Crouton Music
Milwaukee, USA
www

Since 1998, Crouton has released creative ideas via sound and material in small editions, featuring the work of: Aranos, Keith Berry, Richard Chartier, The Hafler Trio, Robert Hampson, Steven Hess, Jarboe, Jason Kahn, John Kannenberg, Lionel Marchetti, Jon Mueller, Bhob Rainey, Hal Rammel, Willem de Ridder, Chris Rosenau, Jim Schoenecker, Kevin Shea, Adam Sonderberg, Asmus Tietchens, Matt Turner, Matthew Waldron, Dan Warburton, Thomas Wincek, Achim Wollscheid, and more. Each of these people came forward with ideas - not just "records" - implying that in many cases, the sound is only a part of the picture. Crouton’s goal has always been to provide a platform for ideas and present them in the most appropriate way for the idea. Subsequently, recordings have played a strong role in that, but in no way undermine the text and design that might go into each project.


Live performance is another example of presenting ideas. We have hosted a number of concerts in Milwaukee and Chicago, including Phill Niblock, Daniel Menche, Z’EV, Peter Brotzmann, Olivia Block, Ken Vandermark, Konk Pack, Jason Kahn, Greg Davis, and many others.

Amanita Records
Anglet, France
www

Amanita is a label from the south west of France. We have released over 80 records since 1989. Considered as a noise/hardcore label in the beginning of the 90's we quickly tried to get rid of that reputation by releasing free jazz, ambient, IDM, pop as well... We co-released records with Megaphone records (USA), Define Knormal Music (USA), Rastascan (USA), Father Yod/Ecstatic Peace (USA), G3G (Spain), Fourth Dimension (UK), Trost (AT), Trottel (Hun)... We try to act as a technical support (recording studio, graphics) in total respect for the aestetics of the band. We do not impose our vision to the artists we work with.
