2. Profilic Recording:

Profilic Recoding is based in Leicester. They will be some new audio during the course of this year and can be followed up on We Media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Myspace for up-to-date news and goings on. The selection of garage beats available is said to 'keep underground dancefloors bumping until the early hours'. Here are different beats that Profilic Recoding provide:
- The Volcano Riddim kicks things off with dramatic strings and a speaker rattling bassline.
- The Thekla Riddim goes down a wobbly, almost techy route whilst The Flux Riddim sees more strings and thumping bass take the boom factor up to 11.
- The Phoenix Riddim closes the EP in style with a rising, jumping bass workout.

Profilic Recording is a very popular record label, with over 80’000 combined hits on youtube and while in clubs there’s been continued support from dubstep’s biggest names including Skream, Benga and Toddla T, that underground momentum has now developed into Radio 1 plays from Zane Lowe, Annie Mac and Fabio and Grooverider.

3. Polydor
Polydor Records is a British record label owned by Universal Music Group and is currently headquartered in the UK.Polydor Records was originally an independent branch of the Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft. It was first used, as an export label, in 1924.
