Renowned record label and DJ duo Craigie Knowes are returning to their Fair City roots. Having grown the Craigie Knowes name from a passion project to an internationally known trailblazer of underground electronic music from their former Glasgow base. The lads felt that now was the right time to return to their hometown. Settling in no better place than the grounds of Perth’s iconic nightclub Ice Factory.
Craigie Knowes’ early days as a DJ duo saw Max and Mitch finding their sound as artists in some of Perth’s favourite local clubs and bars. Naturally, they became familiar faces behind the Ice Factory decks and grew a strong connection with the club. Mitch was also a founding member of one of Ice Factory’s resident DJ collectives, Groovement. Having most recently appeared at the Groovement x Voyage Halloween party last year alongside DJ Bone, AISHA & Dundee-based label & DJ collective Hilltown Disco.
Heading for the bright lights of Glasgow only elevated the guys’ success even more, becoming both monthly La Cheetah & Rinse FM residents. The label rooted its stance as a hub for up-and-coming underground electronic artists. Releasing everything from hardcore techno to deep house. The Craigie Knowes lads saw the potential in Scotland’s electronic scene and gave DJs a place to get their music heard. Soon producers from across the globe would be eyeing up a chance to release with Max and Mitch.
Craigie Knowes’ impressive discography of releases includes the works of The Burrell Connection, Gerd Janson, Deep Space Orchestra, Derek Carr, Hammer, and Shanti Celeste, to name a few. As well as fellow Perth lad DJCJ.
As we speak, Max and Mitch are grafting away behind the scenes to prepare for their next release with Eluize. The Berlin-based Australian DJ/producer will drop her second album with Craigie Knowes titled ‘Gone’ on October 19th, 2020. Consisting of eight tracks, the album combines flavours of deep, spacey techno and electro with samples of Eluize’s own vocal melodies heard throughout.
Keep up to date with Craigie Knowes’ latest releases via their official SoundCloud.
As well as their freshly announced EP ‘Thunderstrike’ with Larionov and St.Theodore which will officially be released on November 2nd, 2020.
We’ve absolutely loved watching the journey that Craigie Knowes has taken to become the highly respected label that it is today. As well as allowing Max and Mitch to gig around the globe as talented DJs themselves.
It’s with great pleasure that we welcome the lads back to Perth. We can’t wait to see them get stuck into the local scene, as well as use the legendary grounds they are now set in as their base to continue to play & work with DJs worldwide.
