Having been founded in 2013, Australian electronic label Plastic World have quickly gone about establishing themselves as one of the best up and coming record labels in the country, signing stellar young artists like GL, Retiree and Cassius Select among many others. To showcase some of the best in Australian music Plastic World will be releasing their very first compilation tape, Volume 1, featuring 16 unreleased tracks from a huge array of artists.
Plastic World’s most recent signees in The Possé were the first artist to reveal their track for the compilation with MS-DOS, with the rest of Volume 1 featuring names like Sampa The Great, Silent Jay & Jace XL, Vulture St Tape Gang, Spvrs, Tim Shiel and so many others. Each artist brings their own unique sound and flavour to a compilation that should provide a wonderful snapshot of a very healthy underground scene in Australia.
Of Volume 1, Plastic World founders James McInnes (formerly of Future Classic) and Vic Edirisinghe (of Astral People) explain, ‘We hope to help those that inspire us day to day by giving them a platform to showcase their music on a greater scale – this is the true fundamentals of Plastic World.’
You can get your hands on Volume 1 when it is released August 18th.
