AIRDROP presents EXTRACTION US


From Disco in New York, to House in Chicago, to Techno in Detroit, the United States have been at the forefront of the worldwide dance music scene for almost four decades. While European and Latin American sounds have dominated recent productions, the re-emergence of the stateside underground electronic music scene makes this a perfect time to refocus on the country where it all began.
Economic pressure and mainstream ignorance challenging U.S artists trying to gain wide exposure has pushed many of the finest artists from The States’ and labels to go to Europe and Latin America. Nevertheless, today - possibly more than ever - the U.S scene is pushing towards headlining a global revival. With international artists, promoters and label owners settling in cities like New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, Detroit, Seattle, Portland and even Boston, the U.S is growing importance to international electronic music lovers. For Extraction U.S we have carefully compiled this new generation of artists on the rise: Artists who have gained exposure for their exceptional music or performances but whose full potential has not yet been recognized by the international community. In some respects many of these artists shaping their local communities are hidden gems - until now.
After making you wait and a lot of hype, Extraction US is making its way to your local record shop. The compilation has gathered the US' finest emerging artists from Alland Byallo, J.Phlip, Lunatik, Elon and Soul Clap, to Nicolas Jaar, Marcel Wave (aka Tanner Ross), Stefny, Pat Fontes and Crazy Larry, they have all proven that the US scene has a lot to contribute. For more details about the compilation and a few previews, check this out.
