After the successful launch of the SOTU Records web site, we sat down with the masterminds behind SOTU, and interviewed them on what's in store for music lovers everywhere.
Here's what they had to say.

Who is behind SOTU Records and
how did it get started?
The main person behind the idea of Sounds of the Underground is Obby Ledee. The reason for this is that Obby would incorporate this style into all his work by concentrating on selecting the rarest and most intelligent sounds that the Electronic Music Community had to offer. The Sounds of the Underground concept had been around for about 5 years, making it's presence known more and more everyday. But it wasn't until Obby met Joey Andron a couple of years ago that Sounds of the Underground officially started taking form as both their music styles complemented each other so well. Obby and Joey have always considered their sounds unique from others music, and if you have ever sampled one of their CD's then you would have to agree. Sounds of the Underground was abbreviated to SOTU.....since our sounds are basically unheard of from any other DJ's, SOTU couldn't be a better name.

What do you hope to achieve with the SOTU Records web site?
On our website we plan on raising the standard when it comes to music. We propose on bringing the most ground breaking sound to the surface of the Electronic Music Culture. We will appeal to all Electronic Music Enthusiasts by delivering the most invigorating sounds the Underground is capable of delivering. Sounds of the Underground will also have a merchandise page that will carry Full length Mixed CD's, T-shirts, DJ bags, stickers, etc....Currently we are wrapping up the necessary documentation to become an Official record label.

In your opinion, is there something that the South Florida music scene lacks, that you hope to bring through with SOTU Records?
What we think Miami is missing from the music scene is, a change of style..We are going to inject our own style into everyone's ears, minds, bodies, and souls. We like the music here in Miami , but it's definitely time for the change that we are about to bring.

What's in the works at SOTU Records?
On July 12th we will be hosting The SOTU Official Launch party @ Lola Bar. After that we will most likely continue this trend every Friday. We are looking to attract a local crowd that we can touch with our music.

Where do you see SOTU Records
a year from now?
A year from now we see SOTU Records as an official record label, releasing our first track.
