Favorite small labels past/present?

[D.o.S.]

Well?

I got inspired by the small labels thread, and I know a lot of us have our own labels/have relationships with pretty under the radar groups, so maybe it would be a good thing to have a thread to check things out?

Still around:
Important Records - http://www.importantrecords.com/
Tee Pee Records - http://teepeerecords.com/
Neurot Recordings - http://www.neurotrecordings.com/

Sort of still around:
Hydra Head Industries - http://www.hydrahead.com/
12th Records - http://www.12threcords.com/

Not Still Around:
Leaf Hound Records (discography here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaf_Hound_Records )
Man's Ruin (disco here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man%27s_Ru ... iscography)

Another vote for Hydra Head. Shaped my musical path more than most other labels out there.

I gotta think about the others

Hydra Head +1

Three that I love a good 90% of their roster:
Deathwish
Sargent House
Brutal Panda

[space6oy]

does frenchkiss count as "small?"

[bob the r0bot]

MOONE RECORDS: http://www.moonerecords.com/

Still really young, but the early output has been good so far if you like chill.

[voerking]

i also really like TYPE for weirdo improv & electronic stuff: http://typerecords.com/

[dase]

I think I own pretty much everything Ebullition ever put out, for better or worse.

[sonidero]

Trance Syndicate really did it for me in the early-mid 90's...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trance_Syndicate

Also Stones Throw, Ubiquity, MUSH, Quannam, Creation, Too Pure, Sub Pop, Matador, Am Rep, and forgetting some...

Load
Skingraft
Strictly Amateur Films (saf)
In the Red

[space6oy]

In the Red

i used to have to deal w/ bands on that label ALL THE TIME because of the guy booking the venue where i worked.
he made them awful to me.

[Bellyheart]

Aw that's too bad. Definitely redundant after a bit but Pampers is my jam currently.
