re:discovery records

Profile:

Electronic label focused on the various sounds of underground chill out music.
The goal of the label is to share favorite lesser known music. Ones that we
feel are timeless and ones we want to share with a new generation. Also some
unreleased music from this time as well. The secondary goal is to help bring
back the chill out rooms where eclectic DJ's thrived with music like this.
Chill out rooms not restricted by any constant BPM or any pressure to
mix perfectly. A freeform style of DJing where a DJ could express his collection
in the fullest and the atmosphere was warm, relaxing, futuristic and welcoming.
- Where all styles of music could be played under the 'chill out' umbrella.

motto: *Dare to Dream*

The secondary 'Chill' logo connects re:discovery with its new sister label Discovery Records
which launched 11/1/22

secondary motto - 'you don't know where it's going unless you know where it came from' .
Is to encourage people to research and understand the history of electronic music more.

note:
The Color Series artwork signifies the series of releases that are compilations with tracks
chosen by the label owner in conjunction with the artist. It will have the re:discovery covers.

The other re:discovery records are reissues or unreleased music presented to the label as
originally done, updated or edited with artwork desired by the artist. Sometimes for their
first vinyl appearances.

      No releases in 2024... anyone know if Tim intends to keep it going? One of the better labels of the last few years for sure

        there aren't many labels I'm committed to purchasing based on blind faith.
        re:discovery has been one of them since I was recommended the human mesh dance 12" a few years ago. quickly caught up on back issues.

        god's work here -- bringing under appreciated, often timeless, outliers back to the surface. sonics are always phenomenal.

        re:discovery gives me firm belief that we are living in a golden age of reissued music.

        thanks tim!

                Such a great label, thank you Tim for all of your hard work here! So glad to see Re:Discovery and a few other labels finally reissuing the classics (and the less known gems) all these years later. If you are interested in 90's ambient electronica, techno/idm, etc. you should be checking all of this label's output but also Music From Memory for their excellent Virtual Dreams and MLO compilations. Don't forget to check both of Kenny Larkin's reissues (Azimuth and Metaphor) which were also reissued this year. Finally, the master of ambient electronica (Pete Namlook / FAX) just had his excellent AIR album reissued on vinyl, this has been out of print since 1994, don't miss!!

                  Great start with this label. Very cool sound/"driving home after a warehouse show in the winter" vibes to me.

                    Carefully curated 90's ambient that is put out by this new East Coast label, quality artwork and sound and top notch customer service.
                    The attention to detail is noteworthy and I love the fact that the stuff that is put out is not obvious. Even if you are a 90's electronic music you will be surprised.
                    Buy on sight.
