Seminal, New-York-based Indie, Next Plateau, began in the early 1980's and immediately attracted trendsetting writers and producers. Next Plateau then advanced onto the burgeoning Hip Hop landscape, and signed some of the cutting-edge rap artists and trendsetters of this decade and genre, including DJ Red Alert, O.C. and Crazy Eddie from the Fearless Four, as well as the underground divas that became iconic international stars, Salt 'N' Pepa. In the late 90's the company was sold to Polygram/Universal
In 2004 Next Plateau restarted, and with his ear still to the street, company founder, Eddie O'Loughlin, discovered Latin Hip Hop twins, Nina Sky, whose debut single "Move Your Body" was a Top- 5 mainstream, worldwide hit; Next Plateau has once again become the home of Electro, Dance and Trance recordings percolating at the clubs.
