Farside Records is a long standing deep and soulful house imprint based near Dortmund, Germany, and run by it’s devoted founder Ingo Sänger, who has been at the helm since it’s birth as a compilation label back in 2000. After morphing his compilation imprint into an artist vinyl label in 2006, Farside has released a host of meaningful house records, for the most part made by talented friends like Herb LF, Matt Flores and Henry L, along with Ingo’s own work. Rarely a man for the spotlight though, Ingo has let the label’s amazing music take it forward to the place it sits now as one of Germany’s most respected outlets for deep house. We caught up with Ingo to find out more about Farside and it’s story so far.
