Default Best Record Labels

Kind of surprised that we don't have a thread for this yet. Title says it all: what are your favourite record labels? Doesn't have to be an explicit record label, labels who only put out digital releases are fine too. I'll even allow it if you want to share some awesome music curation Youtube channels. Post em if you got em.

Sublime Frequencies is a favourite of mine. Founded by Alan Bishop of Sun City Girls and Hisham Mayet, the label explores new and traditional sounds with a heavy bent toward Southeastern Asian, African, and Middle Eastern music. They just have too much awesome music to explore.



A newer one from Poland, Instant Classic, lives up to its name with some really great post-rock/prog/psychedelic releases. Favourite artists: Merkabah, Alameda 5, Innercity Ensemble, Stara Rzeka.
