Today is Friday, #fridayspecial day, and today's special is all about a record label. This record label has become an essential landmark in electronic music from day one, shaping and shaking things up.
Losbster theremin, established in London in 2013 by James Asquith, soon became one of London's most prominent electronic music labels.
From ambient to raw techno and electro Lobster Theremin catalog is full of modern classics.
The first Lobster Theremin output to the world was the well-known Palms Trax - Equation EP, a brilliant debut by the way.
Lobster Theremin founder Jimmy Asquith is a patient man. Although he's wanted to run a record label for years, he waited for the right moment to launch it. The time came about two years ago, when Berlin-based producer Palms Trax (aka Jay Donaldson) sent him some Chicago-influenced demos. "I was like, 'We have to put these out,'" he said. "That was the reason to start something. There are so many great unreleased artists out there, so it's a great time to build something like this." For Asquith, "something like this" isn't just another record label churning out dusty house music to be consumed and forgotten; Lobster Theremin is a platform for little-known artists. Thump VICE
After this first release many came, a solid release to support another. Route 8, Rawaat, Imre Kiss, Ozel AB, Daze, S Olbricht, 1800HaightStreet, DJ Seinfeld, Nthng, Cyborg 95, Privacy, just to name a few artists that are part of the Lobster roster. Lobster is more than a record label, is a vision, and grown to become a independent International Vinyl Distributor, and to open its first record store (21/01/2017). Lobster Distribution
Lobster has launched new sub-labels focusing on different "feelings" and aesthetics. From deeper, murkier, rolling textures, or warmth and summer-baiting tracks to inter-galactic experimental ambient, get settled in for a serious trip! They also have a Lobster Theremin Podcast Series, worth checking (soundcloud/facebook).

The first record feature a 46-minute epic from Swedish artist Liturgiske Owäsendet.The idea for the new imprint came when Lobster Theremin boss Jimmy Asquith found himself suffering from a bout of mild insomnia, which was only cured by a 46-minute piece of ambient music he found on SoundCloud by Swedish artist Liturgiske Owäsendet. “It’s a slow burning showcase of slowly evolving sonic substances and memories; a dense fog on a barren land steadily revealing the artefacts and objects hidden behind rocks and beneath the shadows; a static art piece hanging for months in a gallery rarely visited, allowed to decay into a beautiful immersive, solitary existence,” the label says. Lobster Sleep Sequence is the latest of many sub-labels spawned from Lobster Theremin. FACT
One of the UK’s most popular and influential labels for house and techno, helped to launch the careers of unknown artists, and proves that a strong vision, experience, patience,and a dose of intuition can create an empire!

Since I've heard Palms Trax - Equation for the first time few years ago I am regularly forcing my neighborhoods to learn what a "quality electronic music" means ;) I think that they all already hate Lobster Theremin records :)
I love this label, Privacy is my favorite thank you.
