When Locutus began to reside in Europe to accommodate his DJ schedule, Bipolar Records eventually migrated to be manufactured and distributed there out of convenience. When Locutus returned to the United States to finish his Bachelor’s degree he wanted to promote techno from within American borders once again. Thus Polarized Records was created.

The concept behind Polarized was to combine the harder edged influences Locutus had picked up in Europe with the Funk and Soul he had always grown up with musically in America. Rhythmic Distribution was chosen for exclusive distribution of the project. While still in its infancy, Polarized has already saw the likes of such artists as Adam Beyer, Henrik B, the Jack of Clubs, and Locutus himself. Additionally look out for new tunes by Mark Broom, and newcomer Steve Nails.

 

 
Bipolar Records was the brainchild of Wes Herche (aka Locutus), and Danny Croucher (aka MC202). They had first talked about the idea of a label in 1996 and then put out their first release in 1997. Bipolar was mastered by Ron Murphy at National Sound Company, and pressed at Archer pressing plant in Detroit.

Shortly after their first release, Locutus moved to Detroit. He then started to run the label by himself. As well as the Locutus and MC202 releases, Bipolar went on to release the likes of Dietrich Shoenemann, the mysterious “SK”, the premiere release of the Danish artist Curse, The Sense, the Jack of Clubs, and Suburban Knight. The label was put on hiatus in 2001 due to the closing of Integrale Distribution. 2005 saw a brief return for the label with the highly acclaimed releases of "Corpus Opus" and "Kamen Kaburi" by Rennie Locutus and Rennie foster respectively. Locutus has since put the label back into retirement for the time being to focus on DJing and Polarized Records.
