| Info: | Josh Niemyjski also known as Plastic started ILLECT
Recordings in April 2003, after his departure from the Uprok
Records label as the Artist & Repertoire manager. Josh
Niemyjski had worked for Uprok from 2001-2003. He is also
founder of the internetsite Sphereofhiphop.com and Sphere of
Hip Hop Records, which was the first label he started in
1999.
Online
In July 2006 several albums were made available for the
first time through iTunes.
Distribution
The young label made a deal with Earnest Jefferson's PGE
Distribution Inc. (Point Of Grace Entertainment) to receive
distribution in the christian retail market in the Fall of
2004. This turned out sour as U-Zone Magazine reported: Josh
Niemyski of ILLECT Recordings paid marketing fees for a
total of 5 projects only to discover that monies, averaging
$4,000 per release, were never spent on promised ads. And
when ILLECT did receive a check, it bounced twice and they
still lost around $15,000. "That's a big deal for a new
label with a lot of personal finances at stake" states Josh.
The label broke off all ties with PGE in 2005.
Re-release
On February 28th, 2008 it is announced Soup the Chemist and
Illect Recordings will team up to re-release "Eargasmic
Arrangements" (2003).
New additions
On April 24th, 2008 it was announced Caramel Skillington
signed to ILLECT Recordings. Caramel Skillington are Smokey
Craun (MC) and Omar Sullivan (DJ).
