Psychedelic Rock

From hip-hop artists like Jay Z, Kid Cudi, Madlib, and Kanye West: rock music has always been a major source for sampling. Starting with rock ‘n roll of the 50s and 60s all the way up to prog-rock or psychedelic sounds. Samples ranging from classic rock to contemporary subgenres.

Cleopatra Records was founded in 1992 by long-time music fan, Brian Perera. Brian acquired his love for the music business by becoming an active participant in the Los Angeles club scene through the 80's and 90's. The label was officially launched with three releases, Pressurehed (a space rock band from the SF bay area) followed by the release of Motörhead's "On Parole", which had long been out of print. The third release, was actually a series of reissues by electronic pioneers Kraftwerk.
