New label 154 Records launches on 17th December with a 4 track EP entitled ‘History’. The EP showcases the nu skool progressive sound that label founder Ian Van Boorn states will set it apart from other labels. With a full promo campaign underway, the ‘History’ EP is attracting serious tastemaker attention as 154 Records prepares for its launch through all the leading digital portals.

154 Records is the culmination of a career immersed in dance music and club culture. It’s an outlet for electronic music without boundaries that comes from the heart. Ian Van Boorn is the creative force behind 154 records; a man on a mission. Van Boorn has lived a life consumed by dance music. Spending years in various guises, he has DJ’ed and produced dance music across an array of genres, always with one uniting factor; he makes the dance floor move.

The ‘History’ EP delivers 4 tracks produced by Ian Van Boorn and gives a taster of what to expect as 154 enters the dance arena. With 4 tracks; the tougher, uplifting sound of ‘History’, the hook-laden, driving sound of ‘All Of Me’, the hypnotic groove of ‘Higher Lows’ and the deeper, riff-driven ‘Tribia’, this is an EP that makes a true statement of intent.

The sound of 154 Records is difficult to categorise; pulsing tribal beats, yet soaked with the emotion of trance; distorted electro sounds immersed in twisted grooves, this is the sound of old skool progressive but with a modern slant; the nu skool progressive.

Van Boorn comments, “The 154 label sound is like a bag of m & m’s; you’re not sure what you’re going to get, but you know it’ll be tasty, taking the best from all dance genres and moulding them into something new, without being afraid of the boxes...”

Ian Van Boorn has delivered the music that he always wanted to and 154 Records has landed, with a nod to the past and a foot in the door of the future.
