Sun Records, Apple Records, Mute, 4AD, Creation, V2, Jagjagwar,... Some labels tend to point the listener towards good stuff.

Don't really pay attention to record labels, is that something that people do? :lol:

Try browsing through record labels websites sometime. It's fun.

Sometimes when I procrastinate I have a look at the record labels my fav artists are signed too. I'm not sure it's a common thing to do though.

Been going through Opal Tapes' releases, they're a really cool cassette label(though everything they release is up on bandcamp too I think). They specialize in the quirkier, atmospheric, lo fi, and more forward thinking side, of techno, ambient, and house.

Some great releases that y'all should check from them

Lumigraph - Nautically Inclined
Wanda Group - Piss Fell Out Like Sunlight
Various Artists/Opal Tapes - Cold Holiday
Ex-Con - Manual de força i tàctica
MCMXCI - Skogen, flickan och flaskan

What characterises an independent record label? I like Domino Records, that's ok right? They've got some great artists; Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, Hot Chip, Animal Collective, Last Shadow Puppets Villagers, Anna Calvi. I also like DFA and Rough Trade Records.

Warp Records. With a roster that includes Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Autechre, Flying Lotus, Grizzly Bear, Battles, LFO, Squarepusher, Broadcast, and Black Dog Productions, I'd find it hard to suggest another label.

Well, then mine would definitely be Up Records. Both that label and Sub pop introduced me to some amazing acts as well as basically defined my musical tastes when I first started listening to music.
