After working for Mike Shiver at Captured Music in Sweden for summer 2008, Sami Saari got an idea to launch a label of his own. Mike got excited about this and suggested that Sami could run a brand new sub label for Captured Music.
In the fall of 2008 Sami recruited Timo Juuti (Syna / Deck Jagger) as A&R for the label. Sami, Timo and Mike worked hard to get the label up and running and November 2008 saw the birth of the label Wicked Recordings.
Some of the artists involved are Sami Saari / The Wicked Kid, Mike Shiver, Timo Juuti (Syna / Deck Jagger), Autoload & Offdate so expect stunning electro- / tech oriented music with the sweet groove of house.
'Crankshaft Boogie' is the sixth Wicked Recordings release, and it is delivered by the label A&R manager, Timo Juuti. Just like in the title, the track combines techy elements to house grooves and creates a very unique atmosphere suitable for many sets.
The remix duties falls to the label owner Sami Saari and to a talented producer behind a newly found disguise, Breakz 4 Cash. Sami Saari picks it up a notch in his remix by introducing the tech riffs to a huge floor destroying house beats while Breakz 4 Cash goes completely haywire in his hip/electro house madness with hoovers and all sorts of crazy stuff. You don't want to miss these.
