It's not obvious from the outside but inside a modest apartment in Asheville, North Carolina, Clearwater Hawes runs America's longest continually operating Drum & Bass record label, Force Recordings. It's part of his larger business, Straylight Music Group, which he's been running for nearly 30 years. Hawes also produces music and shares his home-office with partner Cheney Smith, who together are better known by their artist names, A1-Voodoo & SenseNet. Despite being a small operation, the two have big dreams: to make music for the rest of their lives and leave a mark on music history. They aspire to build out the next generation of Drum & Bass legends.
