"I wanted to go back to the original vision and release records that can be played in those special moments when the vibe is thick, and the energy is right."

Jamie Jones has a vision to share "records made for iconic moments" on his new label, Paradise Records.

The imprint takes its name from Jones' globally renowned party concept Paradise, a series that annually hosts events in Ibiza, Miami, Los Angeles and more. The revered house music producer, who also helms the seminal Hot Creations label, says he's launching Paradise Records to pay homage to his early influences.

“People sometimes ask me why I called the Paradise parties, Paradise... Well, it was named after the Paradise Garage," Jones explained in a press release shared with EDM.com. "I’ve always dreamt of what it would be like to attend one of Larry Levan’s famous parties. And when the opportunity to do a party in Ibiza came along, I envisioned an eclectic, colourful party as the morning sun came up filled with different types of people. No one caring about anything except for the unity, the vibe, and the journey of the music."

"With Paradise Records," he adds, "I wanted to go back to the original vision and release records that can be played in those special moments when the vibe is thick, and the energy is right."

The first release on Paradise Records is "Geekin," a disco-inspired track by Los Angeles-based house music producer Dateless. He's dropped music on Dirtybird, Insomniac Records, HOTTRAX and more, and also runs his own label, Kolme Records.

Steeped in funky sound design and vintage club influences, "Geekin" is now available on streaming platforms as an original mix and a radio edit.

"'Geekin' (my story in a nutshell, if you will) comes from the feeling of necessity," Dateless said. "I found myself unmoved by the general house scene, so I started listening closer than ever to the house music that still moved me."
