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

Ólafur Arnalds is a BAFTA-winning multi-instrumentalist and producer from Mosfellsbær, Iceland. Ólafur Arnalds mixes strings and piano with loops and beats crossing over from ambient/electronic to pop.

Paul McGillivray is a seasoned producer, writing and releasing for over 25 years under the moniker Bluze. He has worked within the UK Hip Hop, Drum & Bass, Dubstep and, more recently, Electronica scenes. 

November 2017 marked the release of aptly-named new EP ‘Broken Bounds’ on the UK Independent label 'Cold Hill’. The first release of his career under his own name.

With this release, Paul shares the culmination of a life working with beats-based music that is now deeply integrated with his background of classical training on piano.

Truly breathtaking, the EP perfectly showcases Paul’s artistry in combining complex and evolving drum rhythms with synth and sub-bass, and brings forth a new form of deeply haunting, ambient, atmospheric, beats-based soundscapes for contemporary classical electronica, a combination that heralds a distinctly evolutionary development for the producer that gives much to be excited about.

This is a sound that is evocative of the melodies of Nils Frahm and the sparse beats of James Blake, melded with the melancholy ambient of Boards of Canada, but it’s a sound that’s still completely unique and his own.

His live shows have taken him all over the world, from performing regularly at Brighton's Cafe Expose, to prestigious club appearances from Ministry Of Sound in London to Baze in San Paolo, Brazil, and Prague alongside Fabio, and at Wilderness and Somersault Festivals as part of the Arūpa Gold project.

Paul is currently working in the studio on his forthcoming album, which will be released in the summer of 2018 and alongside the Broken Bounds EP, forms the basis for his set for this years live performances and festivals.

Arupa Gold is an improvisational music collaboration project by Paul McGillivray (Bluze), Kavi Jezzie Hockaday, and Ella Joy. We don't plan or discuss what we're going to play; we just plug in our gear, and hit 'record'.  This in-the-moment way of playing and recording together is just how we like it; spontaneous and formless.
