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

New record for the end of 2016

A lot of noise and dark soundscapes from Germany with an Buchla 200e, an eurorack modular, some really cool Metasonix and Zerosum Inertia tubes stuff, and a bit Ciat Lonbarde gear. During travelling the Teenage Engineering OP1 gets a lot of use, too!

Enjoy!

If you want to hear more noise, please check out my new release "Game Over!" on "Game of Life":

Popol Vuh are considered as an influential German 70s Progressive Rock avant-garde act and are known as a pioneering band in Ambient-Electronica and Progressive Rock Music. Their records "Affenstunde" (1971) and "In den Gärten Pharaos" (1972), played with the Moog III Synthesizer, are claimed to be fundamentally influencing works in Electronica. They went down in the annals of German film music history with their soundtracks for legendary cinema classics like "Aguirre", "Fitzcarraldo", "Nosfeartu" and "Cobra Verde" by German film director Werner Herzog. 

In the light of a current rediscovery of the 1970s Ambient- Electronica and German Progressive Rock movement featuring bands like Kraftwerk, Can, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze or Harmonia, Popol Vuh is now the 2nd band, being remixed by today´s Electronica avant-garde, including treats by Stereolab, Mouse on Mars, Peter Kruder (Kruder & Dorfmeister), Thomas Fehlmann (The Orb), Moritz von Oswald, A Critical Mass, Alex Barck (Jazzanova), Roland Appel, Mika Vainio (Pan Sonic), and Haswell & Hecker. 

 Many thanks to the great interest and the great mixes by all of the above.
