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.

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

"His music is like 'oriental hybrid music', made with moderate essences of analogue and digital. Mild but odd, sensuous but logical in the same time. Sometimes bring you in a magnificent landscape of great nature, sometimes show you transient street scenes of a road movie." (Nobuyuki Hayashi - Backyard Zine)
