Mixmastered Records signs Chicago artists Soundmaster T and Jah Rista CHICAGO, Illinois-

B96’s Dan Morrell announced today that he is launching a new Chicago based record label named Mixmastered Records. Mixmastered Records will focus on the best party music and will showcase a variety of genres and artists. Morrell is a well known DJ, currently broadcasting for the Chicago radio station, B96. As an entrepreneur, he also owns Chicago’s most successful nightlife promotions company, Mixmaster Throwdown. It is from these two experiences and his passion for music that he drew the inspiration to start Mixmastered Records. “I wanted to start this label for two reasons. First, I wanted to pick up where Kanye West left off with putting Chicago back on the map musically. Secondly, with all of the amazing undiscovered talent here, if the major labels won’t pay attention to these opportunities to make money, then I will!” Mixmastered Record’s artists include rapper/producer/songwriter Soundmaster T and rapper Jah Rista. Soundmaster T’s music has appeared on the popular dance show, So You Think You Can Dance, and in movies such as Date Movie and The Underclassmen. He has also performed with artists like Lil John, Twista, and Soulja Boy. “The major record labels really messed up by leaving these guys unsigned and everyone wonders why the industry is hurting. If the labels took more chances then they would have the freedom to assemble a quality line up like mine,” Morrell comments about his current artists.
