58Beats

58Beats is a German hip-hop record label based in Munich. It was founded in 1998 by the Main Concept members Glam (Markus Klammer), Explizit (Moris Cafaro) and David Pe (David Papo). In its founding year the label released its first single, a 12-inch by Main Concept with the New York emcee Problemz. Further releases followed with artists such as DV alias Khrist, Retsam, Samy Deluxe, Siba Giba and Raptile, whose first maxi single "Access denied / Gleichgewicht" appeared on the label. The label is closely tied to the Munich hip-hop scene. Members of 58Beats, above all the Main Concept co-founders, have also released music through other labels, including the Dortmund-based label Deck8 and Buback, a Hamburg independent label. The 58Beats team has long been part of the circle around the Munich hip-hop crew Blumentopf, with whom they have collaborated, for example in 1999 as part of the Freestyles action together with Samy Deluxe and others. 58Beats has issued albums and singles by acts including Main Concept, Vier zu Eins, Roger Rekless, Minute, Creme Fresh, Glam, 58Beats Armada and Boshi San. Notable releases include the 2002 album "Plan 58" by 58 Beats, Main Concept's 2003 "MUC>>NYC>>STHLM>>BRM", and the 2007 compilation "…haben wir nicht nötig!!" by 58Beats Armada. The label's output spans the late 1990s through the 2010s, reflecting a classic independent German hip-hop catalogue rooted in Munich.
