Focus Point: Memory Sanctuary
Nestled deep within the Rocky Mountains, a new label is making waves in the bass music scene - Memory Palace. This innovative label, with its unique approach, aims to elevate the North American bass music scene and offer a platform for artists to take creative risks and work on conceptual releases.
Based in Colorado, a hub of bass music in the United States, Memory Palace was conceived during the pandemic. The founder, with varied experiences in the music industry, envisioned a label that would move into larger-scale events, focusing on intentional gatherings and community building.
Memory Palace doesn't adhere to a specific sound or genre for its releases. Instead, it seeks demos that are musically interesting, distinct, and showcase an artist's ability to create sonically remarkable compositions. The A&R process is as unique as the label itself, involving a vial of blood and a bundle of preferred herbs for a ceremonial burning.
The dream for Memory Palace is to host festivals with a focus on fantastical engagement, immersion, and activities outside of the typical party-forward environment. Already, the label has made its mark with festival stage takeovers and pop-up events in Denver.
Magic and Crystal Balls are part of the unique aspects that set Memory Palace apart from other labels. While publicly available and recent detailed information about the label's origin story, artistic approach, or future plans is scarce, it's clear that the Memory Palace team is dedicated and talented, helping to navigate the challenges and take risks.
This year, the founder of Memory Palace is headlining two nights at Red Rocks, a testament to the label's growing influence. Despite not having a regular artist roster at this time, Memory Palace is undoubtedly a label to watch in the North American bass music scene.
As the label continues to grow and evolve, it's exciting to imagine the fantastical events and sonically remarkable compositions that Memory Palace will bring to the world of bass music. Stay tuned for updates from this innovative and captivating label.
