Switchstance Recordings is a music label and publisher (Oneminded Soul Publishing) from Cologne, which was founded in 2001 by Tom Strauch. The label draws its musical influences from music genres such as funk, jazz , hip-hop , reggae and afrobeat , which are combined with modern electronic production methods. The aim of the label is to be as free as possible in the music it produces and to switch back and forth between the most varied of styles and to combine and interpret them in new ways.

It also cooperates with other music labels while its music is used in international boardsport videos. In-house DJs play at international events such as Air & Style , SXSW Music Conference or Lollapalooza Festival .
Name meaning
The term switch stance comes from boardsports and describes the ability to skate, surf or snowboard with both the left and right foot in front or to switch between these two driving styles, which increases the level of difficulty and the variety of tricks . The name of the label thus refers to the change between and the combination of different music styles and genres as well as the complexity of the resulting music, which is reflected in Switchstance Recordings' motto "Quality Grooves since 2001".
