Blueprint Records
Blueprint Records is a premier London-based techno label from the United Kingdom, championing electronic music with a strict ethos of quality over quantity.
Background and Philosophy
Founded by DJ/producer James Ruskin and Richard Polson, the imprint drew early inspiration from Underground Resistance's lo-fi attitude. Relaunched by Ruskin in 2009 after a brief hiatus, Blueprint has accelerated its output while staying true to its specific sound. Core producers James Ruskin, Richard Polson, and Oliver Ho broke free from prevailing techno norms, collaborating as Outline and under solo monikers to define the label's underground edge.
