Peacefrog

Peacefrog is a UK independent label that was started in 1991 by Pete Hutchison and Paul Ballard. They have been releasing various styles of electronic music since their inception. The label was named after the track Peace Frog by The Doors, which can be found on their album Morrison Hotel.

In 1996, Paul Ballard decided to leave Peacefrog Records, leaving Pete Hutchison as the sole owner and operator of the label. Despite this change, Peacefrog continued to thrive and release groundbreaking electronic music.

With over three decades of experience in the industry, Peacefrog has established itself as a respected authority in the world of electronic music. Their diverse roster includes talented artists from different genres within the electronic music spectrum.

Fromtheoldtothenew was originally released in 1996 and is the second full length on Peacefrog from Steve 'Stasis’ Pickton. Growing up as a teenager in East London, break-dancing and writing graffiti with B12’s Mike Golding, Steve Pickton’s musical education moved along a familiar path, from hip-hop to Electro and onto Techno. Schooling himself in music theory and purchasing a sampler Pickton set about making his own music. Releasing on a whose who of seminal UK electronic labels including A.R.T., Likemind, Otherworld and B12 under various pseudonyms Pickton’s UK take on lush Detroit melodies fused techno, funk, hip-hop, dub, blues and jazz into a dense concoction all of his own making. Fromtheoldtothenew saw Pickton slip off his earlier techno shackles and head for uncharted electronic waters. The echo chamber dramatics of Gun and wayward lurch of Ale House Blues were a long way from Detroit, while few tracks have demonstrated the sheer breadth of electronica more dramatically than Utopia Planetia. All in all it's more jazz, less tech without losing the soul.
