DT6 Launch and more news.....

First up a massive thank-you to everyone from across the globe who has offered support and encouragement on the launch of Starla Records.

The DT6's debut 45 has certainly captured the attention of funk & soul collectors and djs around the world, and we're happy to announce that we have the band recording follow up material at the moment. We also have a few other irons in the fire for other releases, more details will be posted here soon...

In the meantime we have finally got around the sorting out a belated launch party for the DT6 single. Having a band made up of in-demand session players is great until you try to get them in a room at the same time!

The finalised date is Thurs 12 March at Glasgow's Rio Cafe on Hyndland Street from 8.00pm. The DT6 will be performing the tracks from the 45 and debuting a few new tracks, with some special guests due to appear with the band as well.

Demand for the first Starla single has been huge and we are now in a position where only the last few copies will be available on the night for the launch. You can still order copies through the site though, we will remove the link as soon as they sell out (which will be soon, so grab one while you can, we're not planning to re-press so once the 500 go thats it!).

Plans are afoot to release a download/mp3 version of the tracks through I-Tunes etc, again we'll post detials here when we have them.

Thanks again and please get in touch with any queries, comments, recipes etc - starlarecords (at) gmail.com

Starla Records 1001 - Debut Release The DT6 - "Don't Doubt Me"

Due for imminent arrival is the debut vinyl release from Glasgow's Starla Records.

The first in what we hope will be many 45 releases is from our house-band The DT6, with a storming Hammond-led slice of funk entitled "Don't Doubt Me". Recorded in Glasgow with the cream of Scotland's new generation of funk and jazz musicians we hope it sets the tone for the label with a benchmark of quality and originality. The b-side is another DT6 track with the addition of vocals from Marco entitled "Open My Eyes", a sweet and more laid-back track with a whole lot of soul.

Future releases will feature other artists and a variety of styles, but always with the Starla stamp of quality. We'll be posting details of how to pre-order the 45 from us as well. In the meantime, here's a look at the label designs and a sample of the a-side to give you a taste of what's to come...
