430 West

Profile:
Established: 1990
Country: USA
City: Detroit
Founder: Octave One

430 West Records is a independent record label based in Detroit, MI USA formed in 1990 by Lawrence Burden, Lenny Burden, and Lynell Burden just months after recording their debut record for Derrick Mays' Transmat label. 430 West was formed as an outlet for the Burden Brothers' own productions (recording as Octave One, Random Noise Generation, Never on Sunday, and Metro D). Later it was expanded to be the home for releases by electronic music artists: Jay Denham, Terrence Parker, Eddie Fowlkes, Aux 88, Wild Planet, Gerald Mitchell to name a few. In 1998, 430 West also became the musical home for the trio's youngest brothers Lance Burden and Lorne Burden.

As of 2000, 430 West functions as a production company and record label, focusing once again on the work of the Burden Brothers. The company has distribution, licensing, and promotion relationships in North America, Europe, United Kingdom, and Japan.

Review by Another_Swede Oct 30, 2004 (edited over 5 years ago)
Known as a classic Techno label although the majority of the early releases are House music from artist like Terrence Parker, Unit 2, L' Homme Van Renn & the superb stuff from Random Noise Generation. Pure quality releases that still works, even better then the new Grey House "all sounding the same" songs of today. The early 430 West releases don't have super slick productions but a lot of attitude and great vibes. Sounds like the House stuff released on Happy Records, Happy Soul, Soul City, Simply Soul, Serious Grooves, Trance Fusion & KMS. Just wanted to draw some attention to the House tracks released on this label, this is not just a Techno label!
