2008 marks a magic moment for Intuition Recordings. After working in joint ventures with other labels for the past 3 years Menno de Jong has recently set up the label as an
independent entity, making Intuition a future proof and expansion ready electronic powerhouse.
2004 saw the introduction of a brand new musical entity to the dance scene when Menno de Jong & Paul Moelands founded Intuition Recordings. The label is currently one of the top dogs in the Trance genre. After working with Fundamental Recordings and United Recordings for a total of 3 years, end of 2007 the decision was made to go completely independent.
As of the 1st of April 2008 Intuition headquarters are now located in
Eindhoven, The Netherlands. The currently three-headed operation has great plans for the future, that start off with 2 brand-new sub-labels to be launched just before the summer: Intuition Deep and Stellar Sounds. Whilst
Intuition Recordings itself will maintain its focus on quality trance releases,
Intuition Deep will take a trip into progressive and deep trance, whilst keeping the thought behind the global brand: ‘Follow your musical Intuition’.
Stellar Sounds is a whole different story. Space is a big place, and so the musical boundaries of this new sub-label will remain one of the mysteries of the universe. Intuition has introduced a nifty slogan though: ‘Sounds like it came from outer space!’ That combined with an ear for young talent provides the basic ingredients for the musical territory of Stellar Sounds.
The expansion also marks the signing of some excellent new names. Intuition Deep will showcase names of the moment such as
Leonid Rudenko,
Jav D and
Arnej. The first release on the label is courtesy of
Menno de Jong together with good friend
Mark Otten, who have teamed up to deliver the mysterious deep trance track ‘Mad World’. On remix duty is Swedish House Mafia hotshot
Marcus Schössow.
Stellar Sounds has already signed a wide array of musical artillery. Featuring producers that will definetely drop jaws in the future, the first releases will be covered by artists such as
Maarten Hercules,
Dreamtech,
Whirloop,
Cesar Lugo and
Topher Jones.
The first release ‘back’ on Intuition Recordings itself is produced by Intuitions’ Norwegian trance master
Kimito Lopez. His latest effort ‘Melkweg’ features a sublime melodic original version, and a techy atmospheric ‘Alternative Mix’. Releases to follow are product of artists such as
Airbase,
Orjan and of course
Menno de Jong himself.
Intuition Recordings, Intuition Deep and Stellar Sounds will be available at all top
download stores such as Beatport, Audiojelly, Dance-Tunes, Trackitdown and many more.
