Living Space Records is a brand new record label from Finland.
Based in the cities of Helsinki and Jyvaskyla, the imprint aims to offer a
fresh take on left-of-the-road electronic rhythm music. Established and co-managed by DJ:ing
friends Joel Hypén and Matti Nives, the label is loosely connected to the radio show with
the same name on Vienna's Play.fm. Although the founders of Living Space approach
electronic music from slightly different angles, there's an overlapping meeting point
somewhere close to tags such as leftfield hiphop, downtempo, future jazz,
broken beat, dubstep, deep house, and so forth.

a project that won the renowned Ninja Tune / Solid Steel
demo contest a couple of years back. Now it's time to see what kinda depth
this upcoming Finnish producer has in store. The In Phase EP (LSP001) will

Be sure to check out the Living Space radio show on play.fm.
The show runs once a month and features Joel and Matti digging their crates
and picking out tasty cuts for your listening pleasure. The emphasis is on
quality rather than quantity, and a relaxed living room vibe is maintained in
the course of action. Every now and then guests are also invited to share
their vision of Good Sounds by the means of deep mixes and impromptu discussions.
