The RawSoul’s “Nervous Records Showcase (Part 1 & 2)”
A showcase of 81 cuts from the highly influential Nervous Records catalogue!
Another crucial and essential label, Nervous Records was very influential to the development of the New York underground House movement. It was founded in 1990 by Sam Weiss (of the legendary disco label Sam Records) and his son, Mike Weiss. Their extremely catchy logo and their raw and slamming releases made the label a favourite among the DJs and House heads within only a few releases out.
As the years went by, Mike Weiss created an impressive catalogue of music embracing House, Techno, Hip Hop, and Disco amongst others. Many legendary and upcoming producers were releasing tracks on the imprint building a varied but cohesive identity that was very representative of the excitement this music was generating at that time.
