is a record label and party run by
Joe ‘Hot Chip’ Goddard,
Alexander ‘Olympian’ Waldron
and Dom ‘Mentsh’ Bastyra.
Meeting over a common love of left-of-centre pop music in the multi-coloured hallways of London’s Island Records, the trio threw one party together and then almost immediately went separate ways – Mentsh into music management, Goddard to form Hot Chip, Waldron to Berlin to run !K7 Records and Boiler Room Berlin - but over the years they kept meeting to throw unadvertised parties in off-beat locations and release sporadic records.
Drawing the name and inspiration from the Olympic wrestling sport, over a decade later the label still thrives on its athletic grace and prowess.
