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

Indie label in the Hudson Valley. Lots of sounds, all of them Good.

Exterior is the artist moniker of Edinburgh producer Doug MacDonald.  The artistic mission is to bring together the formally disparate worlds of electronic club sonics with elements of live instrumentation.  Exterior’s pathway coalesced from years spent performing in bands and nights spent on dancefloors.  Guitar feedback and live drum eruptions provide a textural abrasion and a haunted, humane groove currently absent in much UK dance.  Admittedly, the latter’s unshakable syncopation and melodic pressure inform the method of the former.  The two approaches are synthesised most noticeably in live performance.  Second album HOLOCENE is available on Hobbes Music.
