Cromarti Records Showcase

Cromarti Showcase

Cromarti Records is a young label based out of Austin TX focused on delivering some of the best Deep House, Tech House, Progressive, Soulful House, and Disco influenced electronic music the world has to offer. Our focus is to release thoughtful and emotive dance music, bringing together sounds from all over the House music spectrum, yet emphasizing music with an innovative and inspirational touch in order to depart from the often stale and monotonous world of commercialism and mainstream dance music. Cromarti Records is a vision created by House Music enthusiasts and label managers Abraham Garza, Andres Aguirre, and George Horn that also consists of Will Konitzer and Julio Lacayo. Cromarti has, thus far, gained support from the likes of:

Hernan Cattaneo, Jody Wisternoff, Lovebirds, Tom Morgan, The Timewriter, Matthias Vogt, Gorge, Nomad In The Dark, Richard Earnshaw (Spiritchaser), Gabriel Sordo, Hisham Zahran, Evren Ulusoy, The Disclosure Project, Jon Silva, Pablo Fierro, Soul Minority, Sebastian Davidson, Add2Basket, and Ricky Ryan to name a few…

We currently have original productions and remixes from worldwide artists such as:

Evren Ulusoy, Claes Rosen, Ricky Inch, Roland Nights, Lopatyn, Sachrias & Aslak, Disclosure Project, Pablo Fierro, Adham & Hisham Zahran, Da Funk, Elastic Sound, Surrealism, Dana Bergquist & Peder G, Latenta Project, Ross Couch, Seb Dhajje, Jevne, Artie Flexs, Manwoman, Kyka, Third Floor Tiger, Daniel Martinez, Memo Insua, HouseRiders, Moskardi, Hernan Cerbello, Andres Aguirre, El Catrin, and George Horn

We hope you will join us on a Sunday evening, before the hectic work week, to sample the grooves we wish to keep providing for Electronic Music fans in Austin and all over the globe. Each hour we’ll be giving away FREE CDs with some of Cromarti Records best tunes to date! We will also be handing out some of our shirts for free as well, unfortunately we only have a few left and hope you can fit into a Medium 😛 Since we are kinda low on the tees, we’ll also raffle off two $10 Beatport giftcodes that you will receive from either us via email which will allow you to purchase some new beats from the port of beats that is beatport…

DJ Sets by:

George Horn (Cromarti Records, Aqaumarine, Cabrio, Acryl Music)

Will Konitzer (Cromarti Records, Coordinated London, Proton Radio)

Rey Aguilar (Cromarti Records, Fade Records, Pet Food)
As one of Cromarti’s artists to be featured on the label, Rey Aguilar will be joining us from McAllen TX where he has been one of the leading promoters of House Music for quite a few years. Rey has also become a favorite of Mr. Chris Fortier himself for his label Fade Records, and has been releasing a number of Rey’s originals and remixes. On top of that, Rey knows how to let you have a good time on the dance floor… Visit Rey’s Soundcloud below to hear music and mixes 🙂

+ Showcase: EL CATRIN (Cromarti Records, Nightbird, Grouper)
We will be showcasing a young new talent based right here in Austin that most probably do not know of yet. His name is Julio Lacayo “EL CATRIN”. Julio has recently had an EP released to Sebastian Davidson’s NIGHTBIRD label, signed to GROUPER RECORDINGS, and soon Austin’s very own CROMARTI RECORDS. We are sure more labels will be hot on his trail. For those of you who dig the Deep/Funky House vibes , Julio is one to look out for. Below you can check out links to a recent mix of his, and his Soundcloud artist page. Plus be sure to check out other mixes by some of Cromarti’s other DJs and Producers.
