New label Modern Sky UK, sister company to Modern Sky Beijing has just been born, to celebrate, they will launch with a limited edition 10” vinyl sampler on a range of different coloured sleeves. Linking to their Chinese parent company Modern Sky Entertainment the colours are inspired by the colours of the Chinese elements. The script on the front of the sleeve is also written in braille, and symbolises leading the blind into the light. This will be the premiere offering paving the way for a string of ferociously Northern signings. The release follows a busy opening to 2017 for the Liverpool-based independent record label that has a growing roster of art-driven artists.
David Pichilingi, CEO of Modern Sky UK states: “The ethos of our label is to bring back a strong sense of love, passion and deeply sarcastic humour into everything we do. From the music through to the typography. In a world of mediocrity we want to be a beacon for the right kind of artists and bands.”
Their label sampler record, ‘The Future Influences The Present Just As Much As The Past’, echoes the previously stated Modern Sky ethos about bringing together artists who are driven and passionate about their art and music and spreading this art to audiences equally as passionate. The sampler features a string of bold Northern signings with Catholic Action, Fuss, Pixey, and Violet Youth. Check out Catholic Action’s track from the sampler above, and keep an eye out for the record on the Modern Sky UK’s official pages.
