Exiting Planet Dust; Astralwerks celebrates its 20th anniversary
Getting its start in 1993, Astralwerks began as a sub-label of Caroline Records, an independent US distributor whose main focus was rock n roll. Already established in the UK, electronic music needed a home on American soil and thus Astralwerks was born. Forward thinking from its inception, the label's first release was from Amorphous Adrogynous, a spin-off of the wildly popular Future Sound of London. From there the iconic label's roster grew until it became a veritable whose who of dance music. The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, Swedish House Mafia, David Guetta - the list reads like the roster of a dance music all star team.
