Middle East Underground is one of the largest platforms that support the underground art and the independent music which is the most important movement in the music society nowadays, and this happens through many channels.

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

Raised by a streak of vicious tigers, they taught Tokio how to hunt and provide for the ambush - life was dangerous within the jungle. There are zero rules, zero rest days, zero room for error - It was hunt, or be hunted. 
Then one day, Tokio entered the human world for the first time. 
He was lost and wasn’t sure how he ended up there. He stumbled into a busy street carnival.. Loud music playing everywhere, people dancing, dazzling costumes.. their excitement filled every corner of the streets - Little did Tokio know that imminently, it would be his escape from the jungle world, and the beginning of a whole new adventure into the human kingdom.
