Noise

About

Noise is an underground record label that emerged during the 1990s, establishing itself as a purveyor of experimental and industrial music through cassette-based releases. The label's catalog reflects a commitment to avant-garde and noise-oriented aesthetics, with a particular emphasis on tape format as the primary medium for distribution. This choice of cassette as the dominant format aligns with the DIY ethos prevalent in experimental music communities of the era. The label's artist roster encompasses diverse acts within the industrial and experimental spectrum, as evidenced by releases ranging from solo projects to collaborative split recordings. Notable compilations such as "Noisenet Vol.4" and "Noisenet Vol.6" suggest the label functioned as a curator of the broader noise and experimental underground, curating thematic collections that reflected contemporary trends within the scene. Releases like "Half-Assed Masked Elastoplast Disaster" and "Blodd Sand" demonstrate the label's willingness to work with provocatively-titled, boundary-pushing projects. Though details regarding the label's geographic origin and founding philosophy remain limited in available documentation, Noise's output positions it as a significant participant in 1990s underground experimental music distribution, contributing to the preservation and dissemination of challenging sonic works during a formative period for digital-era noise culture.
