Over the years, a two-genre approach has consistently covered both the electronic\/ambient and goth\/darkwave realms. Projekt\u2019s noteworthy and boundary-pushing darkwave acts established the label in the 90\u2019s as the American counterpart to England\u2019s famed 4AD. Lycia, Love Spirals Downwards, Lovesliescrushing and the aforementioned Black Tape For A Blue Girl each pioneered their own unique Darkwave sound. During the label\u2019s heyday in the dark genres from 1992-1997, Lycia toured with Type O Negative, counting Peter Steele as one of the label\u2019s biggest fans. Voltaire\u2019s 1998 Projekt debut, The Devil\u2019s Bris remains a classic of the genre. Projekt released more than 75 Steve Roach titles (two were even Grammy-nominated), is reissuing Michael Stearns\u2019 classic catalog, and released an LP of 1995\u2019s beloved dark Christmas album Excelsis which warranted multiple sequels, Unto Ashes &amp; Thanatos continue to release new music as well. With over 67 million tracks streamed in 2022, their roster grows with a biweekly schedule of new and classic titles adding to the 650+ albums. Founder Sam Rosenthal has helped Projekt thrive throughout the decades where so many other labels have perished; to this day Projekt continues to nurture the careers of its highly select roster of artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Listen to a Projekt40 playlist at Spotify:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Projekt 40th: darkwave, ethereal &amp; goth\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/playlist\/3FTISQ7T3KyoJTG6gxZHTh?si=3f1ce04d28ff492b&#038;nd=1&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Projekt Records\u2019 40th anniversary in 2023!
