'''Citinite''' is a [[record label]] launched in [[2006 in music|2006]] which specialises in [[electrofunk]]. Its artist roster is a mix of new artists, such as [[Her Bad Habit]], [[Gosub]] and [[Sweat.X]], and older artists who helped pioneer the electrofunk genre, such as John Davis and [[Egyptian Lover]].

The first release on the label, ''Cazelica'', was by [[Robert O’Dell]] from Detroit. O’Dell was an occasional collaborator of techno pioneer [[Juan Atkins]] in the 90s and has worked with [[George Clinton (musician)|George Clinton]].

''Flashcan'', a collection of electrofunk tracks from 1984 by John Davis, was the label’s second release. Davis found infamy in the 90s as one of the real voices behind the pop group [[Milli-Vanilli]] and has also worked with [[Terry Lewis]] of [[The Time]] and [[Babyface]].

Her Bad Habit is an alias of [[Jimmy Edgar]] and his debut release, ''I Don’t Know (What You’re Doing To Me)'', featured more live instrumentation than he was previously known for.

Sweat.X are a South African group consisting of [[Markus Wormstorm]] and [[Spoek Mathambo]] and the critical success of their debut release, ''Ebonyivorytron'', has allowed them to embark on several international tours.

The label is also notable for releasing for the first time on vinyl, “Modernaire” by [[Dez Dickerson]], a track produced by [[Prince (musician)|Prince]] which featured in the film [[Purple Rain]]. The track was released on limited edition red vinyl and featured remixes by electro artists such as Egyptian Lover and [[DMX Krew]].

Citinite has also recently begun co-hosting occasional special events, the first of which, held in London on 8 August 2008 (08.08.08), was a celebration of the [[Roland TR-808]] drum machine and featured [[808 State]], [[Arthur Baker]], DMX Krew and [[I-f]].

Citinite is based in London and run by Manny Zambrano.
