** Label of the Month! - WORDSOUND
CDuctive is proud to welcome WordSound to the family. Straight
from Brooklyn, NY and run with total underground authority by
my man Skiz Fernando, WordSound has been wrecking things since
day one. The WordSound roster includes work from Spectre,
Bill Laswell, Prince Paul and Metabolics. As fact checked in
the NY Press, Skiz has always been dedicated to the Underground
. When asked about his feelings on music's use of the internet,
Skiz said "The major labels are crumbling right now and the
internet will provide a direct link from the music to the
people." Good looking out Skiz, CDuctive is honoured to have
WordSound as part of the team...
** Exclusive Pre-Releases! - DEEP THINKA RECORDS

Ripsquad's "I Let U Tell It", Lazarus' "Ex-S-Ou Jargon" and
The Deck Of Cards' "Execution", all from Deep Thinka Records,
are available right here, right now, only at CDuctive and
nowhere else on earth, so don't sleep on it, go on and get
some...
** New Label! - BI-COASTAL RECORDINGS
Bi-Coastal Recordings was established in the summer of 1998
with their first release "The Big Daddy Anthem", featuring
MC's Shabazz The Disciple, Natruel, Wicked Will (Willie Stubs),
Mr. Eon (High & The Mighty) and the infamous L-Fudge. The next
release was Natruel's debut single "Live People" b/w "Make It
Or U Die". Bi-Coastal has been around as a national independent
radio promotions company since 1994, working with a variety
of labels such as Tru Criminal, Insomnia, ABB, and Noo
Trybe/Virgin to name a few...
** New Label!- CELESTIAL RECORDINGS
Celestial Recordings was founded in early 1998, from the
alleyways and underground of Los Angeles. It is entirely
artist owned and operated. Celestial is 100% independent,
handling all aspects of production, marketing and distribution
by themselves. With groundbreaking release from the DJ madness
of Hive and the mic re-constructing outer-space vibe of Phoenix
Orion (both of which are legendary in the San Pedro, California
part of the Galaxy), Celestial is just getting warmed up...
** New Label! - CORE RECORDS
Mr. Complex has just raised the ante a few notches. Hot off
the presses of starting his own label, Complex is preparing
to run things his way, period. With the first releases, "Ima
Killit" and "Big Fronter", exploding all over the Hip-Hop
globe, Complex is gearing up for more and more in the following
years. So as the millenium gets closer, we all know the world
is gonna get mad Complex...
** New Label! - DEEPTHINKA RECORDS
DeepThinka Records was established in June 1997 by Tony Caferro
and Robert Hill, who between the two of them combine years of
seasoning within Hip-Hop - from production to rhyming to DJing.
The idea was to bring together a family of MC's, singers,
producers, and DJ's, while maintaining each artist's
individuality...
** New Label! - DEPTH CHARGE RECORDINGS
Northern Virginia's leading Hip-Hop authority, led under the
expert eyes of Danny Zacharias, Depth Charge has a roster
chalked full of the real Hip-Hop. Team Demolition, Optical
The Visionary and Lower Life Forms are all on the Depth Charge
Team and as they continue to drop some serious music, the
arsenal just grows and grows. Depth Charge is a rising star
on a collision with the Hip-Hop world at large and they are
just getting warmed up...
** New Label! - MIND YOUR RECORDINGS
Once upon a time, navigating in the far reaches of our galaxy
there was an enormous spaceship on a direct course towards
planet Earth. It must have been sometime around the beginning
of 1975 that they dropped Kimani off in Manhattan, NYC. About
a year and a half later they dropped off The Scribe in Queens.
The two crossed paths in the fall of 1994 an in 1995 the duo
began to compose songs on a 4-track recorder under the name
Masterminds. Thus began Mind Your Recordings...
