A DIY label which specialises in experimental electronica and improvised music. Formed in 2000 it’s run by the Sound manipulator / Improvising musician Ian Simpson (aka Noise Research) and is non profit making which enables the label to release exactly what it wants (ie: what it likes). Ian is based in the U.K.

Artists include Longstone, Eddie Prevost, ASTRO, Fonik, Philippe Petit, Kipple, Korhan Erel, Wolf Eyes, Alex Charles, Matt Davies, Richard Wilmer, Matthew Shaw, Demons, Astral Social Club, Gary Fisher, A Band, Towering Breaker, Black Forest Orchestra, Chris Whitehead, Sndsukinspook, Chris Lynn, Lanterns, Vultures, Generic, Kalistongue, Pangea, Graham Dunning, Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt , Thee Moths, ARK, Mutate, Ambient Fabric, Isaac de la Concha, Heddy Boubaker, Gnod, Banist3r, Noise club, Viva la Muerte, Serfs, Spektrox, Barbarians, Phroq, Janx: The Gathering, Ian Watson, Electronic Orgainca Ensemble, Christian Munthe, Martin Ohman, Herve Perez, Cage Cabarrett, Afgan, John Kannenberg, Sannyasin, Bacillus, Noise Research, Vok, Daniel Weaver, Luis Antero, Arklight, Narshe, Lol Coxhill, Paul Burnell, Thee Alex, Anton Mobin + more.

Ian's improvising electronics project “LDT” was the original driving force behind this when he realised that the potential of the Internet was huge for musicians and artists such as himself who would attract no interest from commercial labels. Hence the catalogue is available only through the Internet or at live events.
