Confined Media -

“Lean music production”

“It’s more than an Event It’s a Process”

Let’s start with Confined Media a quick story…

Confined Media is my life… my business, and is the name of our Independent record lable. Ryan and I started the idea out of our shared intrests (music, photography, writing, design, etc), and differing skills and talentents that we found to be very complimentary. The goal was to get paid for doing things we like. The name is almost as much of a talking point as our logo (See Logo Blog) with some questioning what it means and where it came from. Confined Media us being funny (*we get funnier), all of the skills and talents we wanted use for the business were types of media and we wanted to use all media to express ourselves, so Confined Media. I said it once and TADA… we had a name. Althougth we have some exciting genre branding coming up soon for the record label so keep a look out!

Official Confined Media Bio

Website: http://www.confinedmedia.com/
Confined Media is a Seattle-based label, working to stretch the edges of the club music concept. With no genre boundaries, the people working to produce music under the label are looking to make tunes that are danceable, smart, accessible, or experimental; music that catches the ear. Releasing the first EP in 2007, productions have ranged from DJ-friendly, groovy tunes, to trials in sound that bend the possibilities of live performance. Trying to keep up with the latest technology, label members are trying to push forward into unexplored realms of music using the latest innovations in sound production. Overall, Confined Media, as a record label, is trying to take itself and its artists as seriously as possible without losing their initial intent – to entertain people and have fun doing it.
