coming soon... really

During early 2002, feeling the heat of the R.A.V.E. Act and seeing what it was doing to the underground electronic music community, we decided to try and help in some small way instead of just complain. I went to a screening of "Rise, The Story Of Rave Outlaw Disco Donnie", a small independent documentary chronicling a day in the life of the New Orleans underground and the now infamous promoter, Disco Donnie. At the time Donnie had just emerged from a long and expensive lawsuit with the U.S. Government. We released the soundtrack to "Rise" and donated the proceeds in an effort to help pay some of his legal fees and Utensil Recordings was born.

Utensil has evolved over the last few years and releases mainly artist singles on vinyl and digital downloads. Our musical focus is the underground dance floor. Be it house, techno, min-tech or electro whatever, as long as it's forward thinking and booty shaking.
