Founded by sonic architect and explorer Robert Raths aka ghostworker in 2007, Erased Tapes is a truly independent record label that has disrupted the industry and rejuvenated the musical landscape. The London-based label has consistently nurtured genre-defying artists from all around the world without losing its avant-garde ethos.

2015 saw BBC 6 Music radio presenter Mary Anne Hobbs stage an Erased Tapes evening featuring Nils Frahm and A Winged Victory For The Sullen at the Royal Albert Hall as part of the prestigious BBC Prom. It was the fastest selling ticket of the entire season. Shortly after Erased Tapes was awarded Best Small Label 2015 at the AIM Awards.

On February 5th 2017 Erased Tapes opened the doors to its new East London home, marking the 10th anniversary by introducing fans and the public to the new Erased Tapes Sound Gallery.

“Ten years of one of the most important record labels of the last few years“ — Gilles Peterson

"Over the last decade, Robert Raths’ label Erased Tapes has developed a sonic profile perfectly in step with the growing taste for quiet, meditative works on the cusp of ambient and chamber music" — The Independent

“The heart-string-tugging London label that floats gently between 20th century composition and ambient music” — Rolling Stone

Bio 
Fakear's electronic collages are inspired by influences as divergent but inspiring as the post-dubstep scene in London, and the films of Miyazaki. 
Having established a fervent fanbase in his native France, Fakear has gifted his globally-tuned dance music to an even larger audience after dates supporting Bonobo and ODESZA across the US and Canada. He’s made waves in the UK as well, garnering deserved notice from a consistently attention-catching figure herself—M.I.A.— who tapped the young phenom to produce tracks on her latest record and asked him to perform at her Meltdown Festival in London. His last record "Talisman" sees him tap in his old influences, but with the experience and techniques of his 10ish years experience in music producing.

Writing began while Jona was in exile in the United States in December 2010. Few weeks later, the “band” enters the studio and through the green haze emerged 3 tracks as brutal as a kick in the balls, Raw as an open wound, yet as tight as a Swiss watch. The result will be a split album with noise rock duo performance Kunz release through Pelagic Records in September 2011.

After the recording of the split, Louis decided to quit the bass in order to focus on vocals and crowd fighting. From then on, the band would not have a bass player anymore. To solve this issue, Jona found the solution: having a ridiculous amount of guitar and bass amps, cabinets and a huge custom pedal board to allow him to sound like 2 guitar players and a bass player.

Adepts of the DIY logic, impatient and also hyperactive Coilguns has recorded its second effort “STADIA RODS” in a live environment in one day. 30 minutes of live violence were released on march 15th 2012 through UK’s finest DIY label Dead Dead Dead Music on a 12’’ vinyl and in a handmade cd version through the band.

June 2012, while the band was playing a couple of shows in Australia, they received an e-mail from long time friends NVRVD from Germany asking if they would like to take part in a split album. Coilguns obviously accepted and a week later they booked the YOYO studio in Perth, Australia with Adam Round. After 4 live takes of each song, a new ep was born. This last piece of spontaneous violence will come out on a 10’’ vinyl and in fancy A5 cd version. This release will also be the first one featuring HUMMUS RECORDS, a new label created by guitarist Jona Nido.

Right after getting back from Australia, the band had the chance to support Baroness, Norma Jean, Darkest Hour on selected shows and recently got offered to follow grind legend Nasum on 3 dates of their Farewell Tour 2012, main support being Black Breath. This came as a bonus to the previous supports of The Dillinger Escape plan, The Ocean or festivals where the band has performed next to international acts like Napalm Death, Sleep, Agnostic Front, The Secret, A Storm Of Light...

In november 2012, Coilguns entered the STUDIO MECANIQUE in La Chaux-de-Fonds to record their first full-length « COMMUTERS ». COMMUTERS, as per usual has been recorded entirely live in one take (except the vocals). Long time friend Keijo Niniima from Rotten Sound / Nasum came down to Switezrland and recorded vocals on selected tracks. Some songs have been recorded in the city’s rock venue the BIKINI TEST and feature up to 5 guitar players, all live recorded.

COMMUTERS will be out on PELAGIC RECORDS on feb. 22nd (GAS) and feb. 25th (EUROPE). Coilguns
Will be on the road for their 3rd headlining European tour from feb. 2nd until feb. 16th and also from march 29th until april 7th. This second leg of the tour will be going through the UK.
