One a nice day Richard de Mildt (Dj Luna), Rodney Pilapil (DJ Pila) and Ronald Pilapil (The Sientist) meet each other at their office on the industrial site of Haarlem, a town near by Amsterdam. All being owners of Straighton Recordings it´s task to define their label ones and for all. This has become necessary since things are doing extremely well for Straighton Recordings, especially on the international market. The idea of starting a label of themselves came up in 2002. The Dj-careers of Richard and Rodney flourished and they wanted to release their own records. They had to conquer various problems. In the age of hardcore there used to be a 'doing it only for the fun' mentality, but those days are over. Three years later 21 records have been released on Straighton and the subtitles Straighton Black (which contains more experimental records with crossovers to hardtrance and techno, mainly produced by young talented producers). Now another division is being added to Straighton called Privilige Recordings. This new label is founded in the cooperation with the popular Dutch Hardtrance DJs Bas`n Ram so it`s focussing on Hardtrance productions. Straighton Recordings also has it`s own merchandise line called Double E Branding (www.deeb.nl)
