Carpark
Very interesting US based label, merging abstract glitch laden soundscapes with beautiful melodies and organic feelings.

One of the finest labels out there - good quality soft electronic music, with an emphasis on soul and feeling. 'Nuff said.
|

Belgium's number one electronic music night, pushing the boundries and also the way electronica is showcased. The night is run by some of the coolest guys in europe - respect!
| | Hefty
Excellent US label focusing on the more organic side of electronic music. Home of electronic pop heroes Telefon Tel Aviv and Scott 'Prefuse 73' Herron's folk side project 'Savath and Savalas'.

Hobby Industries
One of my favourite labels right now, Hobby Industries doesn't release much but when it does you can guarantee that it's gonna be something special! Run by Danish nice-bloke Thomas Knak aka Opiate.
| | Interval Recordings An Israeli label run by our friend Yair Etziony featuring none other than Erik Skodvin (Deaf Center) on the design duties. Look no further for gorgeous academic minimalism.
|
Merck
Putting the bling back into the idm scene (if it ever was there...) Merck is at the forefront of the new electronic-hiphop movement. With some great releases under their belt already, they are going from strength to strength.
| | Miasmah
An online music label curated by Erik Skodvin aka one half of Type duo 'Deaf Center'. Free music aplenty here, so don't miss out!
|
Neo Ouija Neo Ouija, soft electronic music's spiritual home, the place where dreams are made brighter and happier than anywhere else.
| | Raster Noton A great label run by Frank Bretschneider and Carsten Nicolai (aka Alva Noto). Some very interesting releases and innovative packaging.
|
Rune Grammofon A label dedicated to recording Norwegian experimental, electronic and folk music with the keen eye of Kim Hiorthøy on the packaging and design side.
| | Seed Records Home to our friend Digitonal among others, and the hosts of one of the most diverse yearly nights in electronic music history. Insanity all around, and all the better for it.
|
Staubgold
Experimental label probably best known for the inspirational Ekkhard Ehlers 'Plays...' series. Definately worth a look if you like marmite that little bit more than jam.
| | Touch Long-standing and innovative independent record label with high quality music and design standards.
