Proximity One: Narrative of a City
(Proximal Records)
Release date: Aug 10, 2010
Proximal Records is a Los Angeles-based independent record label with a mission of supporting and promoting vibrant new voices in the local electronic music community. The brainchild of L.A. natives Carl Madison Burgin, better known as Sahy Uhns, and composer/ producer Jeff Elmassian, Proximal provides a home for local artists to connect and collaborate.
Their debut release, Proximity One: Narrative of a City, takes the listener through the musical landscape of Los Angeles as they hear it. With a disregard for popularity and scene, Proximity One juxtaposes established and up-and-coming talent and the result is a cohesive and inspired record. Proximity One: Narrative of a City features L.A. staples such as DaM-FunK and Daedelus, current beat-makers such as Teebs and TOKiMonsta, and Proximal's very own Sahy Uhns, Benedek, Lawrence Grey, Wake and BearClaw. With vision, talent and a commitment to the city of Los Angeles, Proximal Records will always be a step apart and a step ahead.
