What the press say (so far):

URB MAGAZINE (Featured review)
Various Artists / Plant Music
New York’s other dance rock label quietly curates yet another fine compilation (Plant) It’s fitting that Plant’s office was once situated beneath the DFA’s. While the two labels have long been friends and share a similar music background (dance party DJs turned disco-punk pioneers), the DFA has cashed hefty remix checks like a hipsterati Timbaland while Plant means nothing but a pot and some soil to many. Which is kind of tragic considering how much Keegan has contributed to New York’s nightlife over the past decade, from residences at Centro-Fly and his own popular club Plant Bar to the choice selections he’s slipped into The Sound of Young New York mix series. Plant Music is a much- needed reminder of the label’s consistency, a satisfying unmixed compilation of modern-day Plant classics (Neurotic Drum Band’s “We’re Gonna Rock New York” is like a history lesson of the Lower East Side’s post-everything scene) and previously unreleased cuts (Rinôçerôse’s filthy rock jam “Stop It” and The Glass’ darkwave gem “I’m Off,” both of which feature Keegan on vocals). Pharrell Williams may not ask James Murphy for Keegan’s number anytime soon, but he sure as hell should. Andrew Parks

EARPLUG
Dominique Keegan's recently released Plant Music compilation, an homage to his much-missed New York fixture, Plant Bar, reads as a latter-day love letter to the DFA dance-punkers and their notorious nightly Bacchanaliae. High-profile remixes by Gomma's Munk and Who Made Who are on here, but the standout track is "Someone Like You," by Swedish electro-rockers Revl9n. It offers the sonic equivalent of desire: angular guitars seduce a confrontational drum machine while icy femme-fatale vocals address liberation and desperation in under four minutes. Other highlights are "Digital Lover" by 33 Hz (think Joakim meets Chromeo), "Stop It" by French psychology professors Rinôçerôse, and the anthemic panty dropper "We're Gonna Rock New York" from Neurotic Drum Band, all of which perfectly encapsulate the attractive (but not vapid) aspects of the downtown party scene.

BPM MAGAZINE VITAL RELEASES (Preview)
New York’s indie dance imprint Plant Music is getting ready to drop their next label compilation sometime in November. Some of the talent includes Shy Child, The Voices, The Glass, Alister Doomington, Alex Gopher, Mainline and Neurotic Drum band (aka John Selway & Ulysses). Expect a pastiche of ‘80s post punk and and wonderful sleezy guitars licks.

BPM MAGAZINE LABEL PROFILE
Plant Music seems to withstand the test of time in New York City. Since their infancy in 1997, it’s been nine years running rampant around downtown gritty streets. When Dominique Keegan and Marcus Lambkin decided to start a label, originally spawning from Plant parties and Plant Bar in the East Village, no one knew it’d last almost a decade with ample room for fresh growth. In response to why he’s still doing what he’s doing, Keegan responded: “I’ve been doing it for so long because I’ve managed to get away with it for so long!” Born and bred on liquor, late night sessions and a few pills that one may recall from the 90s, Plant was indeed fed by the love of dance music and it’s drive to “rave on”. Sure, times and people may have changed, but the love remains the same. Now, the legendary DJ Stretch Armstrong has become a partner, and his newly formed band, Alister Doomington, along with Keegan’s band, The Glass, have spearheaded the resurgence of downtown “Plant Music” cool. Plant has also released a slew of compilations from various bands that highlight what good music means to them, Most recently The Sound of Young New York & Toronto.

BIGSTEREO.COM
Plant Music, who you might know from their “This Is The Sound Of Young NY” series, has a new compilation coming out on November 14th that I must say is pretty damn good. Well pretty damn good for whatever my opinion is worth I guess. Many of these tracks are exclusive or (until now) have only been available on 12 inch. Plant Music features unmixed favorites from Shy Child, 33Hz, Revlon 9 and many more. The opening track on the album, WhoMadeWho’s remix of Mainline’s “Black Honey”, is one of the many standouts from the Plant Music compilation. “Black Honey” has been kicking around for a while now, but it sets the tone for the entire disc. It is the perfect late night groove with a dark, sexy bass line and some vox that feel a bit hedonistic — perfect for when you have a few friends over and want something playing in the background.

GARTH in GSP MAGAZINE

garthGarth is a royal pain in the arse.

At his San Francisco parties - Wicked, Come Unity, Full Moons, Roots and Back2Back, he's been bringing the house down for 16 years. In reality, he just tapped into the city's unique energy and helped reignite the flames of conscious hell raising that existed here in generations past. Those Full Moon parties ushered in an era of Acid House hysteria that ripped through the west coast and spread into the heartland. The Wicked crew are credited widely with having kick started the city's dance scene in the early '90s adding to it's reputation as the red-headed step child of disco. From his highly coveted 10 year residency at Come Unity, where he'd have early morning revellers all join hands in ecstatic abandon to Wicked's 13 year odyssey as the city's rulin' sound system; a bloody good time was had by all...
