About
Source Records is a record label with a dual history spanning avant-garde classical music documentation and electronic experimentation. The label's earliest documented output consists of the "Source: Music Of The Avant Garde" series, a groundbreaking periodical released on LP format during the late 1960s and early 1970s that captured contemporary experimental composition and performance art. This archival function established Source Records' significance within avant-garde music circles. Beginning in the 1990s, the label shifted focus toward electronic and experimental music, releasing albums from artists including Yoni, Ro70, and Hydroponics. Notable releases from this era include "Moon Safari" (1998) and "10,000 Hz Legend," which demonstrated the label's engagement with ambient, electronic, and innovative sound design. Source Records' catalog reflects a consistent commitment to documenting and promoting experimental music across multiple decades and aesthetic approaches, from classical avant-garde to contemporary electronic production. The label's vinyl-based format preference aligns with its archival mission and appeal to collectors and enthusiasts of underground and experimental music.
