OX Recordings

OX Recordings is an independent drum and bass record label based in Italy. According to its own about page, it was established in 2017 and describes itself as a "brand new liquid drum and bass label" focused on new school DnB and neurofunk. The label positions itself outside the mainstream, aiming to release modern drum and bass that draws on melodic house, progressive and electro influences while retaining the syncopated rhythms typical of DnB. The label's catalogue centres on liquid drum and bass and neurofunk, which it presents as evolutions of classic and old-school DnB. Its releases are characterised by big bass, solid drums, sharp synths and dreamy melodies, with hypnotic melodies and heavy basslines as recurring features. The harder, darker neurofunk side of the catalogue is identified by a black label logo for easy recognition. OX Recordings distributes its music through major digital stores and also operates an online label shop selling drum and bass merchandising tied to the OX logo and its artists' releases. The label states that it pursues international collaborations to reach fans of the genre worldwide. Its first release, according to the label, was the EP "Human Ep Part.1" by emerging DnB musician Pipu, which the label describes as setting the artistic direction for the drum and bass artists it would produce in future. Subsequent releases highlighted on the label's website include "Cherry Sky / Foul Play" by Loma, "Miles Away" by Meesteik, and "Haze Days" by The Witch Doctor, described as the artist's first black-labelled EP. OX Recordings is a small independent operation rather than a major label group. It is not known to be publicly listed, and no parent company or owner is identified in the available evidence. Its activity is centred on digital release distribution, artist development within the liquid DnB and neurofunk scenes, and direct-to-fan merchandising through its website.

OX Recordings is an independent drum and bass record label based in Italy. Its own about page states that it was established in 2017 and describes it as a "brand new liquid drum and bass label" focused on new school DnB and neurofunk. The label presents itself as growing quickly, with important releases scheduled and a series of international collaborations intended to help the project reach fans of the music worldwide. The label was created, in its own account, to satisfy the need to distribute new tracks that often have little to do with jungle and old-school sounds. Instead, OX Recordings aims to combine a sound drawn from melodic house, progressive and electro with the syncopated rhythm typical of DnB. Its first release is identified as "Human Ep Part.1", a production by emerging DnB musician Pipu, which the label says best represents the artistic direction it has taken and sets guidelines for the drum and bass artists it will produce in future. OX Recordings describes its audience as an ever-growing crowd thirsty for modern productions, as well as fans of the genre who recognise the 1990s sounds of certain synths and samplers. The label characterises its exclusive tracks by big bass, solid drums, sharp synths and dreamy melodies, presenting this as a new way of creating liquid DnB pioneered by few producers but listened to around the world. The heaviest and hardest neurofunk sounds form the dark side of the label's output and are identified by a black label logo for easy recognition. Beyond music production, the label's website includes a store offering drum and bass merchandising associated with the OX logo or with its artists' releases. Releases are distributed to major digital stores. The label's website highlights releases such as "Cherry Sky / Foul Play" by Loma, "Miles Away" by Meesteik (described as the artist's long-awaited first single), and "Haze Days" by The Witch Doctor, presented as the artist's first black-labelled EP with dark sounds and overwhelming drum patterns. No parent company, owner or executive leadership is identified in the available evidence, and the label is not known to be publicly listed. It operates as a small independent imprint within the global drum and bass scene.
