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

Mute was founded by Daniel Miller in 1978, and since then has signed and developed some of the world’s most influential recording artists – including Goldfrapp, Liars, Moby, M83, Erasure, Depeche Mode, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Laibach, Yeasayer and Richard Hawley – and become home to a crop of emerging talent and recent signings such as Cold Specks, Polly Scattergood, Big Deal, Beth Jeans Houghton, Josh T. Pearson and Apparat.

Whilst maintaining a firmly eclectic roster, from the earliest days of The Normal, Fad Gadget and DAF through to the techno era with artists such as Plastikman / Richie Hawtin and Speedy J, and to the present day with electronic artists such as Diamond Version and Maps, the label has always been a champion of electronic music.

Mute is also home to the catalogue of a host of seminal artists such as Can and Cabaret Voltaire.

Scottish electronic music producer Nick Dow blurs the lines between club, ambient and experimental music, combining cinematic melodies with organic instrumentation and visceral textures, enveloping the listener in a world of surging musical landscapes.

“I like music that makes you lose sense of space and time, something that grabs a hold of you and throws you around for a while. My aim is to create a sonic force of that ilk... physically or emotionally overpowering in one way or another.”


The Scottish producer’s 5-EP back catalogue tracks the journey of his evolution as an artist – from the energetic ‘Ancient Sequence’ released on Herzblut in 2013, to the critically-acclaimed ‘Insect Parade’ released on Traum Schallplatten in 2014, Nick’s projects have demonstrated his ability to create uniquely intricate melodies and express a diversity of sentiment in his music.

2014 saw the release of two further EPs – ‘Armour Plated’ and ‘Pocket Harmony’. The former in particular emphasised Nick’s capacity to create deconstructed, glitch-infected sounds through the analogue-infused track ‘Goujian’; whilst the latter proved his ability to venture outside the realms of conventional club music through his tempestuous track ‘Leap’.

As well as producing a string of successful remixes – most notably Sebastian Mulliert’s ‘Direct Experience’ in 2015 - Nick released his 5th EP ‘Myrrh’ in 2016. Bridging the gap between melodic techno and electronica, ‘Myrrh’ further cemented Nick’s position as an ever-evolving musical storyteller.

May 2019 saw the release of Nick’s debut album ‘The Weird’. Drawing on inspiration found whilst moving between Berlin, New York, Paris and Scotland - The eclectic album explores themes of expectation, despair, and hope; weaving intricate narratives through dream-like ambiences, earthly textures and ethereal melodies
