Check out and share our Hungry Koala Records Interview. This interview is part of our new Labels in the Spotlight Series. In this interview series we feature exciting labels from all over the world. As always: Share & Support!
Please tell us a bit about yourself and your label. Where are you based, what genres & styles do you cover… And when/how how did it all start?
Yo! I'm Naylo, from the East Coast of Australia! I gave birth to Hungry Koala Records a little over 5 years ago after producing and releasing on other labels around the world for 5 years before that. I felt Australia particularly needed a Record Label that regularly released the sounds of the underground, anything from Minimal to Techno to Psy-Trance etc. The EDM bubble i thought would burst so i felt there was a great opportunity to start this. The first 10 releases were from myself and some quality artists that i'd formed a close relationship with over the years, Artists including Droplex, Slice N Dice, Mark Dekoda, Reecey Boi, Johnny Canik, Doubkore, R3ckzet, Jus Deelax, FiveAm and more. Fuck looking back now it was an amazing year, we entered and rose to the top of the Minimal Techno scene quiet fast so it's been amazing to maintain those great heights for so many years!
What are some releases our audience simply must check out? (Either new stuff or evergreen classics)
Maybe i'm a little biased but i still play the labels first release every set even after 5 years, Naylo & Reecey Boi (Droplex & Slice N Dice Remix)
Anything from Mark Dekoda, Droplex, Johnny Canik, Match Hoffman and Dj Jordan always work well on the dance floors and my favourite of the young artists coming up would be Australia's Lee Harris!
