Escovator Records

In 1997, in Berlin, Germany a partnership between the artist Michael Ayers and the CEO of The Future Sound of Berlin, Paul Croshire, created Streammaker/Palace Records. With the help of the MOSB, Palace and The Future Sound of Berlin lasted until the spring of 2000. At that time recording artist DJ Studios (1999-2004, name changed to DJ Infection in late 2004) & member of The LoD Project Andrew Townsend had just received word that his first Electronic track "Club" had made charts sightings on international charts, in between his work for the FSOB, Jeffery Ayers had taken control of Palace Records when the contract between Michael Ayers, and Paul Croshire expired. In the winter of 2002, a deal between Andrew Townsend and Jeffery Ayers gave Andrew Townsend control of both Streammaker Productions, and Palace Record with a 25% share in the Future Sound of Berlin. Seeing that the name Palace Records, would conflict with already American production company called the same, Andrew Townsend decided to change the name of the label to Escovator Records in the spring of 2003
