Wally Lopez, Olivier Giacomotto, Steve Porter, are a few of the artists released on the Seven Limited Records imprint. Based out of NYC, 7LTD's philosophy regarding its catalog is to feature relevant artists with a quality sound, solid track record and most importantly, artists we like and respect ourselves.
2009 promises to be another great year with iPhone (Tap Tap Revenge) and NOKIA licenses already locked in, and more highly regarded talent to be added to the roster including Dr. Kucho, Gaby Dershin, & Medway among others. Not to mention Dr. Kucho's remix of 'El Mariachi' garnered a Top 14 spot on Beatport's Top 100, & has already been licensed to several global compilations.
One promise for our listeners, we'll continue to release only what we deem to be top notch, funkdafied productions for the floor.
