White Label Society
Hosted by Shiloh
Launch Date: January 28 @ 10AM PST / 1PM EST / 07PM CET

The Moreh brothers AKA Shiloh have been a global force in the progressive dance music scene for almost a decade, taking up the top billing at some of the best clubs, parties, and festivals around the world. With over 100 original productions, remixes, compilations, and video game releases, they have been a lasting influence for today’s Progressive House DJs.

Their full length artist album “Bleed” was named DJ Mag’s “Album of the Month” with a 5/5 rating, and a stream of gleaming reviews. They have had numerous plays on BBC Radio One, and have topped hype charts and records sales across the globe. Even as a long established and respected group, they still continue to impress by avoiding gimmicks and flashy marketing and sticking to the one thing that has made their career a success: the music.

Editor’s Note: As this is my first post on the FRISKYblog, I just wanted to make a quick introduction. I was first introduced to electronic music in 2000, starting with the Global Underground series and Oakenfold Essential Mixes, which blew my mind and changed my life. Soon after diving into the music, I went to school for Recording Arts, to learn the production and engineering side of the industry (and later, for Music Business). 10 years later and the music still drives my life, something that I am continually grateful for. Thank you frisky, for the chance to get involved in a new way! - -Lauren Krieger (Solefield)
