Where Sound Meets Sight
We believe every great album deserves a visual identity as bold as its sound. Our label was born from the conviction that music and design are inseparable arts.
Our Story
Born in a Recording Studio
What started as a small pressing operation in a converted loft has grown into one of the most respected independent labels in contemporary jazz and experimental music.
We have always believed that the album is a total artwork: the music, the sleeve, the typography, the pressing quality. Every detail matters. Our visual identity draws from the geometric clarity of Bauhaus, the bold primaries of De Stijl, and the dynamic energy of Constructivism. These are not aesthetic affectations but convictions about how music should be presented to the world.
Each release is a collaboration between artist, producer, photographer, and designer. The result is a catalog that sounds as distinctive as it looks.
Philosophy
Three Principles
Sound First
Every decision begins with the music. We work with artists at every stage, from studio to pressing plant, to ensure the sonic vision is faithfully realized.
Design Integrity
Our visual language is deliberate and uncompromising. Bold geometry, considered typography, and purposeful restraint. The sleeve is the first note.
Artist Partnership
We are not a service; we are a creative partnership. Our artists retain ownership, receive fair compensation, and have a voice in every aspect of their release.
The Roster
Featured Artists
Musicians, composers, and sonic explorers who define our catalog and push the boundaries of what recorded music can be.
Music is the space between the notes. Design is the space between the elements. We work in both.
