A really musically pioneering cross pollinating east coast label up there with Transmat, Silent and many of the great 90s electronica labels. Instinct was really pushing the borders early on introducing Moby, Human Mesh Dance, Sub Dub and acid jazz gems like Kosma. Very diverse in their choice of artist with an affinity towards the upper echelons of quality and creativity. Instinct also brought us the lovely Fax compilations introducing many of our ears to German musicians like Pete Namlook, Jammin Unit, Tetsu Inoue, Gas(UK musician), etc. Grateful and deeply indebted to their vision.
