Sifted Recordings is comprised of three sub-labels that each specialize in different genres: Sifted Recordings Green (tech-house, tribal, progressive house); Sifted Recordings Red (techno, breaks, hard-house); and Sifted Recordings Blue (house, deep-house, funky house).

General Funk Theory spent a very successful month of October 2003 on DJ tour in Europe, playing national radio in countries such as Ireland and Belgium and blowing away capacity club crowds with their signature hybrid sound of tribal tech-house and underground techno. As a production entity, General Funk Theory has been turning out original tracks and remixes along this style as well.
