Decorative background: a full-screen generative visualization. While the transmission plays it renders live frequency bars and beat shockwaves in acid lime and magenta; while idle it renders drifting television static.

STATIC &NOISE

A label for experimental electronics and noise-pop from six cities that all sound like rain on a substation. We press signal. You bring the noise.

CH·00  SIGNAL IDLE — PRESS TRANSMIT

[ THE ROSTER — 06 ACTS ]

Six acts.
Zero fileable genres.

Every cover on this label is generated, not photographed — each act gets its own procedural dialect. Hover one and it misbehaves. That’s contractual.

Velvet Static

noise-popduoRotterdam

Two people, forty pedals. Writes love songs to broadcast interference and means every word of the hiss.

SIGNED 2019 · SN-001

Gridlock Choir

modular technocollectiveLeeds

Seven synthesists, one power strip. Their live shows are legally classified as weather.

SIGNED 2020 · SN-004

M0thlight

bedroom glitchsoloOslo

Records everything at 3 a.m. through a broken laptop mic, on purpose. The dust is part of the mix.

SIGNED 2024 · SN-010

The Analog Grief

post-industrialtrioDetroit

Plays sheet metal like it owes them money. Somehow the saddest band we’ve ever pressed.

SIGNED 2021 · SN-006

False Ceiling

droneambientGlasgow

One chord, forty minutes, no regrets. Ask them what it’s about and they’ll hold the chord longer.

SIGNED 2022 · SN-007

Hex Maiden

EBMelectroBerlin

Chrome-plated body music. Voted “most likely to be a rogue AI” by a fanzine we can’t legally name.

SIGNED 2023 · SN-008

Releases

Pressing play doesn’t stream the record — it retunes the house synth to the release’s tempo, key and pattern. A sketch, not the master. We think that’s more honest than a fake audio tag.

Formats are real objects. Digital is a lossless file and a thank-you note. The 12″s are cut loud enough to worry your downstairs neighbour, which is the correct volume.

[ MANIFESTO — READ ALOUD, BADLY ]

WE PRESS SIGNAL.

YOU BRING THE NOISE.

LOUD IS A DIRECTION,

NOT A MISTAKE.

We are not a content pipeline. We are five people and a landline pressing records by acts the algorithm can’t rank because the algorithm has never stood in front of a bass bin and felt its sternum change its mind.

Every release is mastered by a human, sequenced by a human, and argued about by several humans. If a machine made it, a person meant it.

[ THE LIST ]

Join the interference.

One email per release. No algorithm decides what you hear — a person with mild tinnitus does.

We will never sell your address. We don’t even know how.
