Middle Pillar Presents is a New York based record label that specializes in ambient, gothic, and experimental music. The label began as distributor for other labels and artists entitled Middle Pillar Distribution. Eventually Kevin Dunn and James Babbo established Middle Pillar Presents to showcase artists unable to get signed elsewhere. The British independent label 4AD served as an inspiration to the founding of Middle Pillar Presents.[1] Middle Pillar Presents was originally established with the specific goal of releasing only "dark" music[1] in an effort to maintain musical continuity the sub-label Hell's Hundred records was established to sign bands of other styles, such as "punk, gothic horror rock, [and] psychobilly."[2]
