2015 ibiza sampler.<br />
2015 Ibiza sampler was a selection of some of our<br />
previously released summer vibe type sound along with a<br />
handful of new tracks made strictly for that sampler.<br />
2016 saw a new WMC compilation<br />
how did you guys feel about this<br />
and also your ADE compilation<br />
release that year?<br />
The WMC compilation was the same idea of<br />
compiling spring time sound of previously released tracks<br />
for Miami music week. The ADE comp that year was all<br />
new tracks made specificlly for that VA with one re master<br />
of an older Household Eddie Richards track that was then<br />
compiled for a mix done by artist Horatio.<br />
2018 saw a new ADE compilation,<br />
how essential are these compilation<br />
releases to you guys, do you see a<br />
growth in demos received a result?<br />
2018 ADE compilation was all new tracks made for<br />
that ADE festival as we used it as a tool to help promote<br />
our sound and label while I was in Amsterdam for ADE that<br />
year. The VA and comp releases were used to either push<br />
out quality tracks that we felt didn't get enough recognition<br />
or to help promote our sound during those festival weeks<br />
with the intent to get into top artists hands to play out. We<br />
do sometimes see more demos as a result of growth or<br />
artists promotion.<br />
In 2019 you had your 100 th<br />
release.<br />
The 100th release was a huge milestone for us as<br />
we always had a goal to keep pushing music as long as we<br />
can since we first started the vinyl label. We brought<br />
together a list of Household artists old and new to make<br />
brand new tunes for this special release.<br />
Have you done any HHD events?<br />
Yes, in our early years we threw quite a few<br />
events from club parties, rave parties and events during<br />
Miami music week from 2004-2007.<br />
Since then I held a few label showcases in the bay<br />
area for either release promotion or label brand promotion.<br />
Last showcase we had was in 2019 in San Francisco for our<br />
100th release party.<br />
Where else can we catch you<br />
playing (radio show / soundcloud<br />
mixes etc) ?<br />
Yes, I have mixes on my souncloud @tonerangole<br />
as well as regular gigs in my local surrounding cities of San<br />
Francisco bay area, Sacramento and the next gig on St<br />
Patty's day in Las Vegas.<br />
Has there been any new artists<br />
who have caught your attention?<br />
Yes, lots of artists/producers that have my<br />
attention like Dilby, Bizen Lopez, Dale Howard and George<br />
Smeddles but they're not necessarily young artists they are<br />
established. As far as young names I been following J Matin<br />
and even Jake Beautyman as a guy on the rise.<br />
How can an artist reach you with<br />
their demos?<br />
