Fred Nasen – 25 Years Visitor (Part 5)

In the early 2000s, Belgium had almost no answer to what was brewing in London, the dark, hypnotic intersection of techno and house soul that Terry Francis, Nathan Coles and Mr. C were shaping at nights like Wiggle and The End. Fred Nasen (A&R Visitor Records) fell in love instantly. While working as an import manager at N.E.W.S. Records, he had a front-row seat to the records coming out of that scene, and the conviction that someone in the Benelux needed to do something about it. With Kozzmozz as one of the few local parties willing to back the sound at their parties & N.E.W.S Records giving Fred carte blanche,, Visitor Records was born and lasted for around 41 releases till 2006.

Now almost 25 years later, these 5 vinyl samplers with much sought-after tracks from the label are available - never repressed since their original release.

The fifth release in the 25th anniversary series brings the circle closed. The original, unadorned version of 'Sunday Visitor' - the label's first release sits alongside 'Get Down' and 'Stickiness', two Dimitri De Wever collaborations that represent Visitor at its most functional and its most fun. Three tracks, no filler, and a fitting part to a reissue series that can only hint at the full scope of what Visitor put out between 2000 & 2006.
