Uncharted Audio

Uncharted Audio was set up around the turn of the century by Russ Parsons (aka Kone-R) and Dan Daley to bring you the finest electronic music money can buy. Dan left to become a family man but Russ has continued the mission, releasing a series of albums and singles across a mind-boggling array of formats.

Initially created as a vehicle to showcase the talents of their as-yet-unheard friends Cursor Miner and LJ Kruzer, the label has grown into a respected node of musical ingenuity and a flagship of the DIY aesthetic. Albums by LJ Kruzer (acclaimed by everyone from Mary Anne Hobbs to Mixmaster Morris, and culminating in a legendary appearance at the Big Chill Festival) and one-time Warp maverick and nude model John Callaghan have broadened the fanbase of the label since its early days of vinyl singles packaged in oversized food bags, and a 7" subscription-only series got the fetishists foaming at the mouth.

With a new single due from Cyan341 (currently getting heavy rotation from the likes of John Tejada, Move D and Benjamin Brunn) and albums by Octavcat and Line, you're only going to be hearing even more in 2009.
