Citric is the brainchild of label boss Noah Becker and former Holosound collaborator Alex Fish. 2009 saw a few very solid releases from label mainstays and the introduction of Deep Cycle's meticulously crafted tech house to the repertoire.
In 2010 and beyond, Citric will be distributed by the esteemed Critical Rhythm team. As well, Citric welcomes the addition of Shane Wheel aka Shane Thomas to the team. Shane has myriad slamming releases out on Tambour/Melodica and Citric is lucky to have partnered with such a bright upcoming US talent. Shane will be conducting all A and R and helping out with operations and of course, lookout for the new collaboration between Shane and Noah in May...it promises to be nothing short of mind blowing.

The first in a series of "lost tapes" from Citric Recordings pits label head Noah Becker against label co-founder Alex Fish (Holosound) in a head to head progressive tech battle where everyone wins out with groovy, glitchy percussion and the smooth musical elements Holosound productions are known for. The original mix is a techy bouncer good for mid to late set pump up factorial, while the re-edit provides a slightly more progressive edge with an additional melodic part and chord progression. Deep Cycle's first release on Citric is a true tech winner, moving methodically through the various elements of the original to create a haunting tech house/ techno masterpiece.
