The Standby Records label was founded in 2002 by DJ's Jon Sinclair and Matt Rickard and was born out of their groundbreaking mixes and radio shows for dance music's legendary Ministry Of Sound Radio.
Having presented shows for Ministry of Sound since 2002, the Standby name has been associated with all the biggest names in underground dance music including Sasha, Hernan Cattaneo, Timo Maas, Nick Warren, and many more.
However, the Standby label launched with the goal of discovering new talent and has exceeded all expectations - having released a series of records from debut artists from across Europe including Slytek, Quarrel, Alius & Ezzo and DeeRiVee.
With a growing talent pool and a proven track record for picking out great records and producers, Standby is a label to keep an eye on in 2009.
Made in Poland by one of the best Polish dance production and DJ talents to emerge in the last year. Quarrel has already made a distinctive name for himself through musical application to club progressive house and this is no exception - deep feelgood progressive bliss, crisp percussion and catchy toplines. Another top class artist taking shape on the highly acclaimed Standby label, set for further big things across 2009.
