Stik Records

Italy has several labels that release decent tracks and alongside BXR, Stik is one of the best, Italy has to offer.
Now with over a hundred releases, Stik has a sound that is hard techno-rave, not quite trance or gabba, but a grey area sound that works most dancefloors. The sub label Minimalistix, is along the same lines as stik, just a lot more tracky and techno, then its parent label. many have heard the tracks by Embargo! and would say this is just anthem-y trance, but if dropped at the right time could really work any dancefloor into a frenzy.
I find Stik to be an excellent label to play at peak hour.
If you can deal with a harder, ravey edge in 2004, this is a good label to check out.
