Nobler in transcendent spirit than its graceful departure as one of the most prestigious techno imprints in our modern time, 50 Weapons lives on fittingly in the upcoming 12″ release of Oblivion by Dystopian’s own master of the drum RĂždhĂ„d alongside FJAAK’s Super Smash track. Settling in as catalogue number #049, this smashing pair of tracks is the last installment of a ten-part Debut series on Boiler Room. Read more
A tribute to 50 Weapons – One of the leading electronic labels of the decade
We all knew this day was coming. When 50 Weapons began in 2005 it was their sole intention to have a limited lifespan, and throughout their presence in the music industry they managed to carve a niche in electronic music. The past ten years have seen 50 Weapons curate EPâs and albums from the likes of Benjamin Damage, Cosmin TRG, Bambounou, Truncate, Marcel Dettmann, Addison Groove, among others; all bringing forth a forward thinking and innovative approach to underground electronic music.
50 Weapons had style, grace, and was always at the forefront of musical exploration. It can be a sad moment when something special like this comes to an end, but rather than mourn the closing of 50 Weapons we choose to honor the musical legacy they’ve left behind.
In our tribute to 50 Weapons, we’ve selected some of our favorite tracks over the yearsâŠand trust us when we say thisâŠit was no easy task. Enjoy some of our personal favorites from the 50 Weapons catalog, and make sure to take a closer look into their expansive musical library to find your favorites too.
