FPR014 is produced by Spain's own Deep Explorer, Dubbyman. Dubbyman delivers two hefty versions of the soulful production "Rise of Equality". Built on a 4/4 foundation and a swinging bass-line, the two different takes are a mixture of deep and moving piano chords, murmuring synth lines, and a stimulating and charming vox. Deep Detroit House via Madrid Spain.



To accompany Dubbyman's 'Original' and 'Piano Take Beats' mixes is an Acid House rework by famed producer and Ferrispark label-head Scott Ferguson. We hope you will enjoy the soulfulness and diversity of this exceptional EP.

New Release-GRVD-003-Josh Dahlberg



Two new minimal techno tracks produced by Detroit’s Josh Dahlberg, presented by Ferrispark Records sub-label, Gravid Digital.

Josh Dahlberg spent his awkward teen years in his bedroom with a drum machine, sampler, and records, only coming out for school, soccer, and the occasional visit from label mate, and close friend, Josh Cummings.

Despite growing up in a rural Michigan town, Dahlberg kept his ears on Detroit as a reference point for his creativity.

While attending university in northern Michigan, Josh founded the record label, Blank Artists.

Now based in Detroit, Josh has reached many goals that far surpass his years.

In 2006, Josh worked with one of his oldest – and most important – influences, Underground Resistance/Submerge at their famous base camp on Grand Ave., which served as a learning experience that will impact him forever.

As a music producer and DJ, Josh has shared stage time with some of electronic music’s elite – which has afforded him the privilege of playing shows from New York to California.

With upcoming releases that are sure to please, check out why XLR8R has called him “a refiner of the Detroit sound…this breakthrough artist is well on the way to making an impact on dance music”.

We Are Going Digital, Why? 10 Reasons

All future releases on Ferrispark Records will be digital downloads only. Ferrispark Records will be working with Beatport and iTunes as the main digital download stores representing the label and music. I believe these stores do the best job, offering the most to customers and clients, and constantly working hard to stay ahead in the growing world of digital download sales.

Why?
Sometimes its extremely hard to except change. It means the days of pressing vinyl are on hold and the acceptance of a new format of media is taking place. It means from here on out, things will be different. Here are 10 reasons why I decided this change is what is best for Ferrispark Records at this protocolar moment in time.

1.Record and CD sales dropped by more then 50%
2.Digital is cost effective for labels and consumers
3.Consumers have more buying power (choice)
4.Less environmentally destructive material
5.Digital provides freedom for artists
6.Market share less then 1% to more then 3% of world
7.I own and use Traktor Scratch to Deejay
8.I own and use computers to make music
9.I believe digital will sound better then analogue
10. I believe digital is the future
