 2022, reaching Number 1 on Traxsource with 6 different releases, hitting the Top 10 60 times and breaking into the Top 100 over 300 times.
3. Ocha Records
Formerly a sublabel of Osunlade’s Yoruba Records, Ocha is now a standalone imprint, regularly issuing spiritually-focused house music that seeks to uplift and enlighten. The label’s head, Coflo Ferreira, describes Ocha’s mission as “pushing to the corners of creativity within dance music without losing the spirit of why we set out to release music in the first place.” The label did brilliantly this year, scoring two Number 1 records and 20 appearances in the site-wide Top 10.
