Portland-based PROJEKT RECORDS  home to Thanatos, Steve Roach, Aurelio Voltaire, Black Tape For A Blue Girl, Lycia, Erik Wøllo and many more, celebrates PROJEKT RECORDS' 40TH ANNIVERSARY. Over the years, a two-genre approach has consistently covered both the electronic/ambient and goth/darkwave realms. Projekt’s noteworthy and boundary-pushing darkwave acts established the label in the 90’s as the American counterpart to England’s famed 4AD. Lycia, Love Spirals Downwards, Lovesliescrushing and the aforementioned Black Tape For A Blue Girl each pioneered their own unique Darkwave sound. During the label’s heyday in the dark genres from 1992-1997, Lycia toured withType O Negative, counting Peter Steele as one of the label’s biggest fans. Voltaire’s 1998 Projekt debut, The Devil’s Bris remains a classic of the genre. Projekt released more than 75 Steve Roach titles (two were even Grammy-nominated), is reissuing Michael Stearns’ classic catalog, and released an LP of 1995’s beloved dark Christmas album Excelsis which warranted multiple sequels, Unto Ashes & Thanatos continue to release new music as well. With over 67 million tracks streamed in 2022, their roster grows with a biweekly schedule of new and classic titles adding to the 650+ albums. I spoke to musician, composer and founder SAM ROSENTHAL and SHEA HOVEY (Projekt's dedicated and long time Promotion Assistant )who also has helped Projekt thrive throughout the decades where so many other labels have perished. To this day Projekt continues to nurture the careers of its highly select roster of artists.
