We are proud to present to you… Proximity One: Narrative of a City

Proximity One: Narrative of a City, takes the listener through the musical landscape of Los Angeles as they hear it. With a disregard for popularity and scene, Proximity One juxtaposes established and up-and-coming talent and the result is a cohesive and inspired record. Proximity One: Narrative of a City features L.A. staples such as DaM-FunK and Daedelus, current beat-makers such as Teebs and TOKiMonsta, and Proximal’s very own Sahy Uhns, Benedek, Lawrence Grey, Wake and BearClaw. With vision, talent and a commitment to the city of Los Angeles, Proximal Records will always be a step apart and a step ahead.
