Founded in 2011 by Belgian DJ and producer Madloch, Sound Avenue is an electronic music label that stands for quality and originality. Borderless in vision, the Belgian imprint has forged a path to multiple musical dimensions. Blurring the boundaries between house and techno, it’s a platform for anyone with an open mind and ears. Having built early momentum on a global scale, the label hosted events across Europe, North Amercia, Argentina and their home country of Belgium. These uniquely branded club nights featured some of the labels core artists (at the time) including Agustin Basulto (Desglose), Beat Syndrome, Luis Junior, Matias Vila, Nicolas Rada and Sound Process. It set in motion what has been a unique course to musical freedom, pioneering various sonic blueprints over the course of ten years, while maintaining a strong bond between its loyal and ever expanding fanbase.
Originally intended to be a stand alone platform, as Sound Avenue experienced unprecedented growth its musical horizons expanded, eventually paving the way for two label subsidiaries in 3rd Avenue and Crossfade Sounds. The former drew influence from Sound Avenue’s early beginnings, showcasing the best in melodic house while the latter dove into the realms of deeper, dubby house and laid back modern techno.
Now over one hundred-sixty releases into their journey, Sound Avenue has continued to flourish through precision, care and well thought out A&R choices. It’s this attention to detail that has allowed the label to work with some of electronic music’s most esteemed artists, such as about : river, Arina Mur, Beije, Berni Turletti, Budakid & Nordfold, Charles Webster, Cosmic Cowboys, Dmitry Molosh, Eelke Kleijn, Eric Lune, Forty Cats, GMJ, Hernan Cattaneo & Soundexile, James Teej, Jamie Stevens, Jayden Klight, Jean Caillou, Joe Miller, Mariner + Domingo, Martin Roth, Nhar, Pablo Bolivar, Pedro Capelossi, Petar Dundov, Powel, Santiago Garcia, Stelios Vassiloudis, Superl

When we started Zebra Rec., we never thought that it would reach so many people in just a few years and become the chosen home for releases of such great acts. But it did and we’re happy and grateful to now be able to consider as family all of you, fans, listeners, DJs and producers that were and are a part of the Zebra history.
Our main focus at Zebra Rec. has been until now on underground electronic music, mainly rominimal, minimal, micro-house and experimental club music. Rominimal is perhaps the closest to us because it felt like home: Zebra Club was the place where Raresh, Vid, Barac, Vincentiulian, Georgiana Lucaci, Zotist, Dubtil, Sebastian Eric and many other genre defining artists started as resident DJs, to later developing their careers into what they are today.
As we have grown over the last 25 years, we want the same for Zebra Rec. and our community. The spectrum of electronic music is far too large to stay in one place, so we’re set on wandering and discovering, further experimenting, reaching new milestones, meeting and collaborating with new producers and getting to work even closer with the artists already on our roster.
To avoid falling into the trap of conformism, we’ll continue to keep an open mind and open ears. From now on we will adhere to no specific rule for selecting future musical projects, other than them sounding great and being to our and hopefully to your liking. No rules regarding the place where the artists that join our family come from, none for their chosen subgenre of electronic music. Anything is possible because we like electronic music as a movement in its entirety, from the heaviest, darkest sounds to what some might call now main stream. All that matters to us is the quality and integrity of the music we release, to amplify the story behind the creative process and to help our artists reach their goals.
