Elevation Recordings

Elevation Recordings, a new house label out of Galway, Ireland, sent us their first release entitled "First Flight EP" (ER001), and we love it. All four tracks featured on this debut release come with an incredible amount of jazz 'n soul, and convinced us that Elevation Recordings is on to something special. We here at the UF want to wish Darran Nugent and Elevation all the best for their hopefully successful endeavor into house with a huge touch of jazz!
