THE CONCEPT
Extraction is a compilation series that travels the world to showcase emerging and already established electronic music artists. Each compilation provides a platform for a different region to unite music and scene, which allows the artists to grow together as part of the international electronic music community.
THE ORIGINS
The first volume of Extraction was the result of time spent and connections made in Argentina. In recent years, many renowned artists have emerged from this beautiful country. Despite the increased attention they get, there still are many difficulties for local artists trying to get exposure in the international scene. The earliest Extraction compilation, which was released in March 2008 aimed to cast a spotlight on established Argentines, we love, and new artists everybody ought to discover.
Extraction Argentina was a great success, gaining attention and support from all over the world. Now, AIRDROP continues the Extraction series showcasing new exciting communities and artists, setting off in our new home, the United States.
THE PRESENT
From Disco in New York, to House in Chicago, to Techno in Detroit, the United States have been at the forefront of the worldwide dance music scene for almost four decades. While European and Latin American sounds have dominated recent productions, the re-emergence of the stateside underground electronic music scene makes this a perfect time to refocus on the country where it all began.
Economic pressure and mainstream ignorance challenging U.S artists trying to gain wide exposure has pushed many of the finest artists from The States' and labels to go to Europe and Latin America. Nevertheless, today - possibly more than ever - the U.S scene is pushing towards headlining a global revival. With international artists, promoters and label owners settling in cities like New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, Detroit, Seattle, Portland and even Boston, the U.S is growing importance to international electronic music lovers. For Extraction U.S we have carefully compiled this new generation of artists on the rise: Artists who have gained exposure for their exceptional music or performances but whose full potential has not yet been recognized by the international community. In some respects many of these artists shaping their local communities are hidden gems - until now.
