Speedy Wunderground

Speedy Wunderground is a record label founded by Dan Carey, Alexis Smith, and Pierre Hall. The label's unique approach includes recording all releases in one day at Dan's South London studio, with minimal overdubs to maintain a raw sound. Each recording will be limited to 250 7" vinyls and released as soon as possible after completion. Speedy Wunderground works quickly to minimize delays between recording and release, ensuring the records don't gather dust on shelves. At the end of each year, the label compiles that year's recordings into an album. With its fast-paced production process and commitment to quality music, Speedy Wunderground is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.

The London-based record label releases its third compilation of its limited edition 7” and one 10” singles on one LP. Among those artists / tracks involved in this collection are: the skittering Arthur Russell indebted jam of Running Out by Boxed In and Formation; the DNA-rearranging genre-shifting post-punk of Melt Yourself Down; the glacial synth-pop of JW Ridley; and the Sade-meets-PJ Harvey power pop of newcomer Dewey. In the strong tradition of breaking their own rules the comp also includes the two tracks from Speedy’s very first double A-Side – Meatduscher aka Meatraffle’s The Bird Song (one of Marc Riley’s tracks of the year) and the dirty riffage of Warmduscher’s The Sweet Smell Of Florida which also appears on their recent Carey-produced album Whale City. For the first time ever – the label also deviated from their strict 7” policy with the epic sprawling 13-minute epic Hyperborea from kraut-psychedelia darlings Flamingods – the results of which could only be contained on 10” wax. Also included (and his second outing on Speedy) is the summery G-funk groove of I’m Gone from legendary Detroit Stones Throw rapper Guilty Simpson – laying down his vocals over a beat provided by label head-honcho himself Mr. Dan AKA Dan Carey.
