Well, its been a year since we launched The Centrifuge’s netlabel with our first London show (at the now defunct Epicurean Lounge) and what a year it’s been!
At the last count we’ve put on or been heavily involved about 35 shows in 4 UK cities (London, Nottingham, Leeds and Manchester) in the past 12 months, in spaces as diverse as galleries, clubs, Â city centre spaces, warehouses and community centres. Not to be outdone, the label has released 27 EPs, albums and compilations.
