Overview
Marine Parade Records is a British independent record label established in 1998 by electronic-music DJ and producer Adam Freeland. The imprint takes its name from Marine Parade, the street where Freeland lived in Brighton, the English city associated with his early life. From its beginnings, the label operated as a platform for electronic and dance music, combining Freeland's own releases with records by affiliated producers, groups, and collaborators. The label's catalogue has covered a broad range of electronic styles rather than being confined to one narrowly defined subgenre. Its releases have included dance-oriented tracks such as Freeland's “We Want Your Soul” and ILS's “Next Level,” as well as album projects, remixes, and more stylistically expansive material. The imprint's output has also incorporated collaborations involving artists such as Aesop Rock, Josh Wink, and Tom Middleton, demonstrating a connection to the wider international electronic-music community. Marine Parade helped develop the visibility of several artists. Its catalogue includes work by the Australian band Infusion, Richard File under the name Forme, and Damian Taylor under the name Stone Lions. The label released Evil Nine's album “You Can Be Special Too” in 2004 and followed it with the duo's second album, “They Live,” in 2008. Freeland's own “Now&Them” and “Cope™” were also central releases. The latter, issued in 2009, featured contributions from Tommy Lee of Mötley Crüe, Alex Metric, and Twiggy Ramirez, among others. A double-disc “Cope™ Remixed” collection appeared later in 2009, presenting reinterpretations by artists including Joker, Gui Boratto, Emalkay, Prins Thomas, and Siriusmo. The label also issued the debut album by PANTyRAiD, a project involving Ooah of The Glitch Mob and MartyParty. In 2010, Marine Parade released Freeland's single “How To Fake Your Own Life,” including a remix by Om Unit. Across these releases, the imprint functioned both as a home for Freeland's artist work and as a curator of related electronic music. Publicly available reference material does not provide a detailed corporate structure, financial record, employee roster, or independently verified current release schedule.
History
Marine Parade Records was founded in 1998 by Adam Freeland, the British electronic-music DJ and producer. The name refers to Marine Parade, the street in Brighton where Freeland used to live. This local reference gave the label an identity connected to Freeland's background while the catalogue itself developed an international electronic-music orientation. The imprint was established as an independent outlet for Freeland's own work and for artists operating around the broader dance-music scene. Its catalogue has included singles, albums, remixes, and collaborative projects. Early and continuing examples of its dance-oriented output include Freeland's “We Want Your Soul” and ILS's “Next Level.” The label's work has not been limited to one production style: it has also released material associated with artists such as Jape, whose “Floating” was described as a space-folk hit, illustrating the range of the imprint's taste. Marine Parade's album catalogue includes Freeland's “Now&Them,” ILS's “Soul Trader,” and Evil Nine's “You Can Be Special Too,” released in 2004. The label also commissioned remixes from acts including Prins Thomas, Switch, and D.I.M. Its projects brought in collaborators from outside a single immediate artist circle, with Aesop Rock, Josh Wink, and Tom Middleton among the names associated with its releases. Artist development was another part of the label's role. Reference material credits Marine Parade with helping the careers of Australian band Infusion, Richard File under the alias Forme, and Damian Taylor under the name Stone Lions. Evil Nine returned with its second album, “They Live,” in 2008. Freeland's second artist album for the label, “Cope™,” was released in 2009. The project included contributions from Tommy Lee of Mötley Crüe, Alex Metric, and Twiggy Ramirez, among others. Later that year, Marine Parade issued the two-disc “Cope™ Remixed,” which brought together versions by producers such as Joker, Gui Boratto, Emalkay, Prins Thomas, and Siriusmo. The label also released the debut album of PANTyRAiD, a collaborative project involving Ooah of The Glitch Mob and MartyParty. In 2010, Marine Parade released Freeland's single “How To Fake Your Own Life,” with a remix by Om Unit. The available reference material establishes the label's founding, ownership, catalogue, and artist associations but does not document a formal acquisition, parent company, public listing, detailed staffing structure, or later corporate developments. Its documented identity is therefore that of an Adam Freeland-owned independent electronic-music imprint.
