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

Alessandro Cortini is an Italian musician, producer, composer, and instrument builder. 

Cortini is one of the foremost figures of contemporary electronic music, best known for his haunting, atmospheric work. Alongside being a longstanding member of Nine Inch Nails, he is highly prolific and has released a steady stream of his own heady music on luminary labels including Mute, Hospital, and Important Records for the past decade. Throughout his shadowy rise to fame, he has collaborated with the likes of Lawrence English, Daniel Avery and Merzbow (to name a few). Balancing dark ambience with smokey, pulsing rhythms, his compositions are perfectly restrained, textured and mesmeric. 

Cortini was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020 through his work with Nine Inch Nails, making history as the only Italian musician to have ever been honored with this recognition. 

In 2021, in collaboration with boutique synth builders Make Noise, Cortini released his own, custom-designed, semi-modular synth, “Strega” (Italian for ‘witch’). That same year, he used Strega to build his latest full length, Scuro Chiaro [Mute], which Pitchfork described as “pitched somewhere between purgatory and the planetarium ... consistently managing to thrill and surprise”. 

In addition to years of extensive worldwide touring, Cortini has also soundtracked fashion shows including Alexander McQueen, Dior, and several of Fendi’s presentations. In 2022, he exhibited a high-concept audio installation called “Nati Infiniti” for Sonar 2022 at Museu de Lisboa’s “Fábrica de Moagem.” A live version of “Nati Infiniti” is set to debut at Berlin Atonal in 2023.

Alessandro Cortini’s music has been licensed for use in television, film and documentaries, games, and commercials, including FX’s hit show The Bear, “Thank You Very Much” a documentary about Andy Kaufman, Samsung, BMW, Sony, and Netflix. Remixes have also been a part of Cortini’s identity – remixing the likes of Depeche Mode to Mogwai to Death Cab For Cutie, Yann Tiersen to Vatican Shadow, and more between and beyond.

The debut album out now ⤵️

MAGNETAR is the prismatic debut album from Perdurabo, the brainchild of classically trained multi-instrumentalist, electronic artist, and composer Davide Arneodo - an enigmatic force in music, with an exceptional blend of electronic, rock, and classical influences.

As a member of the seminal alt-rock band Marlene Kuntz, Davide contributed to the tremendous impact the band had on the Italian music scene. Amidst challenging times, he established his own label, releasing the EP "Komponent" produced at Funkhaus in Berlin and the collaborative record "The Time Traveller". Compositions like "The Answer" and "10 Pianos" were featured on Nils Frahm's Piano Day playlist, displaying Davide's artistic versatility.

After releasing three compelling singles last year, including "Hopes" feat. Daudi Matsiko and Tom Adams, "Dark Fire" feat. Echlo, and "Cast Stones" feat. Miro Shot, and receiving positive feedback from both critics and the audience, he set the stage for the full album's release. 

Produced alongside the exceptional talents of Gareth Jones and Matt Colton in London and featuring Jörg Wähner (Apparat), Gabriele Giletta, and Jochen Arbeit (Einstürzende Neubauten), this marks the beginning of a new chapter. New York artist Andy Gilmore has added a captivating visual dimension to the record, curating four distinct covers that reflect his visionary perspective.

As a genre-defying artist, Davide is leaving an indelible mark on electronic music.
