A Fern Ate My Synthesizer

Built from tape hiss and poverty… Substatik Recordings is an independent label dedicated to raw, uncompromising music from the edges — punk, metal, jazz, dub, garage, experimental, and beyond.

Founded in 2016 and rooted in a DIY ethos, the label supports artists who operate outside the margins, prioritizing authenticity over polish.

We aim to amplify voices that might otherwise be lost in the noise.
