Creative Vibes picks up Submerge and Clone

Slightly old news:

The Submerge announcement:

Detroit techno has a home in Detroit at 3000 East Grand Boulevard. A home built on vinyl sweat and percussive dreams. Submerge’s three-story music building is in the heart of Detroit’s cultural center, a short distance from Berry Gordy’s original Motown headquarters. From the beginnings of Detroit techno and house to the latest electro, soul and hip-hop, Submerge is one of the world’s hubs for electronic music. Submerge was established in 1992 by Christa Weatherspoon Robinson and Michael Banks as an administrative hub for Detroit’s independent dance music labels. The company has served as a channel for many labels, who have come and gone and taken on new direction over the years. As Submerge’s casts of characters has changed and evolved, the spirit has remained strong. With support from many of Detroit’s most talented and dedicated producers, label managers, promoters, DJs, writers, booking agents, and vinyl technicians, Submerge has remained afloat beneath the surface. The current line up of Submerge labels includes, Black Nation, Electrofunk, Hipnotech, Hitechfunk, Ignitor, KMS, Los Hermanos, Metroplex, Motech, Red Planet, Renaissance, Submerge Recordings, Transmat/Fragile, Tunnel 7 and Underground Resistance. Creative Vibes are proud to announce the addition to their already reputable roster of labels and look forward to bringing you the very best of Detroit’s finest!

The Clone announcement:

Creative Vibes has another welcome addition to the family in the form of one of the most influential and well respected techno and electro labels from the Netherlands. While the Clone imprint has released techno gems from artists such as Duplex, Drexciya, Cosmic Force, Underground Resistance and Bangkok Impact, their sub-label is also making it’s mark in the music world. Dub Recordings has made a name for itself with quality electronica releases from Funkstorung, Speedy J and a host of other producers, and has become one of the labels that truly specilises in modern electronica and IDM. Also into the CV fold come labels distributed by Clone: Viewlexx, Murder Capital, 4Lux, Bunker and Nature. Stay tuned in 2004 for a swag of the freshest electronica, techno, disco and house releases, direct from Rotterdam!

Good on you guys! The addition of these two labels along with Groovy Gordon’s unstoppable partying power, Creative Vibes can now take on the world! 😉
