Celebrate Psi Phenomenon is a drone, noise and experimental music-focused label from Upper Hutt's Campbell Kneale, the prolific performer behind Birchville Cat Motel and Black Boned Angel. The label often utilises a distinctive wallpaper aesthetic to their cover designs. The label was particularly prolific from the mid 1990s until around 2008. #nzmusic #experimentalmusic #dronemusic #celebratepsiphenomenon
Record Labels
Prolific cassette, CDr and lathe-cut label run by Clayton Noone (aka CJA) and utilised by a fair few New Zealand (and some overseas) artists since the mid 1990s. Their first few years of releases had distinctive spray-painted covers. The original Don Lonie was billed as 'America’s No. 1 high-school assembly speaker', who recorded several albums for popular Christian record labels in the early 1960s. #nzmusic #undergroundmusic #rootdonlonieforcash

A Bill Wood and Jules Desmond ambient/noise/drone duo from Wellington, sometimes with contributions from Ben Spiers. Quite a pleasant listen as far as drone recordings go - their recordings often posses a haunting quality.
Record Labels
Not-quite defunct label based out of an Auckland record store that put out several limited edition underground releases in the 90s and early 00s. One compilation of this material (Fit for Kings) was actually issued on well-known US indie Drunken Fish. Since the closure of the Crawlspace record store, Crawlspace have been limited to short one-off 7" releases and casually distribution through mail-order and the K-road market. Truly worth visiting, the market is the place to go to find one-off Snapper and Victor Dimisich Band 7"s, and a variety of abstract low run vinyl releases and even imports.
