Retronym

Retronym www.retronym.co.uk / online record label releasing completely free electronic and experimental music Well, some of them were, but that still wasn't enough.

The idea for Retronym all started in 2008 when two long-time friends realised that there were a lot of awfully talented artists out in the world that weren't getting the recognition they deserved. The growth in popularity of internet-based record labels prompted the birth of a creative hub to collect and promote all forms of expression and artistic ideas, to create a new culture of self-expression

without limits or boundaries. A place where people can withold nothing. If it gives us an insight into the unique way every individual mind works - be it sound, music, painting, sculpture, poetry, stories, photography, hand-sewn teddybears, custom designed wallpaper, clothing, films, or anything else your lovely little mind can conjure up, chances are that we love it.

Cilocub has today released Jkan on his brand new Bandcamp page. This record has been shrouded in mystery for years with only subtle hints of it's existence and only one or two previews being made available to the public. It's amazing to finally hear it and to hear Simon's creative input from as early as 1988! The perfect accompaniment to these winter months: http://cilocub.bandcamp.com/album/jkan-expanded

After years of waiting, here it is...the new Cilocub record!

Five years ago Retronym was born, and Manchester-based artist Simon Cookson was the first to release music on our roster with the now hugely revered March Febrile EP. That record instilled exactly what our label was about and set the benchmark for all the beautiful and thought-provoking audio we hav...

Beautiful new track by Dirty Inputs. All proceeds go to the Alberta Red Cross who are tackling a flood in his home town which is affecting his friends and family, please donate.

Dirty Inputs is Aaron Dawson, electronic musician and VJ based in Toronto, Canada. His euphoric synth-driven soundscapes search for a balance between the beautiful and the terrifying. The deeply complicated relationship between nature and technology. This focus has created a body of work that is at…
