The music industry is dominated today by three companies. Outside
of it, thousands of small independent record labels have developed
despite the fact that digitalization made record sales barely
profitable. How can those outsiders not only survive, but thrive
within mass music markets? What makes them meaningful, and to whom?
Dominik Bartmanski and Ian Woodward show how labels act as
taste-makers and scene-markers that not only curate music, but
project cultural values which challenge the mainstream capitalist
music industry. Focusing mostly on labels that entered independent
electronic music after 2000, the authors reconstruct their
aesthetics and ethics. The book draws on multiple interviews with
labels such as Ostgut Ton in Berlin, Argot in Chicago, 100% Silk in
Los Angeles, Ninja Tune in London, and Goma Gringa in Sao Paulo.
Written by the authors of Vinyl, this book is essential reading for
anyone with an interest in the contemporary recording industry,
independent music, material culture, anthropology, sociology, and
cultural studies.
