Sarah Lamb: I guess it all started in back in Toronto. Alicia and I met on a dance floor and became instant friends and music allies. She was DJing at the time and well, I was just dancing, a lot!We spent most of our time seeking out music focused events and after a while, decided to start throwing our own parties as Hushlamb. We wanted to build an environment around the kind of music that moved us. We put our efforts into putting together quality events; events that focused on sound, music, and the dance floor.Some years have gone by, our crew is grown and is now made up of a diverse group of super talented artists and friends. Alicia is now a super dope producer and live act and I have spent a few years running the Sound in Motion festival. We are both in Montreal now and are starting to throw parties here and the timing just feels right.The shared desire to build platforms for the music that moves us, and that is what Hushlamb was born out of. It is that same desire that has prompted our decision to launch a label, it's just one more way to offer up the music that moves us. It's something we both always knew we wanted to do but we had agreed to wait until it felt right. It feels right nowExplain the name.
