Encouragement came rather quickly and the Sublabels „Music city“ as well as „beachlounge“ were founded. In October 2009 the first artist album of Dexter Curtin & Timo Manson was released on Audiodevot Recordings. An Album containing everything from techno to deep house. One Track of the album called „Old Life Can Go“ was voted on top ten of a samsung music contest and later on signed on a marketing cd of samsung.
