Sublime Frequencies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sublime Frequencies is a record label that focuses exclusively on "acquiring and exposing obscure sights and sounds from modern and traditional urban and rural frontiers", mostly that from Southeast Asia and the Arab world. Most of the releases are sound collages of music, frequently taken from local radio, and thus without track listings and artist names. The label is headed by Hisham Mayet and Alan Bishop of the band Sun City Girls, with the help of his brother Richard Bishop and others.
