Full Cycle Recordings was a record label based in Bristol, England specialising in drum and bass. The label was a sister label of V Recordings and is owned and run by Daniel Kausman (DJ Die), Paul Southey (DJ Suv), Keith Thompson (DJ Krust) and Ryan Williams (Roni Size). Their first release was in 1993.
The Full Cycle camp is almost directly synonymous with drum'n'bass's "Bristol sound", both being primarily associated with Roni Size, DJ Die, DJ Suv and DJ Krust. This quartet formed half of the Mercury Music Prize winning band Reprazent. Reprazent vocalist Dynamite MC is also associated with the label. Over the years, the label has also released other artists, such as Surge, DJ Clipz and Tali.
Famous quotes containing the words full, cycle and/or recordings:
“There comes a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The cycle of the machine is now coming to an end. Man has learned much in the hard discipline and the shrewd, unflinching grasp of practical possibilities that the machine has provided in the last three centuries: but we can no more continue to live in the world of the machine than we could live successfully on the barren surface of the moon.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
“All radio is dead. Which means that these tape recordings I’m making are for the sake of future history. If any.”
—Barré Lyndon (1896–1972)
