New York DJ and producer Layton Giordani has launched a label in partnership with Armada Music.
The dance label’s first single is set for release in early September.
It follows a series of DJ label partnerships for Armada Music, including Dutch electronic artist Joris Voorn and UK dance dance act SILK.
Madminds is dedicated to supporting up-and-coming artists and releasing music that blurs genre lines.
It’s time to shake things up for electronic music
Layton Giordani
“Teaming up with Armada Music to create Madminds at this moment felt very natural and in sync with where I’m at in my career,” said Layton Giordani. “It feels like the right time to give back and share my story with the world, with a renewed vision and collaborative focus. It’s time to shake things up for electronic music, rising from the very place that raised me.”
Speaking about the New York City base for the label, he added: “New York City is where I first discovered house and techno at 16 years old. I was entrenched in the culture very early on in my career and had the honour of watching the genre’s pioneers shape the music we now love. My first residencies were here, from Pacha NYC to Output Brooklyn, and the city undoubtedly influenced me in every way.”
