The NYC label’s mission is to release dance floor anthems that represent how disco is being modernized, while still celebrating and paying homage to the original sounds of the famed nightclub. The releases will appeal to the next generation of music lovers; experimenting with fusing the genre with all things pop, hip-hop, house music, indie, and electronica that target today's diversearray of club-goers, the underground dance music community, and original Studio 54 disco fans.

The label’s first release, Night Magic Vol. I is a four-track compilation EP of disco anthems from the club’s prime days, reimagined into fresh 2020 versions by an ensemble of respected musicians from both the original scene and today’s dance music world. Notable musicians on the EP include former Tower of Power lead singer Tom Bowes giving his powerful voice on “At Midnight”; frontwoman of disco/house outfit Escort, Nicki B, gives range and slick vocals on “Got To Have Lovin”; Music Director of the smash-hit Broadway show Hamilton; Jonny Dinklage, gives stabbing disco strings throughout the EP, especially on “Lovin’ Is Really My Game” which also features diva vocals by rising funk, soul and R&B star Adeline; “Souvenirs” then closes the EP with a beautiful upbeat ballad that features hustling funk singer RickExpress. In mid August, the label plans to release extended club mixes of select tracks for DJs and dance music lovers alike.

The project was led by producer JKriv, current member of Escort, a former member of world touring house/nu-jazz band Tortured Soul, and label boss of the internationally respected disco-edits label, Razor-N-Tape. Essential keys, synths, and the overall project co-production is by Morgan Wiley, known for his work with DFA Records and LCD Soundsystem; Hercules & Love Affair; and disco band Midnight Magic.
