Back in 2009, exactly five Marches ago, Culprit began its journey. 5 years of existence is a significant mark for a label and worthy of some introspection. With its new release, The Los Angeles-based label celebrates one of its most recognisable elements, The Standard Hotel Rooftop, the site of the labels signature parties for the past 6 years: Its been more than just a location - the rooftop has become the essential ingredient of Culprit's philosophy. Inspiring a successful three part compilation series, Above the City, which has united some of the best young production talent around, the series has showcased a particular brand of warm summertime sound, modern yet timeless. Each remix is a Culprit debut for all of the remixers. Yet, each of them is part of the extended group of friends of the label, a like-minded tight-knit collective.
