Pioneering New Zealand independent label operating from 1980 to 1983, Propeller Records is widely recognized as the first of the post-punk NZ indies. Although the label ceased operations after three years, it has continued to release various compilations over the years. Its subsidiaries, Huh Records and Joy Records, have been actively signing and releasing new artists since then. Initially distributed by Ode Records and later by Festival Records (NZ) Ltd., Propeller Records is currently distributed by DRMNZ. The label is owned by Simon Grigg.

Propeller Records

Highasakite is an indie pop and rock band from Norway, formed in 2012 by Ingrid Helene Håvik and Trond Bersu. The duo quickly gained success with their debut album, winning the Spellemanspris "Newcomer of the year" award in 2012. Over time, Highasakite expanded to a five-piece band but faced a bitter conflict in 2017 that led to a legal battle over the ownership of the band's name. Marthe Eberson, Øystein Skaar, and Kristoffer Lo felt they were forced out of the band during this process. Today, Håvik and Bersu continue to record as a duo under the Highasakite name.

With influences from artists like Susanne Sundfør, Bendik, and Frida Ånnevik among others, Highasakite creates captivating music that combines elements of indie pop and rock. Their unique sound has garnered them a dedicated fan base both in Norway and internationally.

Experience the enchanting melodies and heartfelt lyrics of *Highasakite* as they continue to create beautiful music that resonates with audiences around the world.

As one of one of seven detention camps within Guantanamo Bay, Camp Echo is a brooding proposition. It's entrenched in historical discourse, but for Highasakite's Ingrid Helene Håvik, 'Camp Echo' is more a state of mind. It forms the basis of Highasakite's highly anticipated follow-up to debut LP 'Silent Treatment'. Sonically speaking, 'Camp Echo' exists somewhere between the mid 1980s?90s; pulling inspiration from electro-industrial heavyweights The Prodigy and Nine Inch Nails, and owing much to the production smarts of Kåre Christoffer Vestrheim (who also produced 'Silent Treatment'). Given the band's largely electronic output, it's interesting to note the all-inclusive process that sets them apart from EDM contemporaries.
