Spinnin\’ Records is a Dutch electronic music label founded in 1999 by Eelko van Kooten and Roger de Graaf. While the label has become renowned for its contributions to various electronic genres, its early years were notably marked by a strong emphasis on trance music.
In the early 2000s, Spinnin\’ Records launched the sublabel Liquid Recordings, dedicated exclusively to trance music. This sublabel played a pivotal role in promoting trance artists and releases, contributing to the genre\’s growth and popularity during that period.
One of the most significant acts associated with Spinnin’ Records’ trance era is 4 Strings. Their tracks, such as “Daytime,” “Into The Night,” and the vocal version “Take Me Away,” became major hits within the trance community and beyond. These releases exemplified the label’s commitment to high-quality trance music and helped solidify its reputation in the genre.
Over time, Spinnin\’ Records expanded its musical scope, embracing a broader range of electronic dance music styles. Despite this diversification, the label\’s early contributions to trance music remain a significant part of its legacy.
