Password Records: 24 records that have passed through the crate

The story of Password Records

Password Records is a Spanish hard house and euro house label that released in the closing stretch of the vinyl era. Our crate places it precisely: twenty-four references, all between 2007 and 2010, which is exactly when most houses in this family were giving up pressing.

That makes it a late label, and it shows in the repertoire: hard house and euro house almost evenly split, with some italodance, at a point when the dancefloor had already turned. The names that repeat most are local — Miguel Serna, Raúl Soto, Ivan Traka — so this was in-house production, not licensing.

Two prefixes

References run on PS- and a four-figure number with the MX suffix (PS-0008-MX, PS-0028-MX), and there is also a WHL- series. Since the whole catalogue fits into four years, the number is barely any use for dating: here it's the prefix that does the work.

How to recognise a Password Records release

The catalogue numbers we have seen follow the pattern PS-, WHL-. It is the first thing to check on the centre label when a record comes with no sleeve, which in this repertoire is the norm.
