Concept City

About

Concept City was an independent record label active during the 1980s, primarily operating as a cassette-based imprint during the height of home recording and DIY music production. The label's output, spanning from 1980 to 1987, reflects an engagement with experimental and avant-garde aesthetics prevalent in underground music circles of that era. With a catalog of five documented releases, Concept City maintained a modest but consistent presence in the independent music community. The label's emphasis on cassette format was characteristic of independent labels of the period, which favored affordable, accessible media for distribution. Release titles such as "The Amazing World Of Mr. Concept" and "Conceptum Umbilicus" suggest a conceptually-driven approach to music production and presentation. While specific details regarding the label's geographic base, founding figures, and complete artist roster remain limited in available documentation, Concept City represents the broader ecosystem of self-released and small-batch independent music production that characterized the 1980s underground scene.
